California restaurateur admits to wife's murder in parole hearing

David Viens, a California restaurateur serving a 15-year-to-life sentence for murdering his wife, has admitted to the crime during a recent parole hearing. He confessed to boiling her body and disposing of her remains, actions he previously denied. Viens, who claimed he was in a panic and under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time, expressed remorse for his actions. Despite his admission and claims of transformation, the California Parole Board denied his request for early release, citing ongoing public safety concerns. Dawn Viens' family remains skeptical of his confession, questioning his sincerity and motives. They continue to seek closure and hope that Viens remains incarcerated.
