Deputies say a woman in the front yard of the home told them that Moore was a family member who had stolen her car and fled the scene after tying her and two of her family members up, and locking her outside of the home.
When entering the home police found a man untying himself, and one elderly woman, still tied up and in need of medical assistance, according to a news release.
