NATIONAL BRIEFING / MICHIGAN
A San Diego woman captured last year after escaping from a Michigan prison in 1976 and living as a suburban mother will be released from the original sentence that put her behind bars, a state parole board ruled.
Susan LeFevre will be freed May 19, but her behavior in prison will be monitored for misconduct until that date, said Russ Marlan, a spokesman for the Department of Corrections. “If there is significant misconduct, they’ll revisit the case,” he said.
LeFevre, 54, escaped after serving about 14 months of a 10-year drug sentence. She made her way to California, married and raised a family in San Diego.
