A Roane County High School graduate, who was part of the Charles Manson cult, has been recommended for parole in California.

Bruce Davis moved to California in the 1960s. He would follow serial killer Charles Manson.

In the early 1970s, Davis was convicted on two counts of first-degree murder.

The former Roane County resident was recommended for parole at his 27th parole hearing last week.

Davis' attorney said his client has earned several religious degrees while in jail.  Davis wants to become a minister once he is released.

The car belonged to a member of Chuck Fleischmann's campaign staff.
