The Itasca County Board of Commissioners officially opposed the parole of James Shane Swanson this week and recommended his continued incarceration.  The recommendation came during the county board’s work session on Tuesday, April 20. The board felt the release of Swanson “would create an extreme safety risk.”  Swanson was convicted of four counts of first degree murder and one count of kidnapping on Dec. 14, 1994. Swanson and his co-defendant admitted to the killing of Carin Streufert in Aitkin County in the early hours of June 14, 1991.  On June 14, 1991, Streufert, an 18-year-old college student, went to a Perkins Restaurant in Grand Rapids with some friends between 12:30 and 1 a.m. Around 2:45 a.m., Streufert departed. Although another friend offered her a ride home, Streufert decided to walk.
