A fire investigation on a quiet street in Lexington led authorities to a meth lab in the basement of the home. Now, a new development has authorities puzzled and asking for your help.
It happened in late March just after 9:00 a.m. on Woodbine Drive near Lafayette High School.
“The initial 911 call came in,” Detective Mark Thomas said. “And just said that there had been an explosion in the basement and they needed help.”

The fire department responded and so did a few police officers … for traffic control, not for a meth lab bust.
However, shortly after they arrived, authorities began to put two and two together … a critically burned man in the hospital, a blackened propane tank in the basement and evidence of a drug lab.
Authorities also learned that there was another man down in the basement with the known victim. This other “scientist” managed to sneak right by authorities.
“This gentleman we’re looking for was seen coming toward the officer, he had on an apron, some smoke like he’d been around the incident,” Thomas said. “But again, the officer directing traffic didn’t know this was related to any lab. The suspect went down the street toward Lafayette High School, turned and disappeared.”
He hasn’t been seen since. Police have talked to Lee Michael Moore on the phone but he refuses to give himself up.
