An admitted rapist and murderer of a woman 30 years ago will be back before the state parole board on Thursday, asking for an early release from prison as the victim’s daughter once again fights to keep him behind bars.This will be Gerald Craffey's third time before the parole board as he once again seeks his freedom after he pleaded guilty to aggravated rape and second-degree murder.“It's tiring,” said Courtney Stenstrom, who is now older than her mother, Corinne Flynn, was when she was raped and stabbed to death at the age of 33 in their Hyde Park home. Flynn had Multiple Sclerosis and walked with a cane when she was killed. The 1991 crime remained unsolved for four years until DNA linked the killing to Craffey, who was a friend of the family.“He did the crime and then he still hung out with our family, and no one had any inkling,” Stenstrom said.The guilty plea to second degree murder made Craffey eligible for parole. Stenstrom said it was a plea her grandmother agreed to at the time to spare her, the victim’s young daughter, from having to testify at a trial.“She basically did it for me,” Stenstrom said. “But I also don't think that she knew that we'd be doing this now.”The last time Craffey appeared before the parole board was five years ago. At that hearing, he said, “I have no excuses for murdering Corinne Flynn.”5 Investigates asked Stenstrom what it’s like to think about the possibility of Craffey getting out of prison. “I sort of hope it just never happens,” she said. “And so I sort of believe it will never happen.”Her husband, Scott Stenstrom, started a petition online to try to convince the board to deny Craffey parole. So far, it has more than 25,000 signatures.“It's terrible what her family has to go through,” he said. “And the public doesn't want this guy on the street, obviously, but the parole board has to realize this and not parole him.”A decision by the parole board after Thursday's hearing is not expected for a few months.
