The Murder of Alicia Moore (Episode 206)

·1 hr 4 min·4 clips

Michael Vincent Moore was arrested for capital murder in March 2013 and was held.

The episode starts conversationally. The hosts settle into a loose back-and-forth that makes the story feel like it is being worked through as they go. They quickly move into the case around a 16-year-old girl and Terry Ramsar. The account centers on the harm, the arrest that followed, and the sense that he had too much access to her for too long. Nothing is brushed aside. One host keeps the timeline moving while the other presses on the gaps and the parts that do not add up. The tone stays warm even as the details turn grim. The show keeps the victim at the center instead of letting the story disappear into procedure. The hosts get blunt about Ramsar. They react hard to the arrest, the bond set at $70,000, and the fact that he remained in jail until trial because he could not make bond. The legal part matters. The episode follows the not-guilty plea, the competency request, and the argument that Ramsar had lymphoma, limited intelligence, a mental defect, or a mental illness that supposedly affected his understanding of his rights. That claim is met with open skepticism. The hosts do not soften their reactions when the conversation turns to the defense’s explanation or the suggestion that the confession should be thrown out. The chronology stays rooted in the case. The episode notes that in March 2013, the 50-year-old was deemed incompetent to stand trial. The conversation keeps circling back to access. The hosts repeatedly question how someone could have been around the girl several times without intervention. The pacing is brisk. It moves fast enough to stay engaging, but it still leaves room for side comments, laughter, and disbelief to land. That texture helps. The result feels like a researched account told at a kitchen table, with anger and concern sitting side by side. The show does not pretend neutrality. It leans into victim advocacy and says plainly when something sounds off. By the end, the case feels less like a headline and more like a warning. The listener is left with a story about access, harm, bond, and the complications of the legal process. The final impression is steady and unsparing. It is a true crime episode that wants you to remember the victim first and keep the accused in the frame only as the person under scrutiny.

As heard by us

A blunt case conversation that keeps the person harmed ahead of the noise.

The episode treats the case as more than a headline, staying with the murder, the arrest, and the awkward question of how one person had so much access. It keeps the person harmed in view and moves fast enough that the legal turns feel immediate rather than abstract.
