Full Bio

Melissa G. Moore is the daughter of Keith Hunter Jesperson, a man infamously known as the “Happy Face Serial Killer.” Her intuition and courage forged a drive within her to create a new way of life—one rich with contribution and full of meaning. As a national best-selling author and speaker, she shares a dynamic message of having the courage to shine through adversity and the unlimited power of choice in our lives.

Moore has developed an expertise in domestic and dating abuse through her personal experiences of living in a home with domestic violence as well as being a victim of dating abuse. By using tact and compelling stories of real-life examples, Moore provides insight, strength, encouragement, and hope to women who blame themselves.

Moore has been sought out as a positive example of how we do not have to be products of our circumstances. She is a firm believer that we have the power within ourselves to rise above our past and create the life we choose.

Moore, the author of Shattered Silence: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer’s Daughter, has been featured and appeared as a commentator on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil, Good Morning America, Fox News, America’s Most Wanted, and E! Entertainment, as well as in People and In Touch magazines. Most recently, Moore has sat down and interviewed those featured in Netflix’s Making a Murderer documentary series in the wake of the series popularity. In addition, she was nominated for a 2016 Emmy for her investigative reporting and production for Crime Watch Daily. READ LESS ^
