Darri's body was found in the Mississippi River. The cause of her death is not known, but according to investigators "foul play has been ruled out"'
ST. GENEVIEVE, Mo. (First Alert 4) -A transgender woman from St. Louis has been identified as the victim whose body was discovered along the Mississippi River.
“She was not by herself. She loved herself too much to walk out on that river,” says childhood friend, Izzy Baker.
The body of 23-year-old Darri Moore’s was recovered after police responded to a call from Tower Rock Stone in St. Genevieve. Employees working along the water found the body on May 1.
Investigators tell First Alert 4, Darri’s body was so badly decomposed the autopsy results could not determine the cause of death. A spokesman says foul play has been ruled out. Detectives are in need of the public’s help to prevent the case from going cold.
“I just hate that her mother doesn’t have any answers. Her father doesn’t have any answers. Her sister doesn’t have any answers. I don’t have any answers,” says Baker.
A GoFundMe has been set up for funeral expenses. Baker hopes it raises awareness about the dangers those who identify as transgender face.
“Somebody knows and they’re not telling us. I just pray and hope that someone comes forward to tell us what happened.”
Anyone aware of Darri Moore’s whereabouts or who was with Darri leading up to the disappearance is urged to call the St. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Office at (573) 883-5820. Anonymous tips can be made through CrimeStoppers at (866) 371-8477.
