Nightmare On Hickory St. Murders Snitch Getting Out Of Prison

JOLIET, IL - Back in November 2014, Joliet Patch reported that a 20-year-old Joliet woman who snitched her way out of the Nightmare on Hickory Street murders would regain her freedom in slightly more than three years. That day is almost here. Next week, convict Alisa Massaro could return back to society, perhaps Joliet. Online records at the Illinois Department of Corrections show that Massaro's parole date is Feb. 23, 2018. Department of Corrections records indicate that Massaro was convicted of robbery. She was admitted into the penal system on May 23, 2014. She turns 24 in two weeks.

In May 2014, Patch reported that Massaro drew a 10-year prison term that gave her good time credit and meant she would be out of prison in another three years and eight months. Patch previously reported that Alisa Massaro, along with Bethany McKee, 20, Josh Miner, 26, and Adam Landerman, 21, all were charged with the January 2013 murders of 22-year-olds Terrance Rankins and Eric Glover. Massaro and McKee lured them to Massaro's Hickory Street nightmare house, according to police reports.

After the killings, Josh Miner and Alissa Massaro had sex atop the dead men's bodies. Miner and his friends hatched the scheme to rip off Rankins and Glover because they were broke and wanted to buy cigarettes and alcohol, a Will County prosecutor revealed at McKee's trial.

Massaro was the only one who received a lenient sentence as part of her plea bargain with prosecutors. She agreed to testify for the prosecution against her three fellow codefendants. Massaro's codefendants were eventually convicted and they received life prison terms for their crimes.

As for the high-profile Joliet murder case's snitch, she has been serving her short prison term in Logan at the Logan Correctional Center.

At this stage, it's unclear where Massaro will decide to live upon her upcoming release from the DOC. Joliet Patch will continue to bring you any pertinent updates in the days ahead as more information becomes known.
