JACKSON COUNTY, Ala. — 16 months, that’s how long a mother in Fort Payne has been without her first born. I mean, I think about my son every second, every moment of my day," Tomorrow Betton shares. "This is the hardest thing I ever had to go through in my life. The fact that I'll never see him, never talk to him again, never touch him, never get to tell him I love him again. I just need this to be over with. He deserves justice.
Jamari Moore was a son, brother and nephew who had his whole life ahead of him. "That was my nephew. that was my partner," Alto Moore shares. "You know, he spent a lot of time with me, you know, growing up, he spent a lot of time with me. Jamari wasn't a bad kid. This was not supposed to be a part of his reality. Somebody altered his reality."
Moore's body was found in August of 2023 and a little over a year later, no arrest or leads have been made in the case. "It's just taking extremely long. I feel sometimes I feel that, you know, they're waiting for someone to say I did it, but you're not going to get that from people who took someone's life. you have to put in the work, and i think they are putting in the work. it's just a very long process.
Moore's uncle shares the family is ready to heal. "We ready to start healing. we can't heal when it's still open. that's like a wall. you know, you don't put anything on it. it's never going to heal. it's open, you know, so we have to begin to put band-aids on it."
