Greene’s boyfriend at the time, Kyle Gowan, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving a life sentence.

Documents from the Parole Board of Canada indicate that since being released into the community, Greene only had one breach of her conditions. The parole board says she maintains a positive attitude, is taking responsibilities for her actions and is focused on long-term goals.

In rendering its decision, the parole board said Greene had made adequate progress and granted full parole.

A number of conditions were imposed, including a prohibition on alcohol. Greene must also avoid contact with certain people who are believed to be involved in criminal activity and notify her parole supervisor of all intimate and non-sexual relationships and friendships with males.
