Parole might be granted for a man who kept a woman locked in a box in Red Bluff nearly every day for 7 years. In 1977 Cameron Hooker kidnapped Colleen Stan. He raped her repeatedly, tortured her, and kept her locked inside a wooden box for most of each day and night until she escaped in 1984. She had been allowed to occasionally walk free after signing a “slave contract”. She was told that a shadowy organization called “The Company” would hunt her down if she tried to escape. Hooker is also suspected of killing Marie Spannhake, whose body was never found. He was sentenced to more than a hundred years behind bars, but in a move to relieve prison overcrowding, a 3-judge panel in 2014 made it possible for inmates to get paroled if they’re over the age of 60 and have served at least 25 consecutive years. A parole board denied parole for Hooker in 2015, partly because of his possession of sadistic bondage pornography in prison. Now he might be released next month. Tehama County D.A. Matt Rogers is bringing a civil suit in hopes of getting Hooker declared a sexually violent predator, which would make it easier to keep him behind bars.
