Hope Ann Moore Was Turning Her Life Around When She Disappeared.

Hope Ann Moore was born on January 3rd, 1967. She had a troubled past but was trying to change for her two sons.

In April, 1999, 32-year-old Hope was living with her boyfriend Clint Kent, and his older brother, Scott "Scotty" Kent on the 1600 block of Channelview Drive in Galveston, Texas.

Hope had been with Clint for four years and they had a son, but she was still legally married to another man whom she also had a son with. Clint was legally separated from his wife, but not divorced. Allegedly, Hope was also secretly seeing another man. And allegedly, after Scott joined the household, Hope had problems with him and claimed he'd tried to rape her.

Hope had a steady job at at the Bob Pagan Ford dealership and gotten a raise. She was a hard worker as well as passing every random drug test.

On the 26th, Hope didn't show up for work. Her boss thought this was odd because she had never done that before. The next day Clint showed up at the dealership, handed in Hope's keys and informed them that she wouldn't be back. The next day Hope's boss called police and reported her missing.

Clint said he was visiting his parents out of town on the day Hope disappeared. He claimed that he tampered with her brand-new truck before he left, because he didn't want her to be able to leave home. Clint refused to take a lie-detector test.

Scott claimed that Hope had came home on the 25th, in a pickup truck, packed some clothes and her checkbook, and left in an older model, dirty, beat-up Chevrolet Impala. 

Both Clint and Scott are considered possible suspects in Hope's disappearance. Scott had pawned two of Hope's gold rings eight days after her disappearance, and allegedly forged a check on her bank account for $345.52, which was the exact balance of the account. 

Hope has never been seen again and there has been no activity on her social security card.

Hope's eldest son was eleven years old at the time of her disappearance. She had sent him to stay at a children's home a few weeks before she went missing. Clint later told Hope's son that she'd abandoned the family. He now believes his mother met with foul play.

Authorities have always suspected Clint and Scott in Hope's disappearance and so has a private investigator.

At the time of her disappearance Hope was 5'0 - 5'1, 145 - 155 pounds with blonde hair and green eyes. She had scars on her left knee, between her eyebrows, and on her right elbow, as well as a burn near her right thumb.

She might have been wearing blue floral-print shorts and possibly garnet earrings, a rope necklace, and rings on all her fingers when she disappeared.

Hope would be 54 years old if she is still alive.
