Ramona Moore was last seen on July 31, 2012, when she vanished from her residence in the Bronx, which she rented from defendant. In June 2014, defendant was indicted for Ms. Moore’s murder, although her body had not been discovered. The People’s case consists almost entirely of circumstantial evidence, including witness testimony, allegations that defendant had asked Ms. Moore to submit false paperwork to apply for rent subsidies, and a statement made by defendant to the police, in or about August 2012, in which he said that he had argued with Ms. Moore about unpaid rent, and made derogatory comments about her lifestyle.
