Breaking News: John Horton Denied Parole

On Oct. 23, John Horton’s parole was denied and won’t be eligible again until Nov. 1, 2023 according to former Prairie Village police investigator Kyle Shipps. This means he will not be released from prison.

John Horton was a janitor at East who killed 13 year-old Liz Wilson in 1974. Shipps began to look into the cold case in 2001 and tracked down old leads that led to new evidence which allowed for the case to be reopened. Horton was charged in 2003 for first-degree murder.

In 2004, he was convicted and sentenced to life with eligibility for parole after 15 years.

If you can’t find senior Elizabeth Ballew in the j-room, you might want to double check the sonic at 107th and Roe and try to find the Rav-4 playing early Taylor Swift songs at a reasonable level (she doesn’t blare her music, what a loser). This will be Elizabeth’s third year of pulling out her hair at writer’s deadline and of course highly productive gossip sessions every class period. While it’s certainly debatable if Elizabeth has a life outside of room 521, she is involved with IB program and doodles a bit. She is so excited for this year (almost too excited, chill please) and is ready to help new staffers grow and make the most of her senior year. »
