A convicted killer has now been charged in connection to the 2009 murder of a young woman in Ohio.
Robert Lindsey Moore, 51, was arrested Dec. 17 in Ohio by members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Fugitive Task Force on charges of aggravated murder, murder and repeat violent offender specifications, according to WKBN.
Moore was indicted for the death of Glenna Jean White, who was 17 years old when she was last seen on June 2, 2009, WKBN reported.
Assistant Prosecutor Michael Yacovone said Moore was the last person to see White alive and he was facing a charge of raping her when he gave her a ride, according to WKBN.
When relatives saw Moore the day White went missing he was covered in blood and mud. His knuckles were also bloody, Yacovone said, according to WKBN.
Authorities have searched for White’s body for years, but have not been able to find her, WKBN reported.
The case was reopened in March of 2020 after an officer received a tip while working on an unrelated manner, according to WKBN.
In 1993, Moore was convicted of manslaughter in Stark County for the death of Virginia Lecorchick, 22, who was beaten to death, WKBN reported.
Lecorchick’s body was found on July 10, 1993 at Willow Point Beach in Lexington Township, Virginia, and Moore was arrested two days later, according to WKBN.
Moore was charged with murder but convicted of involuntary manslaughter after a jury trial, and he was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison, WKBN reported.
