Murderer with ties to El Dorado County wants out of prison
By Sacramento Bee
A convicted murderer of an Olivehurst man wants out from behind bars – this time legally, according to the State Board of Parole Hearings.
Troy Alexander Temple, now 50, is serving 15 years to life for killing Kenneth D. Cossey, 50, of Olivehurst in 1989. He also is under a nearly 32-year sentence for an escape from the Yuba County jail after he was convicted in 1991.
The escape sentence will start when and if Temple is paroled from the murder conviction, records indicate.
Temple also has a criminal history in Nevada and El Dorado counties, records indicate.
