As expected, authorities questioned the 27-year-old man convicted of the August slaying of a woman on the Yelm to Tenino Trail looking for information about 36-year-old Nancy Moyer’s disappearance from her Tenino home in March 2009.
Bernard K. Howell III
Moyer, a mother of two, was reported missing on March 8, 2009 by her ex-husband who went to her house and discovered she wasn’t there.
Nothing significant came out of the interview with Bernard K. Howell III, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
“He gave us nothing, denied any involvement,” Lt. Greg Elwin said.
Moyer’s home is less than a mile from where Howell lived with his father when he was arrested last summer with a dead woman inside his pickup truck.
Detectives were prevented from talking with him about other cases until the case involving the death of Vanda Boone was finished.
Howell confessed to killing Boone and was sentenced last Thursday to more than 26 years in prison. He was interviewed about Moyer late last week.
Moyer was last seen by co-workers two days before she was reported missing. She hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
The sheriff’s office has contacted the FBI to see if they can glean anything about the type of individual who might have been involved in Moyer’s disappearance, Elwin said.
