ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) - The state parole board has delayed the potential release of a man convicted in 1976 of murder and kidnapping who went on to rape a Portland woman after being released in 1986.
The Daily Astorian reported (https://bit.ly/2jJIHkE ) Thursday that the parole board determined George Nulph suffers from a severe emotional disturbance and is a danger to the community. His eligibility for parole was deferred for two years at a January hearing.
Nulph was found guilty of abducting and killing Frances Christians in Cannon Beach in 1976. He was sentenced to life in prison but under a new sentencing system he was released 10 years later.
Nulph was sent back to prison shortly after his release for rape.
Attorney Michael DeMuniz represented Nulph before the parole board and declined to comment.
