Here is a link to a story about the other case. He was found guilty of murdering Christina Moore in her home in Round Rock and sentenced to life in prison. She was pregnant and had another young child.

I'm confused. If he is pleading "Not Guilty" then what do the police have to link him to Rachel? I guess they have something but haven't announced it?

SewingDeb · #**203** 11-09-2006, 11:38 AM

I noticed that he is no stranger to the criminal justice system. : (

SewingDeb · #**204** 11-09-2006, 11:46 AM

I'm sure we will hear some details before too long.

maima · #**205** 11-09-2006, 11:47 AM

Oh my goodness. I can't believe something is finally happening with Rachel's case!!!! After all this time.

Prayers for Robert and all of Rachel's family and friends...

I think so too. I pray for her family. This is so sad. To just vanish without a trace.

In this article
http://www.kvue.com/news/local/stori....1df4e24f.html

Court Documents say Moore hit Cook with a hammer and sufocated her.

That suggests some form of confession to somebody IMO

SewingDeb · #**208** 11-09-2006, 12:05 PM

Did anyone notice the striking resemblance between Rachel Cooke and Christina Moore?

Prayers for the Cooke family. I hope this brings some measure of closure though I know there can never be complete closure.

That's what I'm thinking, Tybee.

Or an actual witness/accomplice to the crime has finally come forward.

Oh my gosh.. .this just gave me the heeby jeebies. I remembered reading a physic reading of this case. I just went back to it http://www.underworldtales.com/rachel.htmAnyway, in the text she said she kept getting the name Christina and she thought it was someone else this killer had killed. Yikes - Christina Moore is the lady this man killed.

SewingDeb · #**211** 11-09-2006, 12:50 PM

That is pretty wild mocity!

Usher737 · #**212** 11-09-2006, 01:10 PM

This article claims Moore was susposed to plead guilty this morning to avoid a capital murder change. His not guilty plea threw a wrench into the proceedings.

Kim777 · #**213** 11-09-2006, 01:29 PM

There is a little more info here about the change from guilty to not guilty. It also says that he confessed to authorities in August.

This creep thinks he's playing a game.

scandi · #**215** 11-09-2006, 03:05 PM

Thanks for the link Mocity,

Amazing that she came up with the name Christine isn't it!~ If she was right about that, which is so amazing, I bet she was also correct in her visualization of Rachel's skelatonized remains at the bottom of a body of water. There are lots of bodies of water close around the area of Williamson County.

Have they searched any of these bodies of water? Also, was Christine found in her home? I don't think he hid her body. If he has killed more than once he is a serial killer, right? They usually don't hide bodies, but I could see him throwing her body into a lake, couldn't you?

reb · #**216** 11-09-2006, 03:18 PM

question-- where was moore living when he murdered christina, and (now so we think-) rachel?? and who was he living with, if anyone? does he have any relatives/friends with land or lake access nearby? did they check his momma's house? hopefully they are already on this.

mocity · #**217** 11-09-2006, 03:32 PM

I thought I read in one of the articles that he is married and had given Christina's wedding ring/ and or earrings to his wife. That is one way he got caught.

EdinburghLass · #**218** 11-09-2006, 03:40 PM

Thinking of Robert, Joanne and Janet during this time....

That is spooky.

Bradley would not answer questions on whether Cooke’s body had been found.

“There were several things that Michael told us that only the person who was involved in the abduction and the probable slaying of Rachel Cooke could have known. We verified the facts that he gave us and it was pretty obvious, well it was completely obvious, that he had to have been there … at the location and that his confession in all likelihood is true,” Williamson County Sheriff James Wilson said.
“We were ready for this phase of it, but he’s decided to play with us a little bit, but we’re still here, we’re not going away,” Janet Cooke, Rachel’s mother, said. “Closure’s going to come in bits and pieces, I think. And, I think, we got a little bit today.”

The morning’s events were upsetting to the Cooke family.

“Oh, I’m extremely angry, but I’ve been angry for four years, but I channel it in other directions,” Robert Cooke, Rachel’s father, said. “I just couldn’t believe that he would … put us through this, what his motives were to string us along and tell all the information he had told so far and not go through with it,” Robert said of the “not guilty” plea.

“I’d like to see him stay in jail the rest of his life. He’s a predator. He’s killed two people at least. That’s what we know. That’s what I know,” Robert said. “I think it’s hard to consider him a person. This is not a person.”

Moore’s involvement in the case was not made known to the Cooke family until Wednesday, Robert said.

Prayers for the Cooke family.

Yes, husband found her in their home when he came home at lunch. Here is a link to an old article:

Here's video of Moore and the Cooke family (God help them) in court:

Moore looks like a total loser. I'm feeling such anger towards that inhuman loser, I can't imagine what Mr. Cooke is feeling.

scandi · #**223** 11-09-2006, 04:32 PM

Thanks Kim. It is true that Christine and Rachel look a lot alike.

They did find her earrings in his house, along with some of her checks.

And he gave her wedding rings to his wife.
