13 years after Paige Moore's disappearance, Broken Arrow Police now call case a homicide

More than a decade after Paige Moore disappeared from her home, Broken Arrow Police have reclassified the case as a homicide investigation.

Moore was reported missing by her parents 13 years ago on July 10, 2012. According to police, she was last thought to be at her home in the 1100 block of North Ironwood Avenue sometime between 1:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.

Investigators say when Moore went missing, things were suspicious from the start. There were rumors and questionable stories, but police didn't have any solid evidence.

Investigators have spent years searching for Moore, but have been unsuccessful. The case went cold, until last year when someone saw a post about Moore on social media and called police with a tip.

"This tip led us to an individual who could have been involved in the case, then we decided to reopen the case and re interview everyone that was involved in the case from the beginning," said Detective Leon Rademacher with Broken Arrow Police.

Over the last year, detectives said they interviewed more than 70 people, including possible suspects. BAPD said these interviews led to new information, which led them believe Moore's death was a homicide.

"A lot of these kids involved back then were high school age, rumors fly. So, there were all sorts of different stories coming in and you didn't know what was just a high school rumor and what was legitimate information," said Rademacher.

Police say the believe Moore was killed in Broken Arrow shortly after she went missing, but police have not revealed how she was killed. Investigators have searched several locations but have yet to find her remains.

Police are also searching for a 2002 dark green Chevrolet Tracker that may have been used in the crime. The vehicle's Oklahoma license plate was 931KSW, and the last four digits of its VIN are 1305. It was last registered in 2016 and may be abandoned somewhere in the Tulsa area.

The current listed owner told investigators he sold the vehicle to a man named "Ramon," but was unable to provide more details.

“We believe there are still individuals who hold key details that could help us locate the vehicle, uncover the whereabouts of Paige Moore’s remains, and identify those responsible for her death,” the department said in a statement.

Rademacher says he's glad they are finally able to give Paige's parents some answers.

"Obviously they are happy we are closing in on this and getting closer to figuring out what happened, but it's still very difficult for them," said Rademacher.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Broken Arrow Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
