AUDIO: Listen to the Parole Board hearing that set Phil Dewoody free
The parole hearing lasted 15 minutes and all three board members there voted to release Dewoody.

Snip

During the hearing - which lasted 15 minutes - no members of the parole board asked Dewoody anything about any of his crimes. The board does conduct an investigation ahead of the hearing which would not be public record

After lying about what happened for roughly six months, he finally confessed, and later was indicted. At the same time, he pleaded guilty to the abduction and sexual assault of another woman, and for these crimes he’s now serving three life sentences. Because his case is now closed, the investigative file has become public record.

Joyce was dead before the sun went down on the day she disappeared with Phillip Dewoody. He lied repeatedly about that day, but the activity on Dewoody's credit card tells the story: He bought three bottles of bleach at 9 a.m. in Opelousas, got his tire fixed and bought some gas in Ville Platte around 10:20 a.m. At about 10:45 a.m., a Meals on Wheels driver saw Joyce leave her apartment with Dewoody. After 11 a.m., he bought two drinks and some gum at a gas station. The calls to her children started around 12:30 p.m. The time stamp on the ransom video was about 1 p.m. and by 3 p.m., Dewoody was at the Carencro Walmart, buying clothes to replace the ones he had been wearing. At 4:30 p.m. he was washing his car and at 8:30 p.m. he was buying his girlfriend dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Lafayette.

On February 22, a woman flagged down an Opelousas Police Officer on patrol and said she believed her mother was sexually assaulted. The victim had suffered several strokes and couldn’t speak very well, and because of lingering paralysis on one side of her body she needed help with daily living activities. She told her daughter she was walking to the store when a white man with white hair drove past in a silver, four-door car. He pulled over to talk to her, then dragged her into the vehicle and took her to an abandoned lot off the Interstate. He sexually assaulted her, cut her feeding tube, and then took her back to where he picked her up and dropped her off.
