serve out his life sentence. However, the Canadian government was so grateful for his service that for many years afterward, whenever Selz would appear before the Parole Board, Canada would send a delegation to speak on his behalf and urge his release on parole. However, because Selz was suspected of being a serial killer and was suspected in the death of a total of five women, although he had only been convicted of the murder of his lover Mrs. Rice, he did not succeed in getting a parole until the late 1960s. He was returned to prison for violating his parole after a couple of years of freedom. He had attempted to get Social Security benefits using multiple Social Security numbers. Selz was paroled again about 1970 because of heart disease. His ultimate fate is unknown.
