Hide AdWhere is Jens Soering now
Soering claimed he made a false confession to protect Haysom, though he was given two counts of first degree murder in 1990 and then sentenced to two consecutive life sentences.
Following his jailing, he was denied parole requests a whole 14 times before he was finally granted parole in 2019 - almost 20 years after his conviction. He was given parole due to the "youth at the time of the offences" and "institutional adjustment and the length of their incarceration".
It was further claimed that his release did "not pose a public safety risk to the community". Following Soeing's release, he was deported back to Germany though, according to an article in The Washington Post, he is barred from returning to America and contact the victim's family - including Haysom.
So where is Soering in 2023? The German still proclaims his innocence and recently wanted to turn his imprisonment into a motivational speech that focus on resilience.

Haysom was incarcerated in Virginia and first became eligible for parole in 1995, and submitted a parole request every three years thereafter - though, like Soering, this was denied until 2019, however, she was not pardoned. The same reasons given for Soeing's release were given for Haysom's parole being granted.

Following her release, she was deported back to her home country of Canada in 2020 that is the last information publicly available.
