Fred Moore, a 44-year-old man, died in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 10, 1944, recorded in the Baltimore City Death Index as “Frederick Moore” with that date of death.
The records that survive online don’t preserve the full day’s scene in one place—no single public page lays out the neighborhood, the room, the last words, or the first frantic call for help.
What does emerge is that his death date aligns with a cluster of violence attributed to a single offender: Luther McClam is listed in an online serial-killer database entry as responsible for multiple fatal beatings on March 10, 1944, including one victim named Fred Moore.
In that same entry, McClam is described as having been identified and apprehended in 1944, with the March 10 killings presented as part of the case that ultimately closed around him. The online account does not provide a detailed public narrative of the arrest—no quoted confession, no lineup description, no named detective—but it frames the investigation’s endpoint clearly: the suspect was not left unknown in the long run.
The later outcome appears in a separate public compilation of executions in Maryland, which lists Luther McClam as executed by hanging on August 17, 1945, in Baltimore City for murder. That listing, by its nature, implies the case progressed through charging and conviction to a death sentence that was carried out, though it does not specify which individual homicide formed the legal basis for the execution.
No additional publicly accessible online source located here provides further confirmed details about other suspects, competing theories, additional arrests, or any trial-level specifics tied directly and explicitly to Fred Moore beyond the linkage to McClam and the fact of Moore’s recorded death in Baltimore on March 10, 1944.
