New technology has helped Broward County Sheriff's detectives identify the remains of a woman found murdered in Pompano Beach nearly 25 years ago. Her name is Tina Moore.
While trying to generate new leads in the cold case, detectives resubmitted the woman's fingerprints to the FBI. Through an advanced fingerprint identification process, the victim's name emerged.
Moore's body was found in September of 1983 in a wooded area in the 1900 block of NE 5th Avenue in Pompano Beach. Detectives believe the 22-year-old Moore may have been a dancer at an area strip club. At the time of her death, Moore was wearing three small silver earrings, a three-leaf clover in her right ear and a horseshoe and mushroom in her left. Moore also had a homemade tattoo of a bunny head on her abdomen.
Tina Moore was never reported missing, and no one ever came forward to identify her.
Now that she's been positively identified, BSO investigators are eager to solve this case. Anyone with information on Moore, her murder, her activities, her associates or her family should call Broward Crime Stoppers at (954) 493-TIPS or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.
