Episode notes

The state was building a case against Leon Moore. Robert was going to be a key witness. Four months later, Robert died. In between the preliminary hearing and the trial, he had died in his bedroom. They were going through his effects,. and they had found the subpoena. That was the only reason they even knew about it.

In 1977, a mild-mannered aeronautical engineer sideswiped a parked car in Compton, CA. When he stopped his car to survey the damage, a man named Leon Moore opened the driver-side door, shoved him over, and started driving. He said, "I'm about to save your life."

We talk to lawyer Stephanie Nally about a con that spanned decades.
