When Melissa G. Moore came home one afternoon in the spring of 1995, her mother Rose Hucke took her and her two younger siblings aside. The Shadle Park High School senior immediately knew something was very wrong: her parents never held family meetings. In the unfinished basement of Moore’s grandmother’s Spokane, Wash., home where the family lived at the time, Rose shared that the children’s father, Keith Hunter Jesperson, was in prison for murder.

The news rocked Moore to the core. “I had a cot and a cellar area that I designated as my bedroom. I just remember going in there, throwing myself on the cot, crying and trying to picture what happened,” she tells TIME, wondering to herself, “Is this really true?”

It would eventually be revealed that between 1990 and 1995, Jesperson strangled and killed at least eight women during his travels across the U.S. Signing anonymous confessional notes to newspapers and on restroom walls with a smiley face, he became known as the “Happy Face Killer.” After his arrest in 1995 and subsequent confession, he is now serving several life sentences at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, Ore.
