A fugitive has been recaptured nearly half a century after he fled a life sentence for killing a woman with a Molotov cocktail during riots in 1968 in the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination.
Leonard Rayne Moses, 68, was arrested without incident on Thursday in Grand Blanc, Michigan by members of the FBIDetroit’s Fugitive Task Force.
For decades, Moses had been working as a traveling pharmacist under the alias ‘Paul Dickson’ after he escaped custody in 1971 while serving a life sentence in Pennsylvania.
‘The arrest of Leonard Moses brings a measure of closure to the family of the victim, Mary Amplo,’ said Allegheny County Sheriff William Mullen. ‘It proves the axiom that you cannot outrun your past.’
I’ll bet he voted in Michigan too, multiple times.
Google the murder victim’s name (Mary Amplo), then click on Images. All you’ll see are pictures of her killer, as if she didn’t exist.
Firing Squad for him !!!
