Richard Dobeski was ordered released from the LaPorte County Jail this week after serving his time. And the warning for parents from police is to keep kids away from him, according to the Long Beach Police Department.

Dobeski was 16 and already had a hisotyry of child molesting when he strangled next door neighbors Shawn and Cary Johnston, who were six and three years old respectively. Dobeski was released in 2003.

I sure hope they have considered Richard Dobeski in the murder of the two Indiana teens and investigated him and his whereabouts.
