A MANHUNT ensued for a missing woman when she suddenly vanished after celebrating her 52nd birthday.
As police discovered Emily Noble’s body, her case evolved into a homicide investigation.
Who was Emily Noble and what happened to her?
Born on May 24, 2020, Emily Noble was a murder victim from Westerville, Ohio.
The late Emily’s loved ones remember her as “trustworthy, kind, giving, adventorous, happy, and intelligent.”
On May 25, 2020, Emily’s husband Matheau Moore reported her missing when she did not return home after celebrating her birthday the previous night.
On September 16 of the same year, the 52-year-old woman’s body was discovered in a wooded area in close proximity to her and Matheau’s home.
At the time, Emily’s death evolved into a homicide investigation.
Her autopsy displayed multiple face and neck fractures consistent with strangulation.
When police discovered the crime scene, the late woman’s body was hanging from a tree with a USB cord wrapped around her neck.
On June 17, 2021, Emily’s husband Matheau was arrested in relation to his late wife’s murder.
Before he was acquitted, law enforcement believed Matheau killed Emily and staged the crime scene to make it appear she died by suicide.
He pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of felonious assault.
What was Matheau Moore’s trial verdict?
On August 26, 2022, Matheau was found not guilty of all the charges stemming from Emily’s death.

After he was acquitted, he continued to attribute his wife’s death to suicide.
“It’s a complicated issue. If you’ve ever known anybody that’s committed suicide, that story, it’s a complicated one,” he told WBNS.
” If you’re close to someone who kills themselves, I’ve been there twice, with my son and my wife, it’s a very difficult situation to be in.
“There’s no closure with Emily and me and her death, so it’s the combination of being accused of murder, at the same time dealing with that, it’s a pressure and a feeling that I can’t describe.
“Right when I was found not guilty is when I started to be able to grieve her, so that’s why probably I got emotional.
“That was her more than anything else. I could start the grief process with my wife right there, in court, when they said not guilty.”
