Mark Jacobs, Moyers’ attorney, spoke through a spokeswoman for the Public Defender’s Office, stating that Moyers was not involved in the burglary, but was there to meet a date. However, the Public Defender’s office stated that when Jacobs knocked on her client’s door, no one answered. Jacobs also stated that the missing items were never found.
