And today we're exploring the infamous killers across the world who were released from prison following a conviction.

We'll also be including criminals who were sentenced for a different offense and were released before becoming murderers.

I think that she expected to get me locked up and that she was going to walk away and go home.

In 1978, Larry Carrier was murdered following an argument over a parking space that escalated the killer.

Eleven years later, he was out on parole.

Despite that, instead of changing his ways, Bomar was called back to prison on various charges.

In 1996, Amy Willard, a student at Virginia's George Mason University, was assaulted and killed.

The person that hurt Amy and took Amy has no idea what they've done.

I mean, she was such an integral, vital part of life.

For a while, the police had no one to charge.

DNA was taken from him that matched the culprit behind Willard's murder.

Forensics compares Bomar's DNA profile to to semen taken from the victim's body.

On December 10, 1997, Bomar is charged with murder in the first degree, an offense for which the state announces it will seek the death penalty.

This case caused Amy's law to take effect in 2000, which places responsibility on states to keep violent criminals locked up.

Marceline Harvey is suspected of murdering and dismembering the victim.

In 2022, a grisly discovery was made following Susan Layden's remains being located in New York City.

This led the authorities to her flatmate Harvey, who had a long and violent criminal history.

Now a trans woman, she'd been convicted twice of taking lives.

Jacqueline Bonds in 1963 and Anna Miranda in 1985.

After combined sentences reaching nearly 55 years inside, Harvey was released on parole in 2019 due to her advanced age of 81.

The investigation found CCTV footage of Harvey standing up from her motorized scooter in a store, seemingly showing her sitting on the evidence of the Laden crime.

While she has confirmed her responsibility in killing Bonds and Miranda, Harvey has denied being behind Layden's murder.

Marceline has maintained her innocence in his case, but has admitted to the first two murders Katherine Wood.

After meeting at the Alpine Manor nursing home in Walker, Michigan as nurses aides, Wood and Gwendolyn Graham quickly morphed from colleagues to friends to lovers to accomplices as they took the residents lives to seemingly impress each other in 1987.

Within a month, the duo murdered five people.

In 1988, after they'd broken up, Wood confessed to her ex husband about the crimes, who went to the cops.

As part of a plea deal, Wood turned on Graham and claimed her former partner was the killer while she was a lookout.

No matter what a jury found and no matter what appellate judges have ruled, Graham and Wood were both nurses aides at what was then Alpine Manor nursing home in Walker in the late 1980s.

While Graham was sentenced to five life sentences for the murders, Wood received between 20 and 40 years.

In 2020, Wood was granted parole and released from prison.

Neighbors on alert as a serial killer moves in next door.

In 1985, while most of the citizens in the former nation of Czechoslovakia, modern day Czechia, were preparing celebrations for the gymnastic event Spartakiad, Straka, a teenager, had other more deadly plans.

Throughout Prague, he began assaulting and robbing women, eventually leading to him taking their lives too.

After one surviving victim spoke to the police about what happened, Stracha was arrested and charged with taking three lives due to being a minor.

While committing the atrocious crimes, Stracha escaped capital punishment and instead received the maximum sentence of 10 years, which he spent a portion of in a psychiatric hospital.

In 2004, Straka was released, later changing his name, moving to another town and staying away from crime.

Brown David Aikman, better known as Stringbean, was a popular musician and comedian who was in entertainment for decades, including being a cast member of the TV show Hee Haw.

However, in 1973, Stringbean and his wife Estelle were killed during a robbery at their home in Ridgetop, Tennessee.

After hearing that the couple had a stash of cash in their cabin, cousins John and Marvin Brown ambushed them when they returned, taking their lives.

The Browns were convicted, earning them both two life sentences in jail.

In 2003, Marvin passed away from natural causes.

In 1973, he was convicted of murdering OPRY member David Stringbeam Aikman and his wife estelle.

News Channel 5's Andrea Klein Thomas was there as he was released from prison and tells us what's next.

Yeah, just to put it into perspective, the last time John Brown was free.

In 2014, after serving 41 years, John was released.

Despite outrage from Stringbean and Estelle's friends and family.

Today, John Brown was released from prison despite being sentenced to 198 years.

He left jail inside this white van, a free man.

The brothers who witnessed Nashville history together say it's a disgrace.

In 1960, while serving with his sister in Tecumseh, Michigan, Lucas got into an argument when his mother visited.

It quickly escalated when she allegedly struck him, leading to Lucas taking her life before running away.

He was eventually tracked down and sentenced to 40 years in jail.

However, in 1970, after stints in psychiatric hospitals, Lucas was released due to overcrowding at the prison.

From here, he would go on to meet Ottis Toole, committing murders together as Lucas was handed the moniker of the Confession Killer for claiming to have taken hundreds of lives, which he later recanted and I'll even admit to the crime.

Nicknamed the Confession Killer, Lucas was convicted of multiple murders, earning him the death penalty, which was later changed to life imprisonment.

Investigators say convicted serial killer Henry Lee Lucas confessed to killing.

A Netflix documentary profiled his killing spree, but

he later recanted many of his confessions and died in prison.

In 1988, Gravano graduated to an underboss in New York City's Gambino crime family.

However, in 1990, he, along with others in the family, including boss John Gotti, was arrested following an investigation by the FBI alongside other charges, the authorities had overheard via a wiretap that Gotti confessed to several murders.

And however, the tapes also featured Gotti insulting Gravano, causing the underboss to turn state's evidence against his former leader.

During the trial, Gravano confessed to being involved in 19 murders.

However, having already served four years in prison, Gravano was released after a year.

However, in 2002, he was sentenced to 20 years for substance trafficking before being released again in 2017.

That's against our rules, our principles.

We would never get away with something like that.

He was convicted for a murder he committed at just 10 years old.

And John Venables was convicted again as an adult.

In 1993, James Bulger vanished from a shopping center in Bootle England.

It soon emerged that the people responsible for this horrible crime were Thompson and Venables, who were are spotted on CCTV leading Bulger away from the center.

The duo became one of the youngest convicted murderers in UK history, earning them an indefinite sentence in jail.

In 2001, they were released after turning 18, having their identities concealed.

But Venables was back behind bars in 2010 after indecent images of children were found on his computer.

Just one of the reasons why in May this year, James Bulger's mother argued he he shouldn't get parole.

However, in 2010, Venables was arrested for violating his parole by possessing indecent material, earning him a two year sentence.
