A grand jury today indicted Micah Moore for first-degree murder in the death of Bethany Ann Deaton, the wife of his spiritual leader.
The indictment supersedes a previous charge of murder filed by the Jackson County prosecutor’s office.
Moore, 23, is currently free on a $250,000 cash bond.
According to court documents, Moore allegedly told a detective 10 days after Deaton’s body was found Oct. 30 inside a van at Longview Lake that he had killed her. The death had up to then been considered a suicide.
