Suffolk, NC: Suffolk family remembers slain mother of three

 

SUFFOLK - Perhaps jealousy led to the murder of Cathy Moseley, but to her mother Betty, there is no way to explain what Darren Moseley did after authorities say he killed Cathy, his wife of 10-years.

"He act like nothing ever happened, came here and stayed two nights, ate my food, slept in my son's bed, took baths and then to find out he killed my baby. It was just devastating.

Devastation. It was a feeling that started with confusion last Friday. Cathy called her mom to say she was breaking up with Darren. She was tired of his jealous rants.

So she packed up and headed home. Cathy never showed but a few hours later Darren did.

"He done killed my baby and took her away. He acted like nothing ever happened. Like everything was peaches and cream."

Darren explained he indeed argued with Cathy, left their home on Causey Avenue to get cigarettes and that Cathy was gone when he got back.

"She was not someone that would not call."

Suffolk police became suspicious. A mother of three was missing and her husband's story wasn't making much sense.

"That alarmed investigators. We were able to find the victim's body in Isle Of Wight County."

Within hours, Moseley was arrested. Police say he stabbed Cathy to death at home, loaded her into a rental car and left her in the woods. Then he went to spend the weekend with his in-laws.

"... It's hard, it's hard…she was the most beautiful person inside and out...he had nerve, he had nerve."

Cathy Moseley's 3 kids, all under the age of 13, are in the care of her mother tonight. On Friday there will be a vigil for Cathy. Family will walk from her house to her mother's house. Again, where Cathy planned on going before she was killed.
