Lorna Anderson Moore will be paroled from prison.
The Kansas Parole Board decided today that she could be paroled to what is termed an “approved plan,” and then will be released. Her release date will be determined after the plan is approved. Her earliest release date for this parole period was Feb. 1st.
“When she has that approved plan, then she’ll be released,” said Colene Fischli, parole board administrator. “I would say it would be some time within the next couple of weeks or so.”
Moore has been serving sentences for criminal solicitation in the death of Sandy Bird, wife of former Emporia minister Thomas P. Bird, and for second-degree murder in the death of her husband, Martin Anderson.
Fischli said that Moore’s standard conditions of release include reporting to her parole officer, obeying the law, not having weapons and not using drugs, among other basic conditions.
“But the special conditions are programmatic in nature and therefore cannot be disclosed,” Fischli said.
The release plan will be developed by Moore and her unit team counselor.
According to state law, the inmate under consideration by the parole board must be the first to be notified when parole has been granted, Fischli said. Moore received her notification today.
