The frequently delayed trial is now scheduled to begin Monday for the suspect accused of the 2009 murder of an Alliance teenager whose body was never found.

Following a hearing before Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney on Wednesday, it was decided that jury selection will begin Monday for Robert Moore, who will turn 54 years old next week.

This case goes back fourteen years when police say Glenna Jean White, who was 16 years old at the time went missing after visiting Moore's home to meet with a friend. Police say she left the home with Moore that night and was never seen again.

There has been no trace of White since then, so the prosecution must convince a jury that White was murdered, and Moore was the one who committed the crime.

After numerous continuances of the case, a jury found Moore “not guilty” of aggravated murder following a trial in May 2022.  However, since the jury couldn’t decide Moore’s guilt or innocence on a second, less serious count of murder, he still faces trial on that charge.

Since then, there have been further continuances of trial dates, the latest of which was in January.
