Shoeshine killer Kribs - "Significantly psychopathic"

In the three decades since 12-year-old Emanuel Jaques was sexually abused, tortured and murdered in a seedy body rub parlour on Toronto's Yonge Street, the jailed killers have taken only one small step toward freedom. Robert Wayne Kribs (parole record above) and Saul David Betesh are now confined at a medium-security federal prison just west of Kingston, Ontario.
Kribs and Betesh are behind bars at Warkworth Institution near Campbellford, Ontario, after decades spent at maximum-security Kingston Penitentiary. The third man jailed in the killing, Josef Woods, died behind bars in 2003. Betesh has never sought parole in the 32 years since he was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1977 slaying that exposed Toronto's vile underworld of child sex, prostitution and pornography. Both Betesh and Kribs were sentenced to life in prison, with no chance of parole for 25 years. They reached that eligibility in 2002, but only Kribs agreed to meet the parole board. The full text of his only parole hearing, held in October 2002, appears above. The record reveals that Kribs, who turns 62 on June 6, has been a model inmate but that doesn't distract from his frightening sexual deviance.

...the psychiatrist indicates that you suffer from anti-social personality disorder and pedophilia, noting that you present as significantly psychopathic ... you pose a high risk for both sexual and violent re-offending. The psychiatrist concludes that he does not believe your risk to re-offend can be significantly reduced by any treatment which is currently available.

Kribs has spent three decades downplaying or ignoring his role in the sexual torture and murder of Emanuel, who was snatched off the street and taken to a flophouse where Kribs hung out with Betesh and Woods. The parole record documents his denial that he took part in the murder.

Kribs is eligible to seek parole every two years, now that he has passed his 25-year eligibility date. He could request a hearing at any time, because he waived his right to a hearing in 2008, 2006 and 2004. Betesh also could seek a hearing at any time, since he has waived his right to a hearing at every opportunity since 2002.
