It is Moore's opinion that Luna, the investigator for the Klan, obviously talked with Hall and Cash and others who were told of the pressure being put on by the FBI. Luna obviously got in touch with Shelton concerning this and, in turn, this information was given to Posey, the investigator for the State of Alabama (Alabama Highway Patrol).

So far it does not appear they have been successful because both Chambliss and Cagie are being heid on open charges by the Birmingham Police Department for the Alabama Highway Patrol. .
