Conway, 50, who uses a wheelchair and has diabetes and other health problems, was released by the state Monday, said Larry Traylor, spokesman for the Virginia Department of Corrections.

The department also could not locate his family. Conway said he had lost touch with them and had not had a visit since 1991.
