Word of Ronnie Busick's early release from prison hit the family of Laura Bible as hard as anyone would imagine it would.

Laura Bible and Ashley Freeman were 16 when they disappeared from the Freeman's home in 1999. It took close to two decades before any arrest. Ronnie Busick was convicted of accessory to murder in the shooting deaths of Danny and Kathy Freeman, burning their home and kidnapping and the presumed deaths of the girls.

The other two suspects, Phil Welch and David Pennington, died before they could face any charges. It's not fair. It's just a punch in the gut.

Lisa Broderick, Laura's cousin, is referring to investigators in the case. Busick's plea deal called for a 15-year sentence with 10 years to be served in prison. It also required he help investigators find the girl's remains. None of his information helped.

The family says they will continue to do what they do every day, search and follow tips that could lead to the girl's remains. Now, according to the Department of Corrections, Busick received credit for time served in county jail and also received accelerated credits, 60 days for every month served.

Earning accelerated credits is based on the crime committed, previous criminal history, and good behavior. The release also requires five years probation, one year of which is supervised. If you have tips that could help the family find the remains, we have a link at kjrh.com.
