Abduction Linked to Slaying of Rapper’s Stepfather?
Police are investigating the abduction of Wallace Moody, an Oak Lane man, in connection with the murder of rapper Beanie Sigel’s stepfather Sam Derry.
According to a witness, Moody was abducted last night by three African-American men in gray hooded sweatshirts who pointed guns at him and threw him into a vehicle.
Though the Inquirer has reported that Moody had spent time in prison with 46-year-old Sam Derry, PW’s information is that Moody was co-defendant in a drug conspiracy case with Derry’s brother Kent.
According to court records, both Moody and Kent Derry pleaded guilty and accepted four-to-eight-year prison terms in 1999 in a coke-dealing conspiracy.
Police suspect the details surrounding Derry’s murder suggest an intent to “send a message.” Derry was shot to death before being arranged on a makeshift pyre and set aflame in the 8100 block of Forrest Avenue on Monday night.
