Mike Rorschach, the father of murdered Mike Ratsio, was shocked to learn that his son's killer, Melissa Grasa, has been granted parole for her involvement in the 1993 murder of his son, Michael Grasa. The parole board ruled that she should be released 32 years after serving 20 years in prison. Mike Grasa had been trying to keep his former daughter-in-law, Melissa, behind bars for over a decade. The Ohio Parole Board ruled that Grasa's actions were manipulative and she should not have to happen. Michael Ratsios was shot in the head with a CROSSBOW in 1993 by his wife, Melissa. Both Grasa and her boyfriend, known as the "crossbow killers," were found guilty of murder and both were sentenced to life in prison respectively. In January, Melissa was granted parole after serving a 20-year prison term.
