Murderer in Oroville Jail Linked to Moyers Killing
A jailed suspect Thomas Laughty alias Locklin in Oroville is tied to the Moyers murder near Nevada City after a highway robbery in October. Detectives traced the suspect across northern California, a $2,000 reward was offered, and a prior larceny conviction led to his 90 day county jail term. An inmate sleep-talk confession and subsequent violence spurred new evidence and possible Nevada County action as his term ends.
