Drake parole bid looms over Florida murder case
The Reeders urge the parole board to keep Drake jailed after a 1984 sentence for rape, noting he was released after 15 months of a five year term and later killed Miss Reeder in Clearwater. Prosecutors, including Bruce Bartlett, press for continued confinement amid Florida parole law changes. The family recalls the trauma, seeks justice, and recounts past hearings and the victim’s memory.
