The Brief

A Yelm couple is charged with attempted kidnapping, attempted child molestation, and multiple counts of possessing child sexual abuse material.

Investigators say a CyberTip to law enforcement led them to a shared Google account where hundreds of exploitative images and videos were uploaded; a search of the couple’s Yelm home uncovered handwritten notes describing how to abduct a child, prescription sedatives not prescribed to them, and a hidden compartment containing illegal materials.

Court documents allege the couple had discussed targeting families and even traveled to Wisconsin to locate a family Moore was reportedly obsessed with; both suspects remain in custody on $2.5 million bail each as prosecutors continue to review additional digital evidence.
