On May 30, 2006, 46-year-old Edith Anne Annie Overman-Moore was found dead in the basement bathroom of a house in Omaha, Nebraska. She was wrapped in a plastic sheet; an autopsy determined she died from gunshot wounds. Blood and other signs of a violent struggle were reported throughout the home.

Investigators traced the case to James P. Dragon after an attorney told police Dragon had said that something bad had happened at his house the night before. Dragon went to the police station with his lawyer and consented to a search; officers located Moore’s body. One of Dragon’s brothers later told police Dragon had confessed to doing something he would regret, and another brother identified the murder weapon as his own, saying he did not know it had been taken.

James P. Dragon pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years to life. An appeal seeking a reduced sentence was denied. Did anyone who knew Anne or her circle in Omaha notice anything out of the ordinary in the months before May 2006?
