“I think he is going to be upset at some things in the fact that he’s not glorified. He’s not the hero in this story, obviously. So watching it, I think he’s going to feel a sense of betrayal that he’s not the hero of this story,” Moore told Parade in an exclusive interview. “This is my story,” she continued, “And I think he’ll be upset that I’m victorious in this storyline. Victorious in the sense that I get closure for another case. These are just assumptions. I have no idea really how he’s going to react. But based on what I know about him, I think that will be the truth.”

In real life, Moore eventually reached out to the families of her father’s victims and the families of other perpetrators, which helped her to cope with the shame and complex emotions she dealt with. “There’s no way I could share my story or even give the floor for the victims’ families to speak without inadvertently giving attention to my father. So there’s just no way around it. I wish there was, but there isn’t,” she told the outlet.

Despite the tough emotions she had to navigate, the true crime podcast host ultimately feels empowered from the work she’s doing. “I feel like seeing these memories play out too, gave me a sense of appreciation for what I went through and that I’m here to tell the tale. It really summarized what it felt like emotionally to go through it,” Moore shared. Her courage and inner journey are what inspired Happy Face. It provides a new perspective for fans of true crime to explore, but not without taking audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions and shocking revelations.
