Reward Offered In Death Of Altadena Grandmother
ALTADENA, Calif.
A $10,000 reward was posted on Tuesday for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the death of a 90-year-old Altadena grandmother whose body was found in her home, which had been set on fire deliberately.
On a motion from Supervisors Michael Antonovich and Yvonne Brathwaite Burke, the full board approved the reward during its regular meeting.
Firefighters who quickly extinguished a blaze last Thursday at Eveyln Oletha Mosely's home at 3225 Lincoln Ave. discovered her body on the kitchen floor. Investigators found signs of a struggle inside the home she shared with her daughter and grandson.
A housekeeper was booked on suspicion of murder hours later but was quickly exonerated and set free.
Anyone with information about Mosely's death was asked to contact sheriff's homicide Lt. Liam Gallagher at (323) 890-5500.
