Fraudulent Utility Account Sparks Investigation

The investigation kicked off after a Shreveport resident discovered a utility account had been fraudulently opened in his name at an address where he had never lived. The victim only became aware of the fraud after receiving a notice demanding payment for a substantial outstanding utility balance.

Detectives quickly stepped in, discovering that the account had been established using the victim’s name, date of birth, and Social Security number.

Digital Trail Leads to Former Caregiver

As investigators dug deeper, they traced the digital footprint of the utility account—including the associated phone number, email address, and physical residence—directly back to Moore and individuals connected to her.

The breakthrough in the case came when detectives learned that Moore had previously worked as a caregiver, giving her direct access to the highly sensitive personal information of her clients. During a photo lineup conducted by police, the victim successfully identified Moore as his former caregiver.

Louisiana Revised Statute 14:67.16: Authorities developed solid evidence that Moore allegedly used the victim's information without authorization to secure utility services, leading to the formal criminal charge.
