Guilty verdict in 2009 Noah case

October 18, 2015 By Alice

Guilty verdict in 2009 Noah case  six years after he disappeared.

From the San Antonio Express News: “Shelby C. Moore apologized for concealing his death from worried relatives for months, not telling them he’d helped dump the body in Gillespie County.”

Note that Moore (Noah’s cousin) was sentenced to nine years only for tampering with the body (hiding it) under a plea deal struck in August. We still need a trial to decide who is guilty of actually murdering Noah.

An affidavit by Gillespie County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Pehl quoted Moore as saying in a June 10, 2010 interview that Brandon L. Harber argued with Noah and then shot him at Moore’s home in Kendall County, Texas.

“Moore told me that neither he nor Harber sought any medical care for Noah after the shooting,” and that the two used Moore’s pickup to dump the body, Pehl said in the affidavit. Conflicting information appeared in the papers about who shot Trey. Both defendants pointed to each other.

Moore and Harber were arrested om June 11, 2010. They each faced first-degree felony murder charges as well as charges for tampering with physical evidence, a second-degree felony. I have not been able to find anything related to Harber’s charges.

Trey Allen Noah, 20, disappeared in November 2009 from his parents home in Kendalia, Texas, near San Antonio.  His body was found in April 2010.

Author Notes

Since 2009, I write about unsolved cases that need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigations to the authorities.

My posts cover homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to unsolved cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme, tone, and research. It is my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the About page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
