Busick pleads guilty in 1999 Welch murder cases

Ronnie Dean Busick has plead guilty to accessory to the first degree murders of two adults and two teenage girls in Welch, Oklahoma, back in 1999.
The 68-year-old was first charged with murder, arson and kidnapping in the deaths of Danny and Kathy Freeman, their 16-year-old daughter Ashley, and her best friend Lauria Bible. He has been in the Craig County Jail in Vinita for over the past two years.
He’ll spend ten years in prison then five years under supervised release, unless he gives information that leads to the recovery of the two teenage girls’ remains. If so, he would then only spend five years in prison and five years of supervised release.
