On January 28th, 1986, Sgt. Floyd Moore Jr. was the second in command of the Bay County Florida Sheriff Office Special Investigation Unit. Still dressed in his police uniform, he was at his second job providing security at an apartment complex in Panama city when he radioed for a marked car to come to the building. When a unit arrived they found Floyd lying dead in the parking lot. It turned out that he had been shot in the head with his own gun. Investigators interviewed the resident's of the apartment building, but no one reported seeing anything suspicious. The investigation of the crime scene didn't turn up anything either. It wasn't until the medical examiner took a look in Floyd's breast pocket that a significant clue was found. The driver's license belonging to 37 year old Walter Grant Kyser was inside. Investigators surmised that Floyd approached Walter in the parking lot after he had caught him stealing and questioned him. When Floyd turned away to check the suspect's identification information, the suspect shot Sergeant Moore. Floyd was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
