A man has been arrested after a woman reported missing was found dead in a trash can, her family and investigators said Tuesday. Brittany Moran, 30, was last seen in the Loveland area between May 15 and May 16, 2024. Her mother, Audrey Moran, said her daughter had been very active on Facebook and became concerned after a few days of inactivity. After two more days of inactivity, Moran began asking her friends if they had heard from her. She said her daughter was in Loveland frequently, so Audrey began talking to people and friends in that area and eventually filed a missing person report with police. After days of searching, according to Audrey, investigators came to her and told her her daughter had been found dead in a trash can behind an abandoned building on Paddock Road in Paddock Hills. “Nobody deserved this,” Audrey Moran said. Dean Allen, 50, was arrested in connection with her death. He is accused of tampering with evidence and desecrating a corpse. “Because of him and the way he treated my daughter, I can't even see her one last time,” Moran said. She shared that the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers. “I love my baby, she knows I'll do anything to find out,” Moran said. She shared that Moran leaves behind seven children and they will be starting a GoFundMe to help with family expenses.
