Fred Moseley lived with his parents in Canyon, Texas. He disappeared on July 25, 1998. His parents were out of town at the time. Two days later, Moseley's Dodge Neon was found on a country road outside Canyon. Canyon police began a missing persons investigation a few days later after Moseley's parents returned home and reported their son was missing.
In July 2013, Mario Bolestero Campos was found guilty in the 1998 slaying of Fred Charles Moseley and was sentenced to life in prison. Another man, Gerald Ross Dooley was given a ten-year sentence after he confessed to helping strangle Moseley and agreed to testify for the prosecution. Dooley told investigators that Moseley, who attended the Amarillo Christian School, was strangled during robbery on July 25, 1998, at the victim's home. The two then drove to Amarillo, Texas, and put Moseley's body in a dumpster in northwest Amarillo.
