Wow that's quite bizarre. I can't imagine they didn't send him away even at his age. I would think he would be more of a risk over 70 with Senility and possible Alzheimer's into the MI mix. I can't imagine that there wasn't any parole conditions against a situation like that. The daughter was not in her right mind to allow endangering her and her children like that. Stupid in my opinion.
Well, I suppose there was probably some sort of parole or something. I tried to go back and look it up not long ago -- it wasn't in the archives of the Lakeland Ledger (at least what's online, or maybe they kept it out of the papers??) but I did find a notation in my high school alumni newsletter that he'd died not long afterward. Perhaps his health was bad.
I remember never liking him, and especially not liking the way he treated his wife (our two families got together frequently, but that was a couple decades before the murder). He was quite respected in the community, however.
