Joshua Almeda arraigned on murder charges

Butch Moore learned of the death of his 20-year-old curly-haired daughter early Thursday morning. Two days later in an Anchorage courtroom, he confronted the 22-year-old man, Joshua Almeda, who faces a murder charge in her killing. This was a man, he said, his daughter had loved.

"We never saw her because everything she did, she did it for Joshua," Moore said to a full courtroom Saturday at the Anchorage Correctional Complex. "She picked him up. She dropped him off. She was always with him. Nothing else mattered."
