Great find Cam! Thank you for posting these. Very interesting.
As you are already obviously aware, here is some more information about Leonard Mosley:
He was former Sheriff Abernathy's right hand man. Lieutenant and head of their narcotics division. There were allegations of abuse of power. He was vocal supporter of Abernathy during the 1976 sheriff election and was not happy when Abernathy lost to Doug Thomas.
He was let go when DT became sheriff. He filed suit claiming his firing was over political reasons. He lost the case the in court.
He also just happens to be the stepfather of Tom Schmidt who lived in cabin 14 and Mosley himself is said to have previously lived in Keddie.

Lt. Mosley was accepted to attend the FBI's 12-week course (7 Jan to 29 Mar 1974); Mosley was nominated by Sheriff Abernethy. At that time, Mosley was only the third member of PCSO to have received this training.  |
