Busick Released From Prison

 

 The only survivor of three men accused of kidnapping and murdering two Picher, Oklahoma teens twenty years ago has been released from jail.

 Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokeswoman Kay Thompson says Ronnie Busick was released at 6:45 this morning. Thompson says Busick was taken to a bus station, but did not say the destination on the ticket.

 Busick was convicted in the kidnapping and the killing of Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible, and the murders of Ashley’s parents in December of 1999. Lauria and Ashley’s remains have never been found.

 Phil Welch, Jr. and David Pennington both died before going to trial. Busick says he can’t remember where their bodies were dumped.

 Lorene Bible was one of the protesters at the prison this morning when Busick was released. She says she doesn't believe him, and she will never stop looking for her daughter’s remains.
