When we lived in Las Vegas, my fiancee was able to claim me on his taxes because I am unable to work because of being disabled, and he provides all support for me, can he still claim me now that we live in Missouri? Thanks in advance for you help!

Also, can we claim our moving expenses on our taxes?

Yes, you can be claimed as a qualifying relative. However, once you are married you must file as either married filing joint, or married filing separately. Married couples can not file as single or head of household. Nor can they claim their spouse as a dependent.
Your fiance may be able to deduct moving expenses if it related to a change in job location, or starting a new job. Read more about this topic here:

If you lived with him all year, he provided over half of your support, and your gross income was under $3300, and your relationship isn't illegal under local laws, then he can claim you.
Now, to claiming moving expenses on "our taxes" - you don't have an "our taxes". He has his taxes, and if you don't have any reportable income you don't have a return to file, if your disability is taxable then you do. If the move was due to a job change, then he can claim eligible unreimbursed moving expenses.

Same rules apply.
