Investigators confiscated gambling equipment from a professional card
player's home at Ripon the day after he was charged with killing his wife.A
search warrant shows that Ripon police took a slot machine, ledgers, hidden
cameras and other items from the home of 44-year-old Kevin Moore. Moore has
been charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of his
43-year-old wife, Dawn. Her body was found November 13th in a pool of blood
near the garage of the couple's Ripon home. Fond du Lac County District
Attorney Tom Storm has said she died of a blunt force trauma to the head,
and a cinder block was found next to her body. The search warrant says Kevin
Moore told police before he was arrested that he had ten thousand dollars
hidden in the slot machine in his game room. He told police he thought
whoever killed Dawn Moore wanted the money. The warrant says Kevin Moore
told police he made his living playing Blackjack and then poker and he now
only plays poker online in some tournaments.
