If the parole board doesn't consider the risk factors from their own studies on what makes parolees likely to commit homicide after release doesn't it seem reasonable that they should change the system and start considering that?
I also think it's hilarious you started your post with "I'm not ignoring anything" and selectively removed from the quote my last paragraph where I asked you why you're ignoring my question about how many convictions and/or violent crimes you think is a reasonable number for release. Because imo if this guy violated parole/orders 20+ times in the past (as per chemgear's quote above) I dont know why society should give him another chance.

You edited your post to add the last paragraph. I answered it right after. I do agree that this is a systemic failure. I already said as much. That doesn't mean his last release was not appropriate.
I'm not arguing what should have happened in a perfect world, just what should happen under the justice system as it is now.
I hope they find him soon. We all agree on that.
