A member of the so-called "Monfils 6" was released Tuesday morning.

Rey Moore was granted parole and released from prison in Waupun. Moore was convicted for First Degree Intentional Homicide - Party to a Crime for the death of Tom Monfils.

Moore was one of six men convicted of killing Monfils, whose body was found in a vat at a Green Bay paper mill in 1992. The "Monfils 6" were all convicted in 1995. As of Tuesday, two men remain behind bars.

Another member of the group, Michael Johnson, is scheduled to be released on parole Wednesday from Sanger B. Powers Correctional Center.

Keith Kutska is also one of the Monfils 6. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to hear Keith Kutska's appeal in his attempt to overturn his conviction. He will be eligible for parole in May 2021.

Another defendant, Michael Piaskowski, was released in 2001 after his conviction was overturned.

Michael Hirn was freed on parole in December. Dale Basten died in June 2018, nine months after being paroled for health reasons.

All the suspects denied killing Monfils.
