Roxie Ann Keathley
This monster raped and killed a 9-year-old little girl. He received 2 life sentences, but has a parole hearing coming up in March. However, I would love to see that he does not ever receive parole. I do not believe that society will be better with him in it. In fact, I think it will not be safe with him out in free society. He should never ever step one foot outside of that prison. I personally believe he should have received the death penalty, but when this happened, the death penalty had been stopped. So, he should not get out. Period. The crime was horrendous and the community has never forgotten.
Here is a letter that I have drawn up for the parole board. You are welcome to use it. I urge everyone to send in a letter (email, fax, mail) opposing his parole. Remember Roxie. Think of her loved ones who still love and miss her. Think of the community who deserves justice for this heinous crime. Papp Parole Letter
**Update** 3/17/2013
Timothy Papp was denied parole! He was given a rehearing date of March 2018. Thank you to everyone who sent in letters.

I was a classmate of Roxie Ann. I have followed this case since I was ten years old. I have even written a letter to the parole board but have too afraid to mail it to them. I still cry from the horror and lost of innocence my community suffered in 1973. I thought that I was alone. I lived down the street from the Keathley family and the Papp family. That monster could have taken any of us kids. I still pray for Roxie’s family. Please, please don’t release this monster. I only wish that I was more brave. I know that I should do more. I have reached out to the prosecutor from back then, a kind gentleman who was brave for the rest of us. I thank him for his comforting words. What can I do to help? I have been saving everything I could find on this case. I want to help. Please let me know.
Roxie would have been 49 years old on February 11th. We were born exactly one year and one month apart. I celebrate my birthdays for her too. Gone but never forgotten.
