Melissa G. Moore Biography

Melissa G. Moore is a New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-nominated creator, executive producer, and a prominent figure in true crime journalism and victim advocacy. As the daughter of Keith Hunter Jesperson, known as the Happy Face Killer, Moore has used her personal history to inform her work in crime reporting, trauma recovery, and public education.

Moore first detailed her experiences in the memoir "Shattered Silence: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer's Daughter," which explores her life as the daughter of a serial murderer and her journey toward reclaiming her identity. The book became a national bestseller and contributed to broader discussions about the impact of violent crime on families. Her second book, "Whole: A Guide to Self-Repair," offers tools for reframing pain and rebuilding confidence after trauma. In "Killer in the Family," Moore connects with other families affected by violent crime, documenting the private lives of nine families linked to high-profile cases.

Moore has produced and hosted several true crime projects, including "Monster in My Family" on Lifetime and the podcast "Happy Face," which was nominated for an iHeartMedia Award and has received over 20 million downloads. Her work as a documentary filmmaker spans platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Lifetime. Moore has been featured in Forbes, TIME, and on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She received an Emmy nomination for her investigative reporting and production for "Crime Watch Daily."

The Paramount+ limited drama series Happy Face was adapted from Moore's podcast and her autobiography. The series, starring Dennis Quaid and Annaleigh Ashford, introduced Moore's story to a global audience. Her producing credits also include "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up" and "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets." Moore frequently speaks on topics related to trauma recovery, domestic violence, and serial violent crimes, drawing on her personal experience to inform her work in true crime media and victim advocacy.
