Friends now say that Ryan Taylor and Chad Moore were set on a collision course with each other after Moore reportedly assaulted his pregnant wife, who was Taylor’s ex-wife and the mother of his three children. Ryan Taylor had three daughters with his ex-wife Amber and after their divorce she remarried Moore. Friends say that Moore had been verbally abusive to Amber and the violence escalated when he physically assaulted her Tuesday. Amber left the home and went to stay with her mom, who then called Ryan Taylor’s mom to let him know what happened. Ryan in turn went to the couple’s apartment in the Lakeview Village Apartments to check on his daughters’ welfare/ Rob Kauder , KXLY. More here .
