Shortly after the state of Florida scheduled Frank Lee Smith's execution in 1989, defense team investigator Jeff Walsh came across the name of Eddie Lee Mosley, a suspect in a number of rapes and murders of young black women that had occurred in Shandra Whitehead's neighborhood.

Although Mosley was well-known to area law enforcement -- including Broward County's -- Broward investigators never looked into Mosley as a possible suspect. Instead, they only targeted Frank Lee Smith.

Here's a video excerpt from FRONTLINE's report in which Ft. Lauderdale police investigators discuss what they knew about Mosley and his connection to rapes and murders in the area.
