(KAIR)--Six-months have passed, and details remain scarce regarding the death of an Atchison man.
Deemed to be a homicide, investigators have never publicly stated what caused the death of 49-year-old Michael Moeck at his Atchison home.
Moeck's body was discovered around 7:00 on the evening of April 24 at his 1145 Parallel Street residence.
Atchison Police launched the investigation, with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation called in to assist with the probe.
How Moeck died has never been revealed, nor have any persons of interest in connection with his death been made public. Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News those details, being a part of the ongoing investigation, remain unreleased to the public. “Everyday, there is some effort being made that will lead us to this prosecution,” Wilson said. “KBI agents are here frequently. We speak daily, whether it be in a meeting, whether it be following leads here in Atchison, or whether it's talking by phone. There's things being done on a daily basis, it's just somewhat unfortunate we can't speak about the progress that's being made, and the efforts that's being made, because, obviously, that could hinder the investigation and, ultimately, the prosecution.”
Weeks after the murder, Wilson told MSC News many leads were being followed and interviews conducted, saying he was confident that an arrest would be made. Now, six months later, Wilson says he remains confident that whoever killed Moeck will be brought to justice. “We are confident that this investigation will lead to a prosecution,” Wilson said. “Out mission is to present the County Attorney with a case that will lead to a conviction. We've been committed to that goal on a daily basis since April 24 and we will reach that goal. It's not if, but it's when, this case will reach Atchison County District Court.”
Anyone with information related to the death of Michael Moeck should call the KBI at 1-800-KS-CRIME.
