nsecutive life sentences.

 It hit right away when it said the Office of Victim Services and programs to receive notification regarding the above-named defendant's consideration for parole,  Gelden said.  It made me sick. It brought back everything, all of the emotions. All the sadness and all the turmoil, and it destroyed my family. 

 He's got a grip on us because now he decides when I will be having these feelings and have to go through all this,  Gelden said.

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections says Sabin - who is now 62 - is scheduled to make his case before the Parole Commission in October. The department said:  Individuals who have reached their parole eligibility date are entitled to an interview. That does not mean, however, they are entitled to release. 

After seeing previous TMJ4 reporting on Spriggie Hensley - convicted of 2 murders in Kenosha County and released on parole last year - Bob is calling on everyone he knows to urge the Parole Commission not to grant the same to Sabin.

 I do believe there's always a chance. I want to make sure that he does not get out. I'm concerned for the safety of the community.  Gelden said.  We need to be safe, and we need him to stay in prison. 

Bob is joined by Scott Wyosnick, a juror from the trial that convicted Sabin. Wyosnick also wrote a letter asking the Parole Commission to deny Sabin's release.

 I still see the images of John and Donna. It might be two pictures that flash into my mind. That's enough for me that he should serve every minute.  Wyosnick said.

 I felt that he should not see the light of day. And I still stand by that today.  Wyosnick said.

Bob believes no victim should have to go through this process and fears others may not know they will one day be in his family's position.

 I would love to see them make life mean life retroactive. That's not going to happen. I wish I had an answer to that because I know they're feeling the same pain we're feeling.  Gelden said.

TMJ4 reached out to Dean Sabin to request an interview and has not heard back. The Geldens hope he sees this story and declines the upcoming parole interview out of respect for their family.
