Nancy Kareen Moyer
Justice for Nancy Kareen Moyer — the trail went cold in 2009, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why was the front door ajar and who had access to the home? Was there evidence of forced entry?
What was the significance of the glass of red wine on the coffee table—was Nancy interrupted or did she leave voluntarily?
What happened in the 36+ hours between Nancy's last confirmed sighting at 6:45 p.m. on March 6 and the discovery on March 8?
Nancy Kareen Moyer, a 36-year-old financial analyst for the State of Washington, vanished on the evening of March 6, 2009, after stopping at a grocery store in Tenino. When her ex-husband returned their two daughters to her home on March 8, he found the front door ajar, lights and television on, a glass of red wine on the coffee table, but Nancy gone—with her purse, wallet, keys, and car all still inside. Despite extensive searches and ongoing efforts by her co-workers, no trace of Nancy has been found, and police suspect possible foul play.
