Part 3 of 5. Rachel Cooke’s parents believed their daughter was no longer alive, but still held out a sliver of hope that she was. In 2006, four years after her January 2002 disappearance, those hopes were completely dashed when a convicted killer confessed to bludgeoning, raping, and killing Rachel. Among this convicted killer’s many disdainful qualities, however, was a predilection to lying simply to cause confusion or emotional pain. Did Michael Keith Moore really kill Rachel Cooke or was his admission just a ick and psychopathic game?
