SALEM, Ore. — Oregon’s Department of Corrections mistakenly released a murderer this week who killed a 16-year-old girl in 1993.
Marc Trice, who himself was a teenager at the time he killed Sandra Lee Raph in La Grande, has been serving time in the state prison system ever since 1994, and he’s due for release and post-prison supervision this coming September.
But a snafu on the part of prison staff at the Oregon State Penitentiary allowed him to be released to the general public Monday, and Trice moved to an approved address in Washington County to begin his new life.
