Hales was convicted in December 2014 of second-degree murder for Bosse’s death, along with the crime of offering an indignity to her remains for burning her body. His arrest came after a so-called ‘Mr. Big’ sting. Officers posed as criminals trying to recruit Hales, leading him to confess to them in the belief they could help him cover up the crime. 

Hales was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 15 years. He has been behind bars since 2008. His trial was delayed, including several occasions when Hales switched lawyers. The time served prior to his conviction counted toward parole eligibility.

Hales will be able to apply for day parole on Aug. 10, 2020 and will be eligible for full parole in 2023. Although not guaranteed, Muskego said it came as a surprise.

“I will have to quote my husband, he would say ‘You have to let justice prevail’. That’s his hope that everything would go the way it’s supposed to go,” she said.

Hales has filed an appeal of his murder conviction.
