A family dispute takes a deadly turn.
- Stacie mackenzie: There was blood coming out of
His nose and his mouth.
And I didn't know where the blood was coming from.
- Narrator: As the smoke clears, a multitude of suspects emerge.
- Det. Gabe burchfiel: Anybody that is able to be put
In handcuffs will go into handcuffs.
- Narrator: In this real-life game of "clue,"
Investigators must sort through a cast of characters
To figure out who is responsible--and why.
- Narrator: And when the case is finally solved,
It will prove that sometimes the truth
Really is stranger than fiction.
- Stacie: She played the lead role in a horror movie.
Wonder why she was so good at the role.
- Trinity spickard: It's very bizarre,
It's something you couldn't make up.
- Stacie: I knew the truth.
It was cold-blooded, calculated murder.

- Narrator: The remote town of applegate, oregon,
Located in jackson county,
Is known for its picturesque vineyards and quaint ranches.
- I grew up here, born and raised, and it's like
I know everybody that knows everybody that knows everybody.
So, in that respect,
That kind of makes it a small town, you know?
- Narrator: On the afternoon of July 26th, 2016,
Applegate's pleasant façade is transformed into chaos.
- Gabe: The dispatcher was asking her questions,
She was unclear.
Somebody shot a gun and there was now
A male down on the front porch.
- Narrator: In the chaos, carlton olison,
Shane's roommate, takes over the phone and agrees to follow
The operator's instructions for cpr.
- Lucy durst: Carlton olison was one of shane moore's friends
And I believe he lived out on the property
On thompson creek road with shane.
- Narrator: As carlton attempts to save shane's life,
First responders make the 22-mile trek to the remote ranch
On thompson creek road.
- It took law enforcement approximately 30 minutes
To get there.
- I started hearing yelling and screaming,
And I walked out,
All I knew was that my sweet friend was laying there.
It didn't even register in my mind that he'd been shot,
Not immediately.
- Narrator: Shane patrick moore was born in new jersey in 1953,
The middle of five children.
- Stacie: His dad was an admiral in the navy.
He got drug around, you know,
From location to location, and that was hard for him.
- Narrator: Always on his heels was his younger sister
Of four years, kelly.
So when shane went to law school in california,
Kelly did the same.
- Kelly was an attorney back in the early 90s.
- Narrator: While kelly worked long hours making a name
For herself as a high-powered corporate attorney,
Shane decided practicing law wasn't for him.
He opened an antique bookstore in san francisco instead.
- Randy walker: It was just totally successful
All the way around the board.
And any book he had, he'd read.
So, a very, very intelligent guy.
- Narrator: Not to be outdone by her brother,
In 1989, kelly wrote a book with her new husband,
Actor dan reed.
- She talked about being a writer,
And working on some books, and that she had a book
She was working on, a true crime story
Called deadly medicine.
They made it into a made for tv movie.
- Narrator: Just one month after the publication,
Kelly and dan welcomed a daughter,
Aisling "tucker" moore-reed.
The couple went on to have two more children,
But it was clear kelly always saw something special
In her firstborn.
- Mig windows: Kelly was a supportive mom.
They just had kind of a fun, like playful energy about them.
And they seemed very close.
- Stacie: She was totally devoted to tucker.
Tucker was her favorite, and she made...
That wasn't a secret.
- Narrator: It was also clear that young tucker
Inherited the acting bug from her dad.
- Stacie: She's a great actress.
Oh lord, she's a great actress.
- Narrator: Devoted to ensuring tucker's talents
Didn't go to waste, kelly left her career behind
To be a full-time stage mom.
- Stacie: She let the whole wide world know how,
That tucker was going to be a star and was going to,
You know, make a million dollars,
And take care of her in her elderly age.
- Narrator: As siblings,
Kelly and shane chased their dreams in california.
In 2000, their parents retired to a picturesque ranch
In southern oregon.
- Randy: It was between 150 and 160 acres.
It's the kind of place that you can go and feel comfortable
And not have to worry about what's going on around you.
- Narrator: By 2000, kelly and her husband were divorced.
Since kelly had abandoned her career to raise her children,
Her parents helped her out with a monthly allowance
And a place to live.
- Stacie: When kelly moved to oregon,
Her parents purchased the second-oldest home
In jacksonville.
Uh, which is a beautiful historical home
For her and her children to live in.
- Narrator: Kelly's daughter tucker was an instant hit
In small town oregon.
- Stacie: Tucker is a beautiful girl.
She is very, very intelligent.
She is well, um, well-educated and charming and talented.
She's very talented.
- She was an ashland high school student.
Uh, she graduated from ashland high school,
Which has a lot of performing arts programs.
- Mig: I remember immediately, uh,
Just being wowed by her talent.
She, you know, was really passionate about theater.
She just had this kind of like energy about her
That was, you know, she really seemed to radiate that like,
Sort of confidence.
- Narrator: While his sister and niece thrived
In their new life in oregon,
Shane joined the family there to care for his ailing father.
- Randy: Shane had taken care of his dad
Through his als disease.
And for six and a half years, he was there
Waiting on him hand and foot.
Took care of everything that needed to be done
Out there at the property.
- Narrator: Though he and his sister kelly
Had always been in competition,
Uncle shane was tucker's biggest fan.
- Stacie: She did alice in wonderland,
And he went and saw that,
And he was very, very proud of tucker's performance.
He bragged about that a lot.
- Narrator: Following high school,
Tucker left oregon for usc, where she majored in drama.
But once there, an unexpected event
Put her dreams on hold.
- Mig: Tucker said that her boyfriend at the time
Had wanted to have sex, she wasn't ready,
And he pressured her into having sex, essentially.
- She accused him of rape and filed charges against him.
And then, from what I understand,
The college didn't see any evidence,
The lapd didn't see any evidence.
- Narrator: However, tucker decided
To keep sharing her story.
- She went and started a blogging site
And made allegations.
- Mig: She posted it all over social media
And gained a lot of attention for that.
She started a coalition at her school called scar,
Student coalition against rape.
And you know, she wanted to raise awareness
About campus rapes.
Ultimately, a libel suit was filed against her.
I think she had to take down the original blog post,
And she wasn't allowed to mention him by name anywhere.
They settled it out of court,
And then she moved back to the area
And worked as a reporter for a little while,
Um, in grands pass.
- Narrator: In between gigs, tucker often retreated
To the family ranch, where her uncle shane lived
With roommates carlton olison and stacie mackenzie,
While he continued to care for his 87-year old mother,
Now a widow.
- Stacie: He took care of the property.
He took care of his mom.
He did all the shopping for his mom twice a week.
Took her to her doctor's appointments, everything.
- Narrator: As time passed, the sibling rivalry
Between shane and kelly began to resurface.
- There was always a fight going on between kelly and shane.
- Gabe: Kelly had decided to use her mother's property
To make some money.
Shane had a large portion of it.
He didn't want it logged because he didn't want
The property being devalued by taking all the trees down.
- Randy: I'm just thinking to myself,
Why would you, you know, you guys are brother and sister,
Why would you guys be arguing like this?
- Narrator: And on July 26th,
Tensions at the moore family ranch
Have come to a head as first responders rush
To shane's lifeless body.
- Gabe: It's their job to find all of the people
At the scene and separate them and hold them
Until the detectives arrived.
- Narrator: Tragically, efforts to save shane's life
Are unsuccessful.
- Gabe: The ems had pronounced shane,
Uh, deceased at the scene.
- Narrator: As investigators
With the jackson county sheriff's office arrive
Behind first responders,
They find shane moore dead and four potential killers.
- Gabe: We don't have a clear indication
Of who is the suspect.
Anybody that is able to be put in handcuffs,
Will go into handcuffs.
- Narrator: Coming up: Detectives track down
A fifth suspect who has fled the scene.
- The notary was not on scene. She had left.
- Narrator: And a rift in the family takes shape.
- Carla tryber: She was wrestling with the door
And saying, you know,
"he's trying to come in, he's trying to come in."
- ♪
- Narrator: July 26th, 2016. Applegate, oregon.
Surrounded by several members of his family,
Shane moore lies dead from a gunshot wound
On his family ranch.
And there's no shortage of potential suspects.
- Gabe: The people that we identified as being there
During the incident were shane moore,
Tucker moore-reed, kelly moore, lore moore,
Kelly and shane's mother.
Carlton olison was there, he's shane's roommate.
They live together in the separate residence
On the property.
- Narrator: However, the woman who made
The initial call to 911 is nowhere to be found.
- Carla tryber, the notary, was not on scene, she had left.
- Narrator: While deputies fan out in search of carla,
Investigators begin processing the scene,
Starting with shane's body.
- Gabe: There was a single hole in his shirt,
In the upper chest area.
And then as the medical examiner removed his shirt,
A single bullet entrance hole in the sternum area.
- Narrator: Investigators must wait for a search warrant
To get a look inside the house for further evidence.
- Gabe: The residence had been taped up
With caution tape to prevent any entry and exit
To the crime scene prior to a search warrant being executed.
- Narrator: While they wait, investigators get word
That the notary, carla tryber, has been found.
When investigators speak to the shaken witness,
Carla explains she was summoned to the ranch
To assist siblings shane and kelly moore
With a property transfer from their elderly mother.
- Gabe: What carla told us during the interview
Was that she had received a-a call from shane moore
To come up to the residence and get a quitclaim deed signed,
Splitting the property 50-50 between he and kelly.
- Narrator: When carla arrived,
She found shane's mother, sister, niece,
And a roommate named carlton, but no shane.
- Carla: When the door opened,
Kelly moore was um, yelling the whole time.
You know, "what do you want, what do you need?"
It was just one right after another.
And uh, we went over to the table,
She wanted me to sit right in one certain space.
I hadn't really seen the papers. So um, I picked them up
To explain what it was and to read over them.
- Narrator: Carla says that's when the chaos began.
- Narrator: That's when carla spotted shane on the front porch
Watching through a window.
- Carla: And she says, "oh, that's just my brother."
So, when he got to the front,
Kelly got up from the table, and went over to the door.
- Narrator: Moments later, carla heard shane's sister
And a young woman confront shane at a door
Just out of sight.
- Carla: She's wrestling with the door and saying,
You know, "he's trying to come in,
He's trying to come in."
- At that point, I was really, really scared.
I remember, I just started talking, you know,
To grandma, because I just- I didn't know what to do.
- Narrator: When carla finally realized shane had been shot,
She scrambled to contact authorities.
- She really needed to leave, like immediately,
And that's the reason why she passed the phone off
To just anybody that could take it during the 911 call,
And got out of there.
- Narrator: Though carla didn't see the shooting firsthand,
She does know who wasn't on the porch during the scuffle.
- Gabe: She had told us carlton was not involved,
That it was kelly and tucker and shane.
And so they were taken down for a formal interview.
The rest of the witnesses were not determined to be
Either persons of interest or suspects at the time.
- Narrator: When investigators sit down with shane's sister,
59-year old kelly moore,
She is eager to tell detectives
That shane was a bad seed.
- Lucy: When kelly was interviewed by the detectives
With the medford police department,
She talked about how shane lived out at the property,
How she believed he was using drugs out there.
- Narrator: Kelly says she and her daughter tucker
Were staying at the ranch with her mom
Because of her brother's dangerous behavior.
- Narrator: But according to kelly,
Shane took their presence as a threat.
Kelly explains that nine months ago,
The tension came to a head.
- Gabe: September of 2015,
Shane was getting ready to leave the residence,
And tucker said something.
I think she cursed at him or something similar to that.
So, shane picked up a plastic quart of oil,
And threw it back towards the front door,
Which was closed, but it was just the screen,
And it-it went through the screen
And hit her in the face.
- There was a criminal case and uh, shane,
He ended up getting charged with fourth-degree assault,
And the court issues a no-contact order.
- Narrator: Kelly claims
The move only further infuriated shane,
And the threats escalated.
- Narrator: Knowing shane's biggest fear
Was to lose his share of the inheritance,
Kelly harkened back to her days as an attorney,
And came up with what she hoped would be a solution.
- Narrator: So, when kelly realized shane had asked
The notary to prepare a grant deed to ensure
The property was split equally between them
Instead of a will, she was furious.
- Lucy: A no-contact order was in place
On the date of this incident which would prohibit
Shane from having contact with tucker.
- Narrator: Though investigators feel a confession
Might be on the horizon,
The interview takes an unexpected turn.
- Narrator: Coming up,
A final witness tells a harrowing tale.
- Narrator: And a chilling call from shane
Just hours before his death resurfaces.
- Nick morgan: It's debatable whether it was self-defense,
Whether this was something more sinister.
- ♪
- Narrator: Just hours after the mysterious murder
Of 63-year-old shane moore,
Investigators in jackson county are at a stalemate
With shane's sister, 59-year-old kelly moore.
- "that was the end of my statement," is, I think,
What she said, "that's the end of my statement."
- Narrator: Detectives hope kelly's daughter tucker
Will be more forthcoming.
- Gabe: Tucker brought up the incident
With, um, her and her uncle shane.
Tucker was, "yeah, he purposely threw it
"at my face through the door, knowing I was standing
Back there."
- Lucy: That case was filed as an assault
For constituting domestic violence and harassment.
And when a- when a case is charged with those charges,
There's a no-contact order that goes into place.
- Narrator: But even with a no-contact order in place,
Tucker claims shane continued to threaten her.
- Narrator: Although eager to express her fear,
Tucker is less keen to talk about what happened
On the ranch just a few hours earlier.
- Gabe: She didn't like being pressed
For specific information.
If it was broad, she would answer it, no problem.
Uh, but the details are where
She would get hinked up a little bit,
And not want to answer.
- Narrator: Feeling the pressure,
Tucker slowly begins to talk.
- Narrator: Tucker says she gave the gun to her mother.
- It was staged there, just in case
Something needed to be done to protect the residents.
- Narrator: Sure enough, tucker claims trouble
Started brewing when she spotted shane
Outside the window watching as her mother tore up the deed.
- Narrator: Tucker says that's when she grabbed the gun
From under the napkin.
- Gabe: She described him pushing the door
To the residence with his shoulder,
And reaching around the back of the door
Like from a horror movie.
- [gunshot]
- Narrator: Despite tucker's claims of self-defense,
Detectives decide to press charges.
- At this point, manslaughter was the only crime
That seemed to fit.
We had murder without intent, which is manslaughter.
- Narrator: The next morning, tucker makes bail
And investigators head to the ranch,
Armed with a search warrant.
- Gabe: We recovered the firearm from the console table
Right inside the front door.
Numerous pieces of civil paperwork
Regarding the, uh, the incident.
We found the one that was ripped into four pieces
That kelly had torn.
- Narrator: Upon closer examination,
The murder weapon reveals compelling evidence.
- Gabe: So, you open the cylinder,
And it showed that one round had been fired.
So what that means, if the same gun had been
Fired earlier in the day, which tucker had told us
That it was the same gun.
Somebody had had to taken the time to pull
That spent casing out from the earlier firing
And reload it so it's ready with a full cylinder
Of rounds for later on.
So, was it premeditated?
- Narrator: Suddenly, tucker's claims of self-defense
Don't seem so clear cut.
- It's debatable whether, you know,
Obviously whether it was self-defense,
Whether this was something more sinister.
- Narrator: As investigators wrap up at the ranch,
They learn that before the notary called 911,
There was another call for help at 1:40 p.M.
From the moore homestead.
- Nick: Shane moore had reported that tucker reed
Had fired a gun on the property that day.
- Gabe: Shane was under the impression that-that, um,
His niece, tucker, was doing this to try and scare him.
- Narrator: But the jackson county sheriff
Never responded to shane's request.
- Unfortunately, we don't get involved in civil cases.
That's not our job.
And so for those reasons, we don't go out there.
- Narrator: Between the fully loaded gun
And shane's call for help,
Investigators have even more doubts
About tucker and kelly's claims of self-defense.
- Gabe: The only people involved that talked to us
Were kelly and tucker, who were claiming self-defense.
We didn't have anything to clearly refute their story,
Nobody else saw what had happened there.
We needed shane's story, but we weren't gonna get it.
- Narrator: After five days of no solid leads,
On August 1st, detectives receive a call
From shane's roommate, stacie mackenzie,
That might shed some light on shane's perspective.
- Gabe: She did not want to talk to us that day
Because she had an outstanding warrant for her arrest.
She kind of disappeared from the scene the day of.
And I guess she had some good information.
- Narrator: Once at the station,
Stacie tells them that it was shane who was scared
For his life that day, not tucker and kelly.
- Stacie: They were not afraid.
They were not afraid of shane at all.
Shane was afraid of them.
Shane actually told me the day that he died,
He goes, "I'm afraid for my life, stacie."
Goes, "I'm afraid somebody's gonna kill me.
One of them are going to kill me."
- Narrator: Coming up, family secrets are revealed.
- She would take whatever she could get from anybody.
She always had her hand out.
- Narrator: And detectives get
An unbelievable firsthand look at shane's final moments.
- ♪
- Narrator: Five days after
26-year-old tucker moore-reed shot her uncle, shane moore,
His roommate, stacie mackenzie, has come forward
With new information regarding shane's sister, kelly.
- Stacie: Kelly is the greediest person that I know.
That I've ever known in my whole life.
They used to fight like cats and dogs, horribly.
Money, always money.
His sister always had this dire need
For lots and lots of money,
And she would take whatever she could get from anybody.
- Gabe: Kelly hadn't worked since, I don't know,
The late '90s, according to family members,
And was living off of her parents at the time.
- Narrator: According to stacie,
Kelly believed shane's full-time caretaking
Of their aging mother was a ruse
To move in on their inheritance.
- She made multiple statements over,
Over years, periods of time,
That shane wasn't going to get anything.
- Randy: The property was supposed to be worth
Somewhere between two and three million dollars.
- Narrator: Stacie explains shane decided
That as soon as his mother died,
He was leaving kelly and the ranch behind.
In an effort to prevent any disputes over her will
Down the road, he'd asked his mother
To help him settle the matter now.
- Stacie: If mom passed away, then he would be able
To cash in the quick claim deed and get his money
And just leave and not have any problems whatsoever,
And that's what he wanted.
And his mom was like in total compliance with that.
She was like, "yeah, that's not a problem, shane."
- Narrator: On the afternoon of July 26th,
When the signing was to take place,
Shane left their house to head down to his mother's.
Not long after, stacie heard the screams.
- Stacie: I was yelling and screaming at tucker.
Screaming at her to get the hell away from him,
Because she was standing over the top of him
With the gun in her hand.
And she was yelling at him, "just die."
The next thing I heard was kelly screaming out the door,
"what do you mean he's not dead yet?"
And there was blood coming out of his nose and his mouth.
And I didn't know where the blood was coming from.
- Narrator: Stacie believes that when tucker and kelly
Stashed the gun in the kitchen that day,
They did so with one thing in mind:
- Stacie: I knew the truth, and it wasn't manslaughter.
It was murder.
It was cold-blooded, calculated murder.
- Narrator: Over the next few weeks,
Investigators reach out to other family members
To build their case against tucker.
- Gabe: I spoke to ryan moore,
Shane and kelly's brother,
Who lives somewhere in northern california.
He said that there's, I think, four or five siblings, total.
And he said kelly and shane haven't gotten along
For a long time.
It was kelly's doing, not shane's, their falling out.
That she was just very manipulative and arrogant.
- Narrator: Ryan admits that shane didn't have a job either,
But he at least earned his keep.
- Narrator: According to ryan,
His brother has always been a gentle soul.
- Narrator: However,
Ryan says he has plenty of stories to tell
About his sister kelly's temper.
- Gabe: Ryan said he cut ties with kelly
Years ago after, uh, a family reunion.
Ryan confronted kelly about mooching off of her parents,
And uh, financially. And kelly had, had taken offense
To that and went after ryan with a fireplace poker.
- Narrator: As for tucker,
Ryan says the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
- Narrator: Following the interviews with ryan and stacie,
Investigators suspect the story tucker and kelly
Are spinning isn't the whole truth,
But they need to prove it.
Finally, after six months
Of little traction in the investigation,
Detectives get a break from an unlikely source,
Tucker.
- Gabe: This is coming from the da's office,
Who is speaking with her defense attorney.
There's a video from her cell phone
From that day, of the incident.
- Narrator: Tucker's attorney claims the video will prove
That tucker acted in self-defense.
- The, the da who's assigned to the case calls me and says,
"hey, you gotta come watch the video."
- Gabe: She's narrating, she's saying,
"see this man, shane, he's aggressive and dangerous."
- Gabe: He's just standing there, doing nothing.
Wearing flip-flops in a tank top and a hat.
He's not doing anything aggressive.
- Gabe: Kelly runs over to the front door, screaming.
And then tucker goes to the table and picks up a gun
That's under a napkin that's sitting on the table.
And runs over to the front door.
- Gabe: I mean, we watch it,
And it's not proving their case,
It's proving our case.
- Narrator: Coming up,
Tucker's talents go on display.
- Gabe: When she first bailed out,
She decided that she was going to act in this movie,
From the dark.
They told us, "in our movie, she shoots somebody."
- Matthew spickard: When she shoots this character,
She absolutely believes she's doing it
Out of self-defense.
- ♪
- Narrator: After watching the shocking cell phone footage
Of shane moore's death,
Police in jackson county are ready to charge
Shane's niece, tucker moore-reed,
With first-degree murder.
- Gabe: Essentially, this is what we needed.
I mean, all the self-defense claims got thrown out the door
As soon as the video came to us,
So it did the opposite of what the defense
Was hoping that it would do.
- Narrator: But the wheels of justice turn slowly.
- Gabe: I talked to the da, and he's like,
"nah, we're staying with manslaughter."
Something came up where we had to
Take it back through grand jury anyways,
To change some verbiage in the manslaughter statute
That needed to be added.
It was about a year before we had the murder indictment
Reached by the grand jury after the video had surfaced.
- Narrator: On September 4th, 2018,
Jackson county investigators arrest
28-year-old tucker moore-reed again.
This time, upgrading the charges against her
From manslaughter to murder,
In the 2016 shooting death of her uncle, shane moore.
Following the arrest, tucker appears before a judge
For her bail hearing.
- Gabe: She decided there would be no bail,
That's when tucker lost her mind.
I mean, I was sitting two feet away from her,
And it was, it was loud.
- Even in another room, you know, even a room away,
You-you could still hear these intense wailing.
It, it was something that was just chilling at the time.
- Narrator: Following the hearing,
Investigators are approached by a local filmmaker,
Matthew spickard.
He tells them that while tucker was out on bail last year,
He cast her in a film.
- Gabe: When she first bailed out,
She decided that she was going to act in this movie,
"from the dark," that was filmed in josephine county.
They had wrapped up their filming by the time
We got the murder indictment and arrested her
On that charge later on.
- Narrator: Matthew and his daughter trinity,
A writer on the film, describe their first meeting
With tucker as she auditioned for the horror flick.
- Before shooting began,
We held an open casting call on facebook,
And that's where we met tucker,
Who was going by the name wyn reed at the time.
She did stand out right away as someone
That looked like could fit the role, um, the right age.
- Trinity spickard: I was very impressed with her.
We were like, "oh yes, we have this wonderful,
"talented girl who's gonna really take our movie
To this next level."
- Narrator: Matthew says that when he learned
Of the murder charge,
He immediately reached out to police.
- They told us, "in our movie, she shoots somebody."
So we requested the director's cut of the movie,
For evidence to review and, and look.
- Narrator: Investigators focus on one scene in particular.
Following a party, tucker's character
Finds herself armed and in the dark.
- Trinity: It's a very intense atmosphere.
There's lots of fear.
There's lots of panic and confusion.
- Matthew: The scene is her holding up a cell phone
For a flashlight and a gun, you know.
And then the guy comes out, basically, from this doorway
Of this other room, trying to like, talk her down
And say, you know, "give me the gun,"
And she just, out of her fear of the whole situation,
Shoots him.
Basically, when she shoots this character,
She absolutely believes she's doing it
Out of self-defense because of the situation.
But, when you see the movie,
You'll see that, oh, that is technically murder.
- Stacie: She played the lead role in a horror movie,
Wonder why she was so good at the role?
- Narrator: The scene's similarities with real life
Are both uncanny and unnerving.
- It's very bizarre,
It's something you couldn't make up.
- Narrator: But anyone eager to see
Tucker's next performance at her trial has to wait.
- Lucy: Over the course of the case,
Ms. Moore-reed had multiple attorneys
And so when a new attorney would sign on to the case,
Or file a notice of appearance, they of course had to be
Brought up to speed before any trial dates could get set.
- Carla: I did call the district attorney a few times,
You know, asking why is it taking, you know, so long,
What's going on, you know, what's the update?
And it was always, you know,
"well, she's getting another attorney,
Well, she's got a different attorney."
- Narrator: In the meantime,
Prosecutors worry tucker's continued claims
Of self-defense will be a difficult hurdle
To overcome during trial.
- The das were under the assumption that
There would at least be one juror,
Every single time, that would, would vote not guilty,
Possibly deciding: This sounds like it was self-defense.
- Narrator: By may 2020,
Nearly four years after the murder,
30-year-old tucker finally settles on an attorney,
And soon reaches a deal with prosecutors.
- Gabe: Tucker ended up with 75 months
For a plea deal associated with a manslaughter
In the second-degree crime.
That is what they settled on, with credit for time served.
So, essentially, that means she'll get released
In just a few years.
We didn't want to have to retry this over and over again
If the jury were not to come to a conclusion unanimously,
Either all guilty or all not guilty.
- I was just floored when they gave her six years.
It's nowhere near enough.
- Narrator: Those close to the case receive another blow
When no charges are brought against tucker's mother,
Kelly moore.
- There was no evidence of conspiracy,
Even though the thoughts were always
In the back of our minds.
- Stacie: There's a lot that I was never able to understand.
I've never known anybody to be so loving and caring
And giving as shane,
And to be treated the way that he was by his own family.
I just don't know. Just greed.
That's what it comes down to, is greed.
