GUILTY TX - Alicia Moore, 16, Greenville, 2 November 2012

[Ransom]

also found a memorial Facebook page for her...please remove if this is against any rules--

https://www.facebook.com/RipAliciaMoore

It seems that the community is very upset and coming together for her based on the number of likes and comments.

Also, an interesting comment from a boy on this memorial page saying he just realized he had talked to her on meetme? Anyone familiar with meetme?

Yes, I know of it. UGH

 

[PASA]

I hope they find who did this to Alica and she gets justice. My heart goes out to the family.

 

[Amster]

Has she run away before? Our local news is saying they are checking social media of hers for clues...

 

[alwaysonmymind]

Moore was last seen leaving school, a place where family and friends said she struggled. Classmates said she kept to herself and was sometimes bullied.
“People would call her names,” said A***** O*****, who had a history class with her.
On Friday, her mother expected her to stay late to participate in a free tutoring program, said her aunt, Jessica Byrd. But instead she took the bus home, getting off around 3:25 p.m. at a stop just a block from where she lived with her mother and grandmother.

I am probably the only one here that didn't have a hissy fit during the presser. I just listened and "thought" LE was saying something without saying it. IYKWIM.

Here's a reporter's notes from the presser: http://heraldbanner.com/topnews/x1501151614/NOTES-What-was-said-in-the-press-conference

Please note from link above^^^:
Is it true she was initially classified as a runaway? "I can't specifically say whether she was classified as a runaway or a missing person. A lot of times those two terms are synonymous in our classifications. I know some of the initial information we received in the police report indicated this may have been something that happened before. We're still investigating that and trying to come up with answers."

etc.

Watch here: The mom shows how far she had to walk to get home:

Something is wrong here and it's not the Texas AA system nor the GISD nor the LE ... JMO.

The family blew this off at the presser. IMO

Goodnight good people. Sleep well. Blessings to all the missing/lost/found. Justice for all.

I wish kids were not so mean to each other, life is hard enough. I know an adult may well be responsible for Alicia's death, but still, the idea that she was called names, etc. is so sad. WTH is wrong with people.

Thinking a bit outside the box here...I was looking at other unsolved murders of AA girls/young women in the area...this one was a long distance but interesting because of where the girls were found (also by a freeway) and they were around the same age as Alicia

Tamara Fisher and Lynette Bibbs

http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-18559_16...=page;previous

Both girls were shot. Fisher was fully clothed, but Bibbs was wearing only a blouse and sandals. The rest of her clothes were missing. When there bodies were found, the lack of scratches and bruises led investigators to believe they had not been sexually assaulted. They were last seen a couple of days earlier when they went to a nightclub with a 22 year-old acquaintance. He took them to a motel on Old Spanish Trail afterward, and claims he left them alive Friday morning, but returned later to find them gone.

Bibbs' mother, Verlina Bibbs, was murdered about ten years earlier. Her throat was cut, and her body left in a field in La Porte.

BTW-I'm looking at these sites to find other similar cases:

Even if there is no link to Alicia, it can't hurt to give these cases a fresh look...there are so many of them, it's just astounding.

 

[TreeClimbingGirl]

Another thought...Greenville is close to Oklahoma, where Jaray Wilson disappeared (possibly a victim of human trafficking). She also had a profile on Meetme.com, and is 16. Link to her case is in my signature...

 

[Really?]

what is meetme?....I have never heard of it and I don't really what to enter it into a search.

Thank you

Here's a description of MeetMe from Wikipedia:

MeetMe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder if Alicia's aunt and the other adults in her life knew she had an account there?

Since Alicia was reportedly bullied at school, maybe she was searching for social acceptance online and felt uncomfortable under an adult's watchful eye? Doesn't make it okay, but wondering if that's what led to the horrific crime against a sweet, quiet young lady.

From experience, I have to say adults are even worse. I think the school bullies learn their behavior from their parents and/or grandparents. Then those bullies grow up and don't get any nicer.

IMO, there's a stark contrast between how the Jessica Ridgeway case and Alicia's case were handled initially. In Colorado, LE would not come out and say that Jessica was abducted until they found her body. There were even suggestions thrown out that Jessica may have skipped school and run away. I don't know if that is what LE believed early on. But, despite being hesitant to call Jessica's disappearance a crime, they treated it like a crime from the beginning. They searched homes in the neighborhood, they interviewed people and collected DNA samples. It was a very active search from day one. Why did that not happen with Alicia?

Now that the TX Rangers are on the case, I hope Alicia's murder is investigated very aggressively from hereon in and the monster who killed her is ID'd and captured before he can hurt anyone else.

 

[Indy Anna]

Regarding Alicia's backpack: I don't remember reading or hearing whether LE has found it. Was it with the body? Is it still missing?

If LE has the backpack, I hope they will find DNA on it, leading to an arrest very soon. If not, shouldn't they be asking the public to keep an eye out for it? I haven't seen any pictures of it, except in the video of Alicia getting off the bus in which the backpack is barely visible.

Jessica Byrd, Moore’s aunt, said she never made it to the residence where Moore’s uncle was waiting.

Do we know anything about this uncle? Was he there alone? Was he supposed to meet her?
Does he live there?

 

[SurfieTX]

I don't know if this has already been posted,

On Wednesday night, the community gathered for a tearful memorial to Alicia Moore, and News 8 talked with the parents of another teen who was nearly kidnapped along the same route.

[Gardenlady]

Those vigil pics are heartbreaking. :cry:

Can you imagine how all those teen girls feel, at that vigil? Knowing this happened to someone much like them. Just getting off the school bus on a Friday afternoon, looking forward to the weekend, and then somehow you end up murdered and dumped in a friggen trunk miles away.

Our young women should not have to live with that kind of fear. :furious:

 

[TexasCharm]

A couple of thoughts:

1. Facebook: Facebook allows for private groups - where posts can be made and NOBODY can see them unless you are in the group. I am part of one. So while Aunt may have had A's public posts come to her phone, there are ways to communicate on FB "invitation only". AND there are soooooo many other social medias out there.

2. The box. I haven't heard them say that they know for certain when the box was placed at that location. The way it is sitting, against the rail, I'm doubting most cars buzzing by would even notice it ... It could have been there since sometime in the middle of the night Friday.

3. I hate this "kid gets off the bus and disappears" crap. A. Lowitzer case haunts me. Off the bus and *poof* gone.

4. I feel like this case will be solved quickly. I don't know why, but I'm certainly hopeful with the Texas Rangers on the case.

Justice for Alicia!

imo

I asked the same thing but I still do not know.

The family expresses hurt that Alcia's case was not taken seriously or handled sooner. They said she loved the musician Rihanna and listened to her CD everyday. Alicia was described as very shy and quiet. She loved her dogs and spending time with her family.

They hope her death will not fade away and become another forgotten storyline.
