"Who killed Greg Moore?" Asked a website created by his family and friends to clarify the death of this 53-year-old man.
Moore died when he jogged early in the morning on July 18 along a tree-lined road near his home in Maple Valley, outside of Seattle, Washington.
Now it is known who could have killed him, because he has confessed, and the website strives to be tried and convicted like any other murderer.
It will not be easy: he is
only 15 years old
.
That morning, his wife, Michelle Moore, expected him to return
"tired and sweaty"
from the race, but "feeling great and looking forward to enjoying the rest of the day," he explained in a post on the social network Facebook.
Her husband had gone out for a run at 6:30 in the morning, she says, and she left for work three hours later, but came home because she was worried about not hearing from him.
The man's family helped her search for him and they ended up at a roadside police checkpoint, where an officer told them they were investigating
the fatal hit
of a pedestrian by a runaway car.
The body of her husband was found in a ditch in front of a church, without shoes and with a broken head and marks from having been run over from behind.
"My world was turned upside down
," the woman explained in her post on social networks that August 15, asking that if anyone knew something, they should say so.
A month later, the prosecution has filed charges against a 15-year-old girl whom they accuse of taking her godmother's Toyota Camry without permission
with the intention of
having a good time.
The young woman then intentionally ran over Moore "to scare him," according to The Seattle Times.
She will be charged with second-degree murder and the crime of escaping after the hit-and-run, but will be tried as a minor, which has angered Moore's family.
The young woman and her companion in the vehicle, aged 14, later laughed when they told what happened to another teenager about the way in which Moore had
"flown over the car,"
according to the criminal charges filed this Tuesday, reports the aforementioned newspaper. .
The young woman told her godmother that the car had been
damaged with a bat
, according to the newspaper.
But the minor then turned herself in to the King County sheriff last week after her godmother reported her car was involved in the incident.
Now the girl is detained in a center for minors.
She has no criminal record, which, along with her age, justifies her being tried as a minor, according to the prosecution.

"They say she had the intention of hitting him but not necessarily killing him," Moore's wife laments, "anyone over eight knows that if you hit a person with
a 3,000-pound car, they
are very likely to die."
"It is an unpleasant situation, I feel abandoned by the judicial system," she adds. On his Facebook page he posted an image on Wednesday with the caption: "I am not afraid of
werewolves or vampires or haunted hotels
, I am afraid of what a real person can do to another real person" .
