| Larry Coon with Sandy Moore, the woman who murdered him. |
Truth be told, I do not like disrespecting anyone who is deceased, as I am a firm believer of letting one rest in peace; however, I must be honest when I say that Larry Coon was a scumbag. As much as I don't want to share this because I despise victim blaming in any shape or form, the truth is he use to starve Angela and lock her into a room for days without food and water. He also use to do other disgusting things which I will not share on this blog as they are far too graphic to discuss. Angela had a dark story of her own which is what prevented her from officially leaving him. Angela was also on a lot of medication and couldn't really make a decision because she depended highly on Larry. It wasn't until Clint Wegner came into her life that she decided to actually leave Larry and better her life.
A year after Angela died (last year), Larry set up multiple Go Fund Me and Patreon accounts attempting to cash in on Angela's death, when Angela didn't speak to him for years prior. And although the accounts have since been deleted, there were actual people who donated to him believing his story. He didn't have any money and was completely directionless not to mention had a thing for women who mentally ill and were much younger than him. I originally met Larry through my mother who was his boss at the time. Larry had worked at Parkview Acres Rehabilitation Center (now Pioneer Care and Rehabilitation Center) as a certified nursing assistant before leaving in 2010.
I don't know the entire backstory regarding what happened to make 19-year old old Sandy Moore snap, but according to the police reports she bragged about strangling him and killing him to multiple people before confessing to the crime to them. Then, she proceeded to hide his dead body in their laundry room under a sheet. For days she denied he was there, when people began to question where he was, including close friends of his. When police arrived at the scene, they noticed his body in between the washer and dryer with a plastic bag covering his head.
Sandy Moore has been charged with deliberate homicide. Moore exercised her 5th amendment right by utilizing Miranda rights. Additionally, 23-year old Cristina VanDuinen and 56-year old Kerry "Sam" Johnson were both charged with obstruction of justice, where both will face felony charges for their contribution to the crime. Both Moore and VanDuinen are currently being held for $200,000 bond and Johnson is currently being held for a bond of $100,000. Their cases will begin soon in district court. I also believe if they aren't tried and convicted this year, they will be next year.
Moore actually killed someone else in the Sheridan area and bragged about killing that person to multiple people, so it isn't the first time she has killed someone. Sheridan is a small town near Dillon, which is where she murdered Coon. Angela was from Sheridan, Wyoming, but unfortunately died in Nevada back in 2018.
A lot of people who lived near Coon and Moore claimed they would hear both of them fighting frequently. I believe this is true because this is his modus operandi, as he use to fight with Angela many times. Sometimes over nothing at all. I remember calling Angela on the phone and he was yelling at her because he wanted her to go to store. One time he accused Angela of cheating on him before effectuating that he wanted her to leave because he was getting back with his ex wife. Shortly after, Coon shot himself in the chin to make her feel guilty for something she didn't do. Of course, Angela felt bad for what Larry did to himself and embraced a lot of self blame for his actions. She originally published photos on her Facebook of Larry in a hospital bed, but had deleted them about a year after they both indefinitely split.
According to reports Sandy Moore killed Larry originally by strangling him. Sadly, Sandy Moore was a victim of 60-year old Rodney Lee Zahn who abducted her in 2016 when she was just 16. She has always had anger which could have been her motivation for killing Larry, although living with a person of his decorum, it just may be what originally set her off and made her snap. Either way, it is beyond sinister and I am in no way taking any sides nor defending her actions in any shape or form because at the end of the day, no matter how vile Larry is, the person who killed him is even more disgusting for killing him.
She should have just left.
I will say that the entire case is devastating and my heart goes out to the family and friends of Larry Coon. This is truly a sad way to start a new decade. What makes this even more bizarre is Angela was found dead January 12, 2018. Larry was found dead January 12, 2020.

Larry did have issues; however, I do agree, no one deserves to lose their life regardless of their decorum, especially at the hands of another person. I definitely do not believe he deserved to die. My reasons for disliking Larry are because of how he treated Angela throughout their relationship; however, my dislike for him does not dictate nor define the facts or the narrative. Larry did not deserved to die, especially in the way he did. My prayers go out to Larry and Larry's family.
