The murder went unsolved for nearly fourteen years. An autopsy determined that she had died of blunt force trauma and strangulation. The body of Lee was found in her Owings Mills, Maryland apartment on December 13, 1999, by a maintenance worker. Lee's employer grew concerned when she did not show up for work or answer her phone and she was reported missing to the police. Lee was last seen alive on December 10, 1999, in a parking lot outside her apartment after she was dropped off home by her employer. The second known victim of Moore's was 27-year-old Annelise Hyang Suk Lee, a Korean-American woman who was murdered in 1999 in Maryland. Moore had no ties to Neal and police believe the killing was random. Authorities believe Moore had been passing through South Carolina while on his way to Louisiana and was running from the law. The DNA obtained matched Moore's and the case was officially closed in February 2020, with Moore confirmed as Neal's killer. In 2019, new DNA testing was conducted on a bedspread and some towels that had been found at the crime scene. In 2017, the case was reopened and a new investigation was launched. The murder became a cold case and went unsolved for nearly twenty-four years. Neal left behind a 4-year-old daughter, her mother, and her fiancé. Police later determined the name was an alias.
Neal's fiancé had reported her missing after she failed to return home from going to meet a man named Don Gibson. On June 2, 1996, her dead body was found strangled and hanged in a condominium in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The first murder Moore is known to have committed was of 23-year-old Shawn Marie Neal, an escort who lived in Leland, North Carolina.
