Help needed to keep criminal in prison

Note: This message was sent by Johnny Bonds, a legendary Houston P.D. homicide detective. After he retired from the Houston P.D., he went on to serve as an investigator for the Harris County DA's Office. He retired from that job to battle cancer. A book was written about Johnny and the Wanstrath murder case in 1983 entitled, The Cop who Wouldn't Quit. Johnny still hasn’t quit. – Barbara Schwartz

Today I learned that Michael Lee Davis (aka Walter a. Waldhauser Jr.) TDCJ ID # 00933173 is being considered for parole again.  The last time they paroled him he legally changed his name, got a law degree, an insurance brokers license and proceeded to steal over $5 million dollars from investors in an insurance scam.  None of this money was recovered nor returned to the victims, Some were retirees and lost their entire life savings. The money is in offshore numbered accounts waiting for him when he is released. Nice retirement plan. Who says crime doesn't pay?
    He was convicted in 2000 for insurance fraud and money laundering and received 6 life sentences( see www.dallasobserver.com/2000-06-08/news/bad-business/).
His previous crimes include:
* 1974 cap murder of Trudy Zabolio
* 1979 cap murder of John Wanstrath
* 1979 cap murder of Dianna Wanstrath
* 1979 cap murder of Kevin Wanstrath,  a 14 month old infant asleep in his crib when he was shot in the head
* 1980 conspiracy to commit cap murder of a friend he was insuring for $1 million dollars listing himself as a beneficiary
    Oh yea, he was also trying to get someone to kill me.  He did not act alone in these crimes. Two co-defendants, Markham Duff-Smith and Allen Janecka both received death sentences and have been executed. 
Waldhauser cut a deal back in 1981. He confessed and agreed to testify against the other defendants in exchange for a reduction in charges and a 30 year sentence. He never testified and only served 9 of his 30 years before being paroled in 1990. When he was convicted in 2000, his parole was revoked and he will discharge that 30 year sentence in the next couple of months.
The 6 life sentences he received in 2000 were for non-violent crimes, no weapon was used and no one was killed or physically injured.
These offenders are considered for parole almost immediately.  Under parole board guidelines he first came up for parole again in 2005. There was a public outcry with several people (including yours truly) as cheerleaders. As a result his next parole review was delayed for 5 years (normally he is reviewed every year).
Davis/Waldhauser) then sued 5 of us in federal court for interfering with his parole. Luckily the case was thrown out.  I suspect he filed the lawsuit to make us think twice about messing with his parole again but I will continue to protest his parole until one of us is dead.  I have been battling cancer for almost 3 years. I believe one reason God is keeping me alive is to make sure Davis dies in prison.
    Now the real purpose of this message: If you think this monster should stay in prison and have a few minutes to express your feelings, please send them to:
