Koler then presented a Brandywine report indicating that he had injured the same knee the day before. He then dismissed the investigators, saying he wished to speak to his attorney. Glenn is confident the bureau has caught Moser red-handed, but some firefighters won't believe it till it happens. The case is more than a year old, and they've only seen Moser's fortunes improve since the inquiry began. In December, after the investigation was completed and the department alerted, Moser was nonetheless promoted to captain of Parma Station 4.
Some firefighters find such logic novel.
The promotion dealt a double-whammy to department morale. Moser was appointed to replace popular Captain Jerry Guska, who died of a heart attack at age 51 after spending some 30 years with the department. Moreover, his death came not long after firefighters accused a member of their Local 639 of embezzling money from union coffers. The FBI is investigating. With the possibility of more black clouds to come, some among the rank and file wonder why superiors aren't being more proactive with the Moser case.
