Roy K. Moore (June 11, 1914 – October 12, 2008) was an American FBI agent and former Marine who was best known as the chief agent who investigated the disappearance of civil rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. The 1988 film Mississippi Burning, starring Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe, was based on that case. Because of the efforts of Moore and his agents, nineteen men were indicted and seven were convicted. All served fewer than six years in prison.
