Killer Of Ossining Woman, Mom In Pelham Paroled After 36 Years

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — The man who killed Ossining resident Theresa Carbone and her mother in Lois Feraca’s Pelham apartment in 1986 has been released from prison, The Journal News reported.

That July, Carbone, 49, was helping her 83-year-old mom recover from cataract surgery. Paul Leon, a 16-year-old who had often run errands for his neighbor, apparently got in an argument with Carbone, beat and stabbed her and then killed Feraca. He hid his bloody clothes and then pretended to discover the bodies, TJN said.

He was released Monday, two months after the two consecutive 25-year-to-life sentences imposed in 1986 were reduced. The judge and prosecutors agreed that the original sentence did not take his age into consideration as it was supposed to. He was considered a model inmate and was granted parole after his first interview in June.
