As families of slain SeaTac tavern workers anxiously fear the approved summer release of triple murderer Timothy Pauley, the killer鈥檚 former prison cellmate told The Dori Monson Show that Pauley is 鈥渘ot an evil person鈥� and should be freed.

This comes in stark contrast to what Dori and his listeners heard in recent interviews with Kelley Tarp. Her father, Loran Dowell, was shot in the head next to his business partner, Bob Pierre, by Pauley during a robbery at the Barn Door Tavern in June 1980. Tarp鈥檚 mother was one of two women who survived after being tortured and hung in a restroom. Pauley and his partner escaped with $1,500.

The 42-year-old case is back in the news after the approved a summer release for Pauley – despite repeated pleas from victims鈥� families to keep him locked up.

Dori: Triple killer to be released unless Gov. Inslee overrules parole board

It鈥檚 a parole board decision that can only be overruled by Gov. Jay Inslee. His communications advisor wrote Dori that 鈥渢he governor expects to make a decision in the near future on this matter.鈥�

In response, Dori interviewed Dave Reichert, former King County Sheriff and retired U.S. congressman Dave Reichert 鈥� and one of the original detectives on the case yesterday.

That鈥檚 what prompted Gary Alexander, who served time with Pauley at Washington state鈥檚 McNeil Island Corrections Center in聽1989, to reach out to Dori.

鈥淭he characterization that Pauley was receiving by Mr. Reichert 鈥� I felt he wasn鈥檛 getting, I don鈥檛 know how to say it, getting a fair shake, but at least a fair look at the person he is today,鈥� Alexander said.

鈥淭his one struck home. I know this guy. I know the person he is today. I know the person he was about eight years after the crime was committed,鈥� Alexander continued. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not okay to say that he is comparable to a serial killer.鈥�

With Dori on Monday, Reichert drew similarities among his investigation interviews with serial rapist/killer Ted Bundy, Green River killer Gary Ridgeway and Pauley.

鈥淗e (Pauley) has the same attitude toward life, toward someone else鈥檚 life,鈥� Reichert told Dori. 鈥淎ll three were cowards.鈥�

鈥淭he crime speaks for itself . . . I get that,鈥� Alexander said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 horrendous what happened. But I know from a first-hand account from living with the guy how he feels.鈥�

How does Pauley feel? Dori asked.

鈥淭he guy feels horrible about it. He regrets it every day,鈥� Alexander said. His life behind bars, according to Alexander, shows 鈥渉e has done nothing but try to overcome that day in every way possible.鈥�

Refusing to release Pauley 鈥渨ould imply he can鈥檛 do any good out here, that he can鈥檛 be a positive influence out here,鈥� argued Alexander, who has now finished serving his own sentence for first-degree armed robbery. 鈥淚 credit this guy for my success. When I first came in, he was the one who re-routed me, showed me how to survive a very violent environment.鈥�

What about the victims鈥� family members? Dori asked.

鈥淗e鈥檚 devastated these family members,鈥� Dori told Pauley. In his most recent conversation with Kelley Tarp, 鈥渟he was on the brink of being distraught. I believe seeking redemption in a good thing, but he (Pauley) needs to do it behind bars for the rest of his life.

鈥淚 think there is a huge difference between being redeemed vs. walking free,鈥� Dori continued. 鈥淭here are certain things that society should not be redemptive of on this earth and in this life.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to argue. I鈥檒l give you that,鈥� Alexander said, adding that he served time with 鈥渉einous murderers who should never walk the earth free again.鈥�

Pauley, he believes, 鈥渁cted in the moment, impulsively, without the cognitive ability to disseminate what he was getting into at the time.鈥�

After serving his sentence, Dori told Alexander, 鈥淵ou have deserved this shot of freedom . . . I鈥檓 all for it for you. I鈥檓 just not for it for Timothy Pauley.鈥�

But his former 鈥渃ellie,鈥� Alexander said, 鈥渄oesn鈥檛 want that one singular moment to define him for the rest of his life.鈥�

For the Dowell and Tarp families, Dori countered, 鈥渢hat singular moment has had a lifetime effect.鈥�
