UPDATE (July 12): Homicide victim Nina Whitney's daughter dated her mother's suspected killer 25 years ago. Paige Huesey told Fox 4 that ex-Grandview police officer Jeffrey Moreland was adored by her mother. Huesey told the TV station that she never suspected Moreland until she saw a police sketch of her mother's suspected killer. "It just hit me like a bolt of lightning, that's Jeff's chin," Huesey said. "I want him to know his ex-girlfriend got him caught, plain and simple. He murdered my mother, and I was not about to give up."
Original Story (July 8): A former Grandview police officer has been charged in the cold-case homicides of two women. Prosecutors in Jackson and Cass counties announced murder and rape charges against 52-year-old Jeffrey Moreland, who medically retired from the Grandview PD several years ago.
Moreland is accused of raping and killing Cara Jo Roberts in November 2008. He's also accused of killing 75-year-old Nina Whitney, who was strangled and stabbed in her home at 11800 Belmont in October 2010 (in April, police released a composite sketch of a suspect).
The Star reported that Moreland is accused of raping a woman last week in Harrisonville; DNA from the rape matched DNA evidence in the homicides. He was arrested in Iowa on Wednesday and is locked up in the Cass County jail on $1 million bond.
In Whitney's case, a witness saw a man
who doesn't live on the block leaving the scene the day of the killing in a newer model Jeep Liberty. The suspect was
described as a white male between the ages of 45 and 60. He's
approximately 5 feet 8 inches, 200 pounds and may be walking with a
slight limp.
The Star reported that Moreland has Parkinson's disease and drives a vehicle similar to the Jeep that the witness described.

This type of behavior does NOT just start at his age !! I won't be surprised if there are many more victims. This type of monster lives around ALL of us. This is what is so disturbing.Someone you work with , your neighbor , or even someone in your own family.These MONSTERS depend on your trust. This is why they can get away with this for many years.
SERIAL KILLERS...DO NOT LOOK LIKE MONSTERS...
She was from Belton. But if this guy is committing crimes as far south as Harrisonville, I could see where the suspicion would be.
Wondering if he could have any thing to do with Kara, high school student, who disappeared a couple yrs. ago. Wasn't she from Grandview? She would walk up to a police car. Hope they check into this.
he used to work off duty at Grandveiw Skate land when it was open. Is that the same guy
These crooked cops only get in trouble AFTER they leave the force. www.crookedsapd.com
I worked with him for a few years. He was a backstabbing asshole. I just didn't know he was this big of an asshole
WHATS EVEN WORSE IS IF YOU ARE A POLICE OFFICER THAT THOUGHT THIS GUY HAS YOUR BACK!!!! SCARY..The biggest monsters are the ones you lest suspect !!!!!
Anyone who assaults the elderly or children should immediately be put to death and this guy should be the first in line. What a fucking piece of shit, cops are supposed to serve and protect not rape and murder.
