Peter Moore’s passion for reviving the glory days of cinema was one which he took very seriously. When he reopened cinemas that had been dark for years, the story seemed almost wholesome in its narrative; an eccentric old movie enthusiast standing against the march of the out-of-town multiplex. If you knew Peter Moore only through his businesses, there was little reason to imagine that the private world behind that public image was radically different from the one he showed customers, neighbours, and fellow movie lovers.However, across the same part of North Wales, other men had encountered a far darker version of Peter Moore. A series of apparently unconnected events would eventually draw police attention across Anglesey, Denbighshire, and the northern Welsh coast, and force investigators to look far more closely at the man whose name had become familiar throughout the region. What they discovered would transform an eccentric businessman into one of the most notorious criminals in modern Welsh history, and expose a pattern of predatory behaviour that had been developing for years before anybody fully understood its true scale.This week, we're looking at the life and crimes of Peter Moore, the man the media would later call the 'Man in Black'.
