Jerry Lee Moore was 65 and a retired mechanic when he was found shot to death on June 5, 2017. A passing motorist discovered his body around 11:30 p.m. on Cypress Hill Trail in a dirt area behind a gambling parlor near Rancho Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard. The Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a shotgun wound to the head; his hands were cuffed behind his back and detectives described the killing as an execution.

Within days two people were arrested during a traffic stop and charged with murder, robbery and conspiracy to commit murder: 53-year-old Blane Ward and 51-year-old Charlene King. Investigators say robbery was the apparent motive. Moore had recently received a $30,000 settlement from a car accident and had told neighbors; he left with King after she asked for help with Ward’s vehicle and was last seen in his green 1994 Ford pickup truck. The truck was later found near Ward’s trailer, and witnesses reported King and Ward rifling through Moore’s trailer after the killing. Investigators recovered two stacks of cash totaling $20,000 in a vest pocket on Moore’s body.

Did anyone in the neighborhood notice Moore’s truck or unusual activity around the trailer park the night he disappeared?
