PORTAGE, OH – On Friday, December 17, 2021, Robert Lindsey Moore, 51, was arrested in Alliance by members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Fugitive Task Force. He was taken in on charges of aggravated murder, murder, and repeat violent offender charges for the death of Glenna Jean White. Glenna was last seen on June 2, 2009 and would have been 17 at the time.
Robert Lindsey Moore was the last person to see White when she was alive. Relatives saw Moore approximately an hour after it was believed that Glenna was alive. When they saw him, he was covered in blood with bloodied knuckles. Moore’s body was also coated in mud.
In 1993 Moore was convicted of manslaughter in Stark County for the death of Virginia Lecorchick, 22, who was beaten to death. Lecorchick’s body was found by swimmers in Berlin Lake on July 10, 1993 at Willow Point Beach in Lexington Township. Stark County Court documents show that after being arrested, Moore was charged with murder but convicted of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison.
Stagnant for years, the case was reopened in March of 2020 after Detective Ed Kennedy of the Portage County Sheriff’s Office Drug & Violent Crime Unit received a tip while working on an unrelated matter. Detective Kennedy was recognized for being able to secure enough evidence to secure an indictment. We’d like to thank all parties involved for their dedication and effort to see this case through and secure an indictment.
