Police accuse grandfather, 70, in BASE jumps from area skyscrapers

Two years ago, authorities named a then 68-year-old grandfather as the prime suspect in several brazen BASE jumps from some of the D.C. area’s tallest buildings.

The investigation into Chuck Moeser, a formerly elite and flamboyant local runner, was featured in a front-page story in The Washington Post. But the statute of limitations for trespassing expired as Fairfax County police were building a case. If Moeser was the jumper, he got away with as many as six leaps, including a harrowing 32-story plunge over evening traffic.
