Their Murders Could Have Avoided If Massachusetts Corrections Officials Did Their Jobs Correctly.

Brian & Beverly Mauck
Brian A. Mauck was born October 25th, 1977.
He worked for an Auburn air conditioning company.
Brian was 30 years old and had an infectious smile.
He had a mischievous sense of adventure and the loudest voice in the room.
Beverly Jean Mauck was born on March 16th, 1979.
Shew as 28 and worked at a car dealership.
She loved sports and had hoped to become a competitive speed skater until her back was injured in a car accident.
Brian and Beverly, married in Turks and Caicos on May 5, 2006.
They were great people, they had a lot of friends, they had strong family ties.
They were neighbors of Daniel Tavares Jr.
Daniel Tavares Jr. was 44 when he was released from prison in Massachusetts in June 2007 after serving 16 years for manslaughter for the 1991 stabbing death his mother. 
Massachusetts corrections officials could have kept Tavares behind bars for nearly a year longer had they filled out paperwork documenting his assaults on others in the prison.
Authorities also failed to turn him over to the Florida Department of Corrections on an outstanding warrant or to immediately notify Washington state law-enforcement officials when they learned he had moved.
After meeting a woman through an online-inmate pen-pal service, Tavares married her upon his release and moved to Graham, Pierce County, where they lived in a trailer on property owned by her family.
Tavares said he went to collect a $50 debt from Brian Mauck for a tattoo on Saturday morning Nov. 17, 2007.
He became upset when Mauck insulted him and said he wasn't going to put up with being called a name after spending 20 years in prison.
He shot Brian in the face with a .22-caliber handgun.
Beverly Mauck witnessed her husband's killing and tried to run away.
Tavares chased her down and shot her in the head. 
He he then dragged her body to where her husband was lying and  placed her body over his.
He covered them both with a blanket because "he respected them." Tavares  bloody palm print  was found on the front door of the Mauck's home.
Shoe prints that match the unique tread design of a pair of shoes owned by Tavares were also found. 
Tavares initially told investigators he heard gunshots while he was in bed with his wife at their home. 
He also described two men and a red truck he said he saw outside.  Daniel Tavares was forbidden to have a gun as a condition of his parole. 
Taveres' wife, Jennifer, was arrested and charged with rendering criminal assistance, a gross misdemeanor.
She told detectives that her husband was with her at the time the Maucks were killed.
She later admitted to investigators that her husband was gone for about 20 minutes and he told her what he'd done. 
She also told detectives that her husband threw the murder weapon off a cliff. 
The Maucks were found dead in the living room of their home, with three close-range gunshot wounds to each of their heads.
In February, in 2008, Tavares was sentenced to life in a Washington state prison after pleading guilty to two counts of aggravated first-degree murder.
In 2015, Taveres was also sentenced to life in prison for a 27-year-old Fall River cold case.
Gayle Botelho, 32, disappeared in October 1988.
Her body was discovered buried in the backyard of a home Tavares previously lived at in 2000.
