Member of The Ripper Crew, whose members were accused of rape, torture & murder, will be released after serving half of his prison

[Sugar Cookie]

A member of a satanic cult, whose members were accused of rape, torture and murder, will be released later this month after serving half of his prison sentence.

The Elmhurst Police Department announced on Facebook Tuesday that Thomas Kokoraleis, 59, will be released from the Illinois River Correctional Center on Friday, March 29, after serving half of his 70-year prison sentence for the abduction, rape and murder of 21-year-old Lorraine “Lorry” Ann Borowski. Police believe he and his brothers, plus two other men, were responsible for the murder of up to 20 women during the 1980s.

His brother, Andrew Kokoraleis, received the death penalty and was executed by lethal injection in 1999 before it was abolished in Illinois. Two other men connected to the murders are still behind bars, with one eligible for parole in 2042.

Due to Illinois sentencing laws at the time, Kokoraleis was eligible for day-to-day credit for good behavior.

The Kokoraleis brothers and the two other men were part of the satanic cult group known as the “Ripper Crew.” According to the Chicago Tribune, the group was known to stalk the streets of Chicago, and the suburbs, in a red van looking for women to kidnap, beat, rape, torture and kill. The Tribune said the group members would cut off their victims’ breasts as part of a cannibalistic ritual.

Borowski was kidnapped outside the real estate office where she worked. She was then tortured, raped and murdered in May 1982.

The police department said every officer and detective who worked the case has retired, but the pain the case caused the community still remains.

“Understanding that the parole of this killer causes much pain and grief, please know that we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Borowski family, friends, and Elmhurst community, and know that the Elmhurst Police Department stand with you during this difficult time,” the department said on Facebook.

None of them should've ever been released.

This guy needs to be cremated or dissolved in acid alive.

 

[Fellofftheporch]

Look at those eyebrows! And he so had a combover in the first pic... all the extra hair went to his eyebrows.

 

[cubby]

He'll be back in the news, i'm sure it won't be because he's such a wonderful fellow.

 

[Prettypink513]

I remember when I first read about this. It's so disturbing

 

[JackBurton]

While everyone bitches and conspiracy theorizes and cries about an innocent man receiving justice in Chicago, an ACTUAL criminal and scumbag has been given parole despite his role in sadistic, brutal torture, rape, and murders. Sickening that society's thirst for a man to be persecuted for being black and gay while also a crime victim has ruled the media focus, allowing this shit to slip under the radar.

Illinois is truly a disgusting, fucked up place with a downright cruel justice system, allowing this shithead back on the streets to kill again while also going out of its way to ruin a victims good name.

Chicago-area satanic 'Ripper Crew' murderer Thomas Kokoraleis paroled after 37 years in prison

A member of the infamous satanic gang known as the Ripper Crew that kidnapped, raped, mutilated and murdered as many as 20 women in the Chicago area in the early 1980s was released from an Illinois prison on Friday.

CHICAGO — A member of the infamous satanic gang known as the Ripper Crew that kidnapped, raped, mutilated and murdered as many as 20 women in the Chicago area in the early 1980s was released from an Illinois prison on Friday.
Thomas Kokoraleis, 58, spent 35 years in prison for his part in the slaying of 21-year-old Lorry Ann Borowski, a real estate office receptionist who was snatched by the sadistic gang outside her workplace in 1982 before being raped, mutilated and murdered.

okoraleis was initially sentenced to life in prison but the original conviction was overturned due to legal error. He later pleaded guilty to Borowski’s murder and was re-sentenced to 70 years in prison. Guidelines in Illinois at the time of his sentencing rewarded inmates, even violent felons, for good behavior and that led to his prison time being cut in half.

The men abducted, sexually abused and mutilated the women and used parts of their bodies in satanic rituals, prosecutors alleged during the trial. Several of the victims were found with one or both breasts severed, prosecutors said.

What i dont understand is why they arent going after him for the other murders. These fucks killed 20 broads, he pled guilty to ONE of them in return for light sentence and for proscutoers to drop a charge for one more, taht still should leave plenty the State could rreturn and prosecute him for. Absurd how little Illinois cares about crime victims.

From @The Night Nurse link on the "Shoutbox"

Ripper Crew killer Thomas Kokoraleis is set to graduate from Wayside program in Aurora, has no plans to leave

Ask Thomas Kokoraleis if he ever thought he’d graduate from Wayside Cross Ministries’ Master’s Touch program in Aurora, and he’ll readily admit there were times he wanted to give up.

It’s a tough curriculum, residents and staff have told me. There’s lots of homework. And all those Bible verses are difficult to master, especially for a “slow learner,” as Kokoraleis will readily describe himself.

....

“Right now he is loving life, loving others and loving God.”

While Kokoraleis admits he still struggles with some of those Bible verses, it’s that hard work and spiritual commitment that have won over his mentors and teachers, who often describe him as an inspiration to others there.

So fucking inspiriting.

If you need a quick history of the Ripper Crew Killing here's a link.

So, this sick fucktard not only murdered women, but cut their breast off with a wire garotte and ate their flesh, so basically a cannibal. Now he is some born-again fuck that memorized some damn bible verses. I fucking guess that makes up for all the fucking torture, murder, and intense pain he inflicted on those poor, terrified, helpless young woman.

Thomas "Yea, I'm not allowed to be part of cult that tortures women and eats their breasts anymore, so I joined a different cult" Kokoraleis

 

[Stebot]

So fucking inspiriting.

Yet totally disgusting

 

[Sejanus]

Form Home Depot Cult and dismantle him with power tools after pinning him to a wall with a nailgun.
Introduce him to some modern spun olde timey religion!

 

[JackBurton]

Still have not been able to uncover why he hasnt been prosecuted for any of the other murders/crimes. He was incarcerated for pleaing to one of em.

Was it a situation where they stupidly agreed to drop all other charges if he pled guilty? Pretty fucking foolish if so. Scumbag trash lawyers
