Bill Leasure was charged for a thieving ring that stole and sold boats. He has yet to be released and is currently incarcerated. He was sentenced to two life sentences, each with a minimum of 15 years, based on his plea.

Authorities focused their inquiry on a yacht called La Vita, which they suspected was implicated in the crime. Officers were astonished to find William Leasure and others on board when the yacht was seized in Oakland in May 1986.
According to prison records, Leasure is still incarcerated at the Mule Creek State Prison in Ione, California, so it appears that this will take some time.
