SALINAS – The California Board of Parole, represented by two parole commissioners, denied parole for Harold Bicknell, who was convicted of the 1977 murders of four family members in Seaside.

Bicknell confronted his cousin Renee, seemingly about Renee exposing Bicknell’s sexual relationship with his 14-year-old girlfriend. According to Bicknell’s sworn testimony against his girlfriend, he cornered 15-year-old Renee in a bedroom and stabbed Renee in the area of her heart, causing her to fall on the bed. He then grabbed her bra and tied her hands behind her back because she began to struggle. Bicknell then stabbed her in the throat repeatedly while he held a gag over her mouth.
