In this Nov. 1, 2012 file photo provided by the Iowa Department of Corrections is Rasberry Williams who is serving a life sentence for fatally shooting an acquaintance over a $30 debt outside a Waterloo, Iowa, pool hall in 1974.

The Iowa Board of Parole has requested an interview with 67-year-old in April, 2014, which typically signals “a high probability that some type of releasing action may result,” according to the board’s website.
