"She didn't just pull the trigger. She recorded the entire shooting on her phone—then used the footage to audition for a horror movie where her character commits an eerily similar murder."
In this chilling true crime episode, we investigate the case of Aisling "Tucker" Moore-Reed, a 30-year-old actress and blogger who shot her uncle Shane Moore dead on July 26, 2016, at her grandmother's home in Jackson County, Oregon [citation:1][citation:7].
The shooting stemmed from a bitter family dispute over a property deed. As a notary public looked on, Moore-Reed's mother, Kelly, ripped up legal documents, triggering a confrontation with Shane at the front door [citation:7]. Cell phone footage—recorded by Moore-Reed herself—captured her yelling "You son of a b*tch! Get out of here!" before firing a single fatal shot from just inside the doorway [citation:1].
She initially claimed self-defense, citing a prior restraining order against her uncle. But the video told a different story. Prosecutors noted she sounded "angry that he wasn't dead" and that she had reloaded the gun after firing a test shot earlier that morning [citation:1][citation:7].
Remarkably, while out on bail, Moore-Reed landed the lead role in the indie horror film *From the Dark* under the pseudonym Wyn Reed—playing a woman who kills in self-defense. The film's directors had no idea about her charges [citation:3]. The day after filming wrapped in 2018, her charges were upgraded to murder, and she was rearrested [citation:3].
In May 2020, she pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 75 months (6 years, 3 months) in prison [citation:2][citation:7]. Listener discretion advised.
