A new fingerprint system used by the FBI has led to the capture of a killer who has been on the run for 50 years. After managing to match his 1968 fingerprints with those recently obtained, the FBI caught the man, who is serving a life sentence.
A new fingerprint technology that the FBI has started using has led to the capture of a person who has been on the run for 50 years. A man who was first arrested and then kidnapped for a murder he committed years ago was sent to prison after being detained. New technology has enabled justice to be found, even if it is 50 years late.
The United States had faced major events in 1968. Martin Luther King, the pastor who started the American Civil Rights Movement, was killed as a result of these events. At that time, the deserter deliberately killed a man named Mary Amploy and was sentenced to life in prison. A man named Leonard Rayne Moses escaped from prison in 1971 and has been hidden until now. But the 50-year Escape process ended thanks to fingerprints.
Fingerprints taken in those years were matched with today’s technologies
FBI agent Michael Christman said in a statement that Moses, who has been on the run for 50 years, was caught thanks to new technology that the FBI has. Christman noted that the next-generation system matched Moses ‘ 1968 fingerprint and today’s fingerprint, noting that they caught the killer thanks to a matching fingerprint during a detention this year. Amploy’s killer was arrested and remanded in custody on November 12.
According to authorities, Moses ‘ trial had lasted several years. The man who appealed the sentence he received in 1971 found out he had lost his grandmother while the appeal process was underway. He was taken to his grandmother’s funeral on June 1, 1971, and after he managed to dodge the law enforcement of the era, he built a new life for himself. But 50 years later, that changed. Moses will probably remain behind bars until he takes his last breath.
