The inaugural episode of Dateline: Unforgettable on Oxygen is set to shed light on the murder of Shane Moore at the hands of Aisling Tucker Moore-Reed, the daughter of Daniel Reed and Kelly Moore. Both Daniel and Kelly were prominent authors. Shane was also the brother of Kelly Moore, and the murder took place when Shane allegedly tried to assault Kelly and Tucker.

The case was previously covered on Dateline, and will now be the subject of Dateline: Unforgettable season 5 episode 1, which premieres at 8 pm EST on Thursday, January 16, 2025, on Oxygen.

Tucker Moore-Reed was sentenced to six years and three months in prison. Her father, Daniel Reed, and mother Kelly Reed remained supportive of their daughter and supported the claim that the murder was in self-defense.

Ahead of the episode, let us go over the whereabouts of author Daniel Reed, who suffered an immense personal setback in the past years.

Daniel Reed grew up in Los Angeles, California, and tried his hands in acting and even attended a drama course. However, he later shifted his focus to writing and shot to fame as a writer for a true crime novel Deadly Medicine in 1988. This was co-authored by Kelly Moore.

Kelly and Daniel went on to build a life together and even had three kids. They, however, divorced in 2000, long before the incident of Tucker Moore-Reed shooting her uncle to death.

This also means that Daniel was not involved in the murder directly at all. He was just the father of the perpetrator and a relative of the victim. On July 26, 2016, Tucker allegedly shot Shane Moore to death at her grandmother’s house in Applegate, Oregon, where Kelly Moore and Tucker Moore-Reed had an argument with Shane Moore, who they claimed assaulted Tucker.

The dispute was over a property.

Tucker Moore-Reed was initially not sent to prison and even went on to act in an indie film before she was finally sentenced on the charges of second-degree manslaughter.
