Where Are Eli Weaver and Barbara Raber Now? Latest Status on Parole and Prison Terms
By Robert Thorne
Weaver served the bulk of his initial sentence at Marion Correctional Institution before his transfer to Grafton Correctional Institution in Lorain County, Ohio. Records from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) show Weaver completed vocational training programs and worked prison support details throughout his sentence.
When his mandatory 15-year statutory minimum elapsed, Weaver went before the Ohio Parole Board. The board denied his initial release, citing the calculated nature of the crime, his manipulation of a co-conspirator, and the profound trauma inflicted upon his surviving children. State parole boards in Ohio place significant weight on the predatory dynamics of contract-style killings. While Weaver remains eligible to petition the board at designated continuances, his release is far from guaranteed.
