News release from Coos Co. District Attorney R. Paul Frasier. Dec. 29, 2020 – “The investigation into the death of Michael Moore is continuing. As of this moment the person of interest in this case, Joshua Thompson, has not been located by police. The investigators in the case are especially interested in talking with any person who say Mr. Thompson at any time on Sunday, December 27. Anyone with such information or who knows the current location of Mr. Thompson, is encouraged to contact the North Bend Police Dept.” Police are still interested in a red Honda Prelude, white or light colored engine hood, that is believed to be involved in this case. “Despite what is being stated on social media, the vehicle is not a Mustang convertible. Anyone who recognizes or has seen this vehicle is asked to contact North Bend Police.” A second news release from the DA stated the red vehicle has been located in a remote rural area of North Coos County on private forest land. The vehicle turned out to be a red Toyota Camry with a sunroof. It has been impounded. Frasier also reports that an autopsy on Moore showed he died as a result of severe crushing injuries to his chest and abdomen.
