Moore Family Closes Reward and Memorial Funds
On Monday morning, Alicia Moore's family said they were pulling the reward and memorial fund in the murdered girl's name, saying they're feeling exploited in their time of grief.
The uncle of a Greenville teen who went missing and was later found dead in a trunk has been charged with the 16-year-old's murder.
Michael Vincent Moore, 57, was taken into custody by the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office without incident from his home in Grand Prarie and is being held in the Van Zandt County Jail.
Moore faces the charge of capital murder with a bond set at $10 million dollars.
When contacted by NBC 5 early Tuesday morning, Moore's aunt, Jessica Byrd, would not say who was arrested.
"The family is in shock," Byrd said. "We are not releasing any information at this time."
Don Jefferies, Greenville ISD Superintendent, released the following comment from the school district.
Greenville ISD was informed by the Greenville Police Department and City Manager this morning that an arrest was made overnight in connection with the Alicia Moore murder. Needless to say, we are relieved that they have arrested a suspect. We will continue to work with the GPD in any way we can until there is closure in this case.
Alicia Moore was last seen getting off her school bus at about 3:30 p.m. November 2, 2012. Cameras onboard the bus recorded Moore getting on at the high school and exiting at a bus stop near the corner of Bourland and Walnut streets in Greenville -- about a block from her home.
What happened to Moore after she exited the bus is a mystery. Moore's family notified police of her disappearance that evening.
Question were raised about how police handled her disappearance after authorities initially treated the case as a potential runway.
"I've been the one trying to get the word out -- fliers and stuff," her aunt, Jessica Byrd, said in Nov. 2012. "They (police) didn't really fully get involved until Monday."
Greenville Police Chief Dan Busken said an Amber Alert was not issued because none of the circumstances related to Moore's disappearance met the criteria necessary to issue the alert -- including knowing for certain at the time that she was abducted.
"Early on, we had a very limited amount of information that we had to deal with," Busken said in 2012. "As we went throughout this weekend, we compiled more information."
Greenville Independent School District Superintendent Don Jefferies said the school learned Moore was missing on one day later. The district attempted to trace her school-issued iPad but determined it had been reset and its tracking was disabled.
At about noon on Nov. 6, 2012, a construction worker found Moore's body in a trunk that had been dumped along Farm-to-Market 47 near a bridge railing four miles north of Wills Point.
Investigators, which include the Greenville Police Department, Texas Rangers and Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office, have remained tight-lipped about the investigation. Investigators have not released the autopsy report that explains how Moore died.
