Suspected killer found dead
HAYDEN — Police are reporting that at about 8:30 this morning, the body of murder suspect Chad Lee Moore was found in the Hayden Creek area. According to those reports, Moore died from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. His body was discovered about 100 yards from the burned out remains of his pickup truck.
Moore was the subject of a massive search through last night that included a police helicopter after he was named as the suspect in the shooting death of 28-year-old Ryan William Taylor of Coeur d'Alene. Just before 3 p.m. Tuesday, witnesses said they heard up to four gunshots in the Lakeview Village Apartments off Government Way in Hayden, where Taylor's body was found.
