Judge William Crane
In 1976 the woman climbed a fence and escaped. Judge Crane said he is convinced that the woman's grandfather helped with that escape. LeFevre made her way to California where she changed her name and eventually married a dentist, became an upstanding citizen and raised a family. Susan LeFevre had become Marie Walsh.
In March 2008 police were tipped off to LeFever/Walsh's current location and status. She one time fugitive was arrested and returned to Michigan.
Judge William Crane drew the case. He studied the transcripts and history of the original trial and determined that there was no error for him to overturn. He also talked to the parole board and learned that they would like the case in their system. Based on those facts the case was turned over.
Crane read several news articles from the recent case, most of which came down on LeFevre/Walsh's side. He also read some blog entries.
LeFevre/Walsh was eventually released to return to her second life. She has since appeared on the Oprah show and is working on a book.
