Kaelin Moore

After his release, he was 28 years old and he moved to Ferguson, where he made an impression amongst his neighbors as being quiet and polite.

People described him as being this really polite neighbor.

But he was still living with this addiction that he had.

And in February of 1998, when he was 32 years old, he went back to jail, this time for possession and for violating his parole.

And that December, he was released into a rehab program where he stayed until May of 1999.

Afterwards, Mori worked various restaurant jobs.

He started being very vocal as well about hating drug use.

A co-worker remembered him saying, quote, crack and heroin were the worst thing that God put on this earth.

In the absence of drugs, he spent his time and his money on these new hobbies that he had developed.

He bought himself a 2000 black Mitsubishi Eclipse and he spent his days off working on it.

And it's around this time, too, that people started noticing a little bit more red flags about Maury.

He mentioned to a co-worker that East St.

Louis was, quote, a good place to dump things because police weren't very attentive in that area.

The conversation was about a friend's car that had been stolen.

But still, when Maury's co-worker heard this, they thought it was just a weird thing to say.

Yeah, who's dumping things?

Dumping things, like talking about a car, too.

It's, like, easy to dump things there because the police don't pay attention.

Yeah.

How would you know that?
