The Frozen Poker Chip That Cracked a 29-Year Murder Mystery

Cold fear: a red casino-weight poker chip sat on a four-inch window ledge above a utility sink while a man lay face-down twenty-nine feet away with forty-three dollars still in his pocket. No fingerprints, no casino name, and a single strand of biological material under the victim's fingernails that would sit in an evidence freezer for twenty-nine years - who left the chip and why was he in that restroom that night?
In this episode, we follow the documented trail from the morning Ralph Moore was found on November 9, 1991 to the decades-long investigation that never stopped collecting details and waiting for new science. What finally connected a frozen chip and a long-buried DNA profile to a family tree no one had considered?
Person: Ralph Moore
Date: November 9, 1991
Location: Crestline County Park men's restroom, Crestline County, Ohio
Status: Homicide; blunt force trauma to the back of the skull; time of death between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. November 8, 1991
Investigator: Detective Frank Sorrel
- A red casino-weight poker chip stamped with a crown was found on a four-inch window ledge above a utility sink with no fingerprints and no casino name.
- Ralph Moore, age 32, was found face-down with his wallet holding $43 and keys still clipped to his belt loop; nothing had been taken.
- Maintenance worker Carl Pruett discovered the body around 7:15 a.m. during a winterization check and found the restroom door propped open with a cinder block that had been placed from the inside.
- A witness, Susan Pratt, saw an unmarked white van with its side door open and a toolbox visible at approximately 9:15 p.m., which was gone about twenty-five minutes later; she did not see a license plate.
- Investigator Frank Sorrel documented a partial size 11 contractor-style boot print near the utility sink while Ralph wore size 9, and trace biological material under Ralph's fingernails produced a DNA profile that initially matched no one.
