Parole Denied to Man Convicted of Kidnapping

One of seven people charged in the disappearance and death of a western Kentucky woman has lost his first bid for parole.

The Kentucky Parole Board rejected Zachary Finley’s bid for release just months into his five-year sentence for kidnapping and perjury. Finley was involved in the slaying of 21-year-old CaSondra Evrard in December 2010. Evrard was found dead in a creek bed with stab wounds.

Of the six people charged in the case, four pleaded guilty, a jury convicted one and one is scheduled for trial in January.

Whitney grew up listening to Car Talk to and from her family’s beach vacation each year, but it wasn’t until a friend introduced her to This American Life that radio really grabbed her attention. She is a recent graduate from Union University in Jackson, Tenn., where she studied journalism. When she’s not at WKMS, you can find her working on her backyard compost pile and garden, getting lost on her bicycle or crocheting one massive blanket.
