Elderly Man Charged with Brutal Murder in Austin

An 84-year-old man, Jack Moore, has been arrested for the murder of his 83-year-old roommate, Linda Mlsna, and her dog in Austin, Texas. The Austin Police Department responded to reports of a dead person on November 18, where they discovered Mlsna and her dog deceased in a closet at their home. Moore had used Mlsna's credit cards for fraudulent purchases and planned to flee the country, according to his confession during police interviews. The murder, characterized by investigators as a 'brutal attack', marks the 63rd homicide in Austin for the year. Moore was eventually arrested on an unrelated warrant and is currently held in Travis County Jail without bond. The case is ongoing, and public assistance is being sought for additional information.
