Nolin pleaded innocent last month to charges he kidnapped and murdered Jonathan Wessner, 20, whose body was found on a beach in Woods Hole two weeks after he was seen leaving a party with Nolin on Sept. 20.
Nolin has lived on Cape Cod since his release from the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Norfolk, where he served the remainder of his 12- 20-year sentence on three counts of rape of a child under the age of 14 and kidnapping.
Nolin petitioned in 1994 for his transfer back to the state prison, but Grabau rejected the original request, saying the state demonstrated he had a "superficial understanding of his sexual offending, continues to have inappropriate violent fantasies, and has an ambivalent approach to participation in treatment."
