another victim
Authorities still don’t know what motivated Moore to do what he did.
It is also not known why the body of Misty Brockman, a 40-year-old woman, appeared next to the body of the alleged killer.
Local media in Kansas City interviewed Isaac Crane, one of the woman’s five children, after the family announced it was launching a fundraiser to pay for funeral services.
“I don’t want this to be seen as just another thing that happened. I hope he is remembered for his successes and not for his tragedy,” he told local television station KCTV5.

Camila Behrensen studied at the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa.
Camila, born in Buenos Aires, studied biotechnology in Argentina and came to the US on a scholarship. At the time of the murder, he was studying metabolic changes in fruit flies.
Several studies have focused on analyzing the rapid metabolic changes of these animals to better understand sugar processing.
We will be left wondering if Camila could have helped with the diabetes treatment.

Pablo Guzmán studied at the Catholic University of Chile.
We also won’t know if Pablo Guzmán was the one who managed to decipher the secret of how starfish regenerate their nervous system, something that could have helped millions of people with spinal cord or brain damage.
Pablo was from Santiago de Chile and studied biochemistry in his country. When he was killed, he was researching the development of the nervous system of starfish.
Unfortunately, we will remain without knowledge of everything that these two promises of science could have contributed to humanity with their talent.
