The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced the arrest of a prisoner who has been in hiding since 1971, after he escaped while participating in his grandmother’s funeral.

In a statement posted on its website, the office said Leonard Moses was serving a life sentence following his 1968 conviction for the murder of a Pittsburgh resident.

After the assassination of the symbol of the fight for civil rights, Martin Luther King, demonstrations broke out in this city in the northeastern United States, and Leonard Moses, along with others, threw a fire bomb at a house.

The resident of the house, Mary Albu, who suffered from pneumonia, suffered severe burns that led to her death.

Leonard Moses managed to escape while participating in his grandmother’s funeral.

According to the statement, Moses continued his life in red as a new character, after his escape, calling himself “Paul Dickson” and had been working since at least 1999 as a pharmacist in Michigan.

And in 2016, the Federal Police relaunched the investigations, questioning his relatives again, offering a monetary reward and assigning a number to collect information on Leonard Moses.

“FBI” official Michael Christman said during a press conference in Pittsburgh that despite the arrival of more than two thousand pieces of information, “we were unable to locate and arrest Leonard Moses,” but at the beginning of the year, the police managed to arrest him. again and indicting him as part of a separate investigation did not clarify the nature of the “FBI.”

Court documents show that a person named Paul Dickson, born in 1949, has faced court charges in this state since April for his involvement in counterfeiting and supplying illegal prescriptions for controlled substances.

As part of this journey, their fingerprints were entered into a local information system before being compared to a federal database.

Christman indicated that the man was arrested last Thursday at his home in Michigan without any problem, to be transferred to Pennsylvania “to face justice.”
