March 2, 1986, My mother, Rebecca Jean Beard was brutally murdered by Paul Gayland Taylor jr. He has stated he buried in a shallow grave in Angleton, Texas. Despite years of search efforts, her body has remained unfound. Paul Taylor confessed to the murder in 1995. He was given a Life sentence. However, due to the laws of 1986, he is eligible to come up for parole. He is currently under review for parole and has come up for parole every two years. He is also serving time for two DWIs and Soliciting Capitol Murder. These charges do not include his lengthy criminal history. My family has pled with this man to give us the location of my mother's body, but he has yet to do so. He does not need to be released from prison. There is nothing positive this man could add to society. The thought of him walking the streets, as a free man, feels like a knife in my heart.  I am asking that Paul Taylor's Parole/Mandatory Supervision be DENIED and that he also be given the maximum sentence of 3 years. My family has been through enough, and to be revictimized by the justice system every two years is excruciatingly painful. We do not have my mother's body to lay at rest. We do not have a place to bring her flowers on her birthday or Mother's day. He took away every possible memory I could have made with my mother. In some aspect he ruined a huge portion of my life. A mother is a very crucial person to a child, and he murdered mine 18 days before my third birthday. I have started this petition, in hopes to make you, The Parole Board Members aware, that we as society, feel threatened by this man being free. Again, I am asking that Paul Taylor's parole be denied and requesting he be given the maximum time before coming up for parole again.
