Apparently Ward was released from prison in 2014 and is still living.
I used to listen to KGO for hours at night when I'd go back to work after dinner (I'm self-employed). When Polly Klaas was abducted and murdered, Ward kept saying the father did it, that he likely had impure thoughts about his daughter; he kept going on about the father being guilty even after the FBI had cleared Mark. He sounded so creepy that I couldn't bear to listen to him any more. When his conversation about his sexual thoughts about children (including his own) came out, it seemed likely that Ward had been projecting his own feelings towards his daughter(s) on Mark Klaas.
A waste of oxygen
