[2][3] On June 5, 1992, Moore shot Thomas Lauri four times in the face with a 9 mm pistol in front of a Salem post office.

He then drove to Barbara Cunningham's house, shot her in the abdomen, and then fired three more rounds into her head.

Moore said he had killed them because he thought they would move to Las Vegas with his estranged wife and baby daughter and expose them to a life of prostitution and drugs.

[6] Just prior to the execution, Moore asked the warden if he could borrow the keys to the prison, promising to "bring them right back."

[7] He remains the second of only two people to be executed in Oregon since the resumption of the death penalty.
