He left a suicide note for the mother, planning to take his child. He waits in the woods for his son to pass by on his way home froms school. Spotting his son, Moore jumps out of the woods and tries to take the boy. The child fights back, which explains the missing tooth of the victim and the handful of short, caucasian hair. Moore tried to drug his child, but accidentally killed his son during the stuggle, so he left his son on the field by the edge of woods and the fled the seen.
