YOUNGSTOWN - A trial has been delayed for an Alliance man accused of murdering a teenager who hasn’t been seen in fourteen years.

Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Maureen Sweeney was scheduled to begin jury selection Monday in the trial of 53-year-old Robert Moore who was already found “not guilty” of aggravated murder in connection with the disappearance of Glenna Jean White.

Judge Sweeney declared a mistrial in June of last year when the jury hearing the case found Moore "not guilty" of aggravated murder, but could not reach a unanimous verdict on the less serious murder count.

While a murder conviction in Ohio can bring a sentence of fifteen years to life in prison, being found guilty of aggravated murder could mean a death sentence or life in prison.

Monday's trial was delayed after a prosecution witness in the case was arrested in Stark County.

The case dates to 2009 when police say the Alliance teen went missing after visiting Moore’s home.

Police said White, then 16 years old, was there to meet a teenage girlfriend, but then left with Moore that night and was never seen again.

Since White has never been found, prosecutors need to convince a jury that White was murdered and that Moore is the person who committed the crime.

Moore has been held in the Mahoning County jail since his arrest in December 2021.

The trial has been reset for October 2.
