So Larry Alley is putting himself at the scene of the crime at the time of death. Investigators were in high gear for the Moore case. There were several witnesses who spotted strangers near the house that day. There's a blue van, a gray or silver car in the driveway, a kid in a windbreaker in a nearby field, and of course, the man in the glasses and blue backpack walking past the Moore house.

John Philpin says this man in the backpack was found. He was interrogated and ruled out for the Moore homicide. And in the ensuing weeks, it seems like the Vermont State Police polygraphed the entire male population of Westminster and Bellows Falls. And during this blitzkrieg of polygraphs, Mike LeClaire brought in Larry Alley. According to Mike, Alley abjectly failed his polygraph.

Though polygraphs are notoriously unreliable and not admissible in court, this made Mike's heckles go up. He wanted to bring Allie in again for a follow-up interview. But Mike says that it was at this point that he was transferred off the Moore case. taken completely out of major crimes, and given a promotion.

The new lead investigators were hell-bent on pinning Linda's murder on her husband, Steve. They launched two inquests into Steve Moore over the next few years, made him take at least two polygraph examinations, which he passed, destroyed the man's reputation, and made a grieving family suffer endlessly for decades. "'How absurd,' said Steve in 1990." What a crock of shit.

If they just look at the simple fact, look at nothing else but the fact that I was with five other people in one spot and was not here at the time when my wife was killed, that ought to end the story. Now let's go out and find who did it. But that hasn't been these guys' attitude. So finally I got to the point and I told them to go fuck themselves. End quote. I don't blame them.

Mike LeClaire told me that Larry Alley was at the top of his list of suspects, and he tried to get the new investigators to do some more background on him, but they were more focused on Steve. I'm not sure how top of Mike's list Alley actually was, as he interviewed him the day of the murder, and I think got transferred in 89 or 90. That's at least three or four years after the murder.

But as far as I know, all investigation into Larry Alley ended there. So I decided to follow up and do that background research. I always thought that if the right suspect came up in one case, then the pieces would slip easily into place for other cases. We saw this play out with my investigation into Barry Martin. The suspicion was rightly there, I believe, but none of the pieces really fit.

This is what happened when I looked into Larry Alley. In 1974, the Alleys moved into a home in Swansea, New Hampshire. Does Swansea sound familiar? It should. I had to call Jane Borowski, the only survivor of the Connecticut River Valley Killer.

I gave Jane the rundown on Alley's connection to the Linda Moore case. I found Guy, and he... Okay, Jane. He had a house one minute drive away from Gamarla's door.
