Killer of Quincy Couple in 1997 Could be Released

The state is considering releasing Adam Betancourt who, along with three other teens, killed two Quincy residents in 1997.

In a report released by the Department of Corrections Indeterminate Sentence Review Board, they say that the now 40-year-old man is releasable having completed several rehabilitation programs and is not believed to be likely to re-offend.

Betancourt, at 16, broke into the home of an elderly Quincy couple with three others and shot them multiple times, even going back for bullets at one point.

Betancourt is asking to be released to Spokane where his fiancee lives, but not to her home, but rather a transition house.

He would be under house arrest for 90 days.
