Killer to be paroled to return to his native France

Tuesday, March 18, 2003 | 9:12 a.m.

CARSON CITY -- The state Parole Board said Monday it has agreed to release convicted murderer Joseph Alario on the condition that he return to his native France, where he would be under supervision.

Alario, 65, was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole in 1983 for killing a man in a drug transaction in Las Vegas. The sentence was later reduced to allow for parole. He is reportedly in poor health.

In other actions, the Parole Board denied the applications of Ethel Carrier and Teresa Walker, who were convicted of killing their husbands in Clark County in the 1980s.

Carrier has served more than 18 years for the 1981 decapitation murder of her husband, Floyd, in an alleged plot to collect on his insurance.
