In 1952 Leonard Mocderi was "accidentally" apprehended by police working for a telephone company in Los Angeles. The gangster was placing a phone call to Las Vegas and using slugs to make the calls illegally. Taken into custody by the LAPD Moceri was traced to several unsolved murders in Toledo, Ohio and one in Detroit, Michigan. The means of tracing this information were the fingerprints detectives found on a receipt inside Moceri's Cadillac. Leo Moceri was formerly a member of Yonnie Licavoili's outlaw band which moved from Detroit to Toledo in 1931.
