Almost 50 years after his escape, a criminal in the United States was captured by the FBI. Leonard Moses, who was convicted of the riots that followed the murder of civil rights activist Martin Luther King in 1968, was arrested at his home in Grand Blanc, Michigan, the FBI announced Friday.
Moses had been sentenced to life in prison for throwing incendiary devices with other protesters in Pittsburgh during the 1968 riots. One of the Molotov cocktails set fire to the home of a woman who was seriously injured and then succumbed to burns.
So Moses escaped
In 1971, Moses used a free ticket to escape: he escaped from the police during his grandmother’s funeral. He changed his name to Paul Dickson and worked as a pharmacist in Michigan. In 2016, the FBI resumed its investigation of the case and offered a reward for clues to Moses’ capture. The efforts were unsuccessful.
Earlier this year, he was questioned about another case, according to the FBI. It turned out that suspect Paul Dickson’s fingerprints match those of Leonard Moses. Moises was finally arrested at his home on Thursday without resistance. (SDA)
