On August 1, 2005, 52-year-old Linda Kay Moreno and her 17-year-old daughter Danielle were found shot to death in their Kennewick home. Both victims died of gunshot wounds to the head after Danielle managed to make a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance. Linda, born April 24, 1953, in Yakima, Washington, had recently started a floral design business called Perfect Touch Design and was active in a Bible Study Fellowship; she was remembered locally for her faith and compassion.

Investigators quickly focused on James T. Moran, a man already wanted in connection with the 2004 murders of his wife’s parents; tips placed Moran in Kennewick around the time of the Moreno killings. Moran died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a police chase in Vancouver, Washington, days after the double homicide, ending the manhunt but leaving questions about motive and his exact link to the family. Linda’s husband Lorenzo Moreno later filed a $20 million claim alleging failures in interagency fingerprint and database communication allowed Moran to remain free.

Did anyone in Kennewick have contact with Linda, Danielle, or Moran around late July and early August 2005?
