[scifinoir2] OT: Fugitive Caught After 40 Years in Hiding
Wow. What really sucks is that he's going to die in jail not because he avoided his just sentence for the murder, but because he skipped out on parole?? And damn, what a commentary, to skip out on parole rather than being with your wife? Not sure Dr. Phil could even save that one! As far as him saying he was a different person, and the fact that he likely had mental problems: a few years ago I got into a long debate with a conservative co-worker who strongly supports the death penalty, which I oppose. I asked him if, as a Christian, he believed a man could truly repent and become a new man, as the Bible says. Yes, he said, I believe some people do evil things but can in time, with God's help, change So, I asked, then you see my point, that some people can after years become different than the murderers they once were. The average death row inmate's in jail for over a decade, and in that time, you could be killing a completely different human being. He responded, You're right. That's why we need to start executing people as fast as possible, so they don't have time to change and become better people. Uncharacteristically, I had nothing to say after that... ** By MATT GOURAS, Associated Press Writer Matt Gouras, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jun 15, 5:55 am ET HELENA, Mont. – The aging Frank Dryman, a notorious killer from Montana's past, had hidden in plain sight for so long that he forgot he was a wanted man. In an exclusive jailhouse interview with The Associated Press, Dryman detailed how he invented a whole new life, with a new family, an Arizona wedding chapel business — and even volunteer work for local civic clubs. They just forgot about me, said Dryman, in his first interview since being caught and sent back to the prison he last left in the 1960s. I was a prominent member of the community. That is, until the grandson of the man he shot six times in the back came looking. Dryman had been one step ahead of the law since 1951 when he avoided the hangman's noose, a relic of frontier justice still in use at the time. Less than 20 years later he was out on parole. Not content with that good fortune, he skipped out and evaded authorities for four decades. After a while he even forgot about hiding and signed up for V.A. benefits from his days in the Navy in 1948. Now the 79-year-old Dryman is back behind bars , likely for what remains of his life. He was caught only after his long-ago victim's grandson got curious and started poking around. Dryman was hitching a ride from Shelby cafe owner Clarence Pellett on a cold and snowy day in 1951 when he pulled a gun and ordered Pellett out of his own car and began firing. Dryman does not deny the crime — just that he's not the same man today. He has been Victor Houston for decades. At the time of the murder , and after being discharged from the Navy for mental issues, he was going by yet another name: Frank Valentine. That kid, Frank Valentine, he just exploded, Dryman says of his crime. I didn't shoot that man in the back. That wild kid did. That's not me. Victor Houston tried to make up for it by being an honor citizen. Dryman says he served his time, which he did until paroled. But a Montana Parole Board not accustomed to leniency on those who walk away from supervision was not impressed with Dryman's subsequent good deeds. Last month the board sent him back behind bars to serve what remains of his life sentence . Dryman said he disappeared from parole in California to get away from a wife he didn't like. He said he's not sure why he just didn't leave the wife and remain on parole. But once gone, he said, he didn't look back. His new wife and family knew nothing of his past. He put down roots in Arizona City painting signs, a trade learned in prison, and performing weddings. I never thought I was a parole violator. I was Victor Houston. I never looked over my shoulder, Dryman said. I just forgot about it. On his birthday he used to get two cards from his brother: one for Houston and one for Valentine. I thought it was cute. I had no fear, Dryman said. He said the details of his past are just coming back: the shooting, his original sentence and the cause he became for opponents of the death penalty, and his first stint in prison . Only since I have been back here did I start to think about it, said Dryman. To be honest, I didn't even remember the victim's name . Dryman understands he is not likely to get out again now. And he is not kindly disposed to the victim's grandson, the Bellevue, Wash., oral surgeon who became intensely interested in a piece of family history he knew nothing about. Clem Pellett compiled reams of old documents and tracked down his grandfather's killer with the help of a private investigator. I can't blame him for what he did, Dryman

Well, he admitted the crime. No "I was framed" denial. What is it you don't buy? The reason for skipping out on something as simple as his parole even though he was basically a free man? That is odd indeed. It'd be different if maybe he said the community wouldn't give him a break because they still remembered his crime, and maybe he felt threatened or something. - Original Message -From: "Martin Baxter" martinbaxt...@gmail.comTo: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.comSent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 2:35:09 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada EasternSubject: Re: [scifinoir2] OT: Fugitive Caught After 40 Years in "Hiding" I'm not sure that I can feel any sympathy for this guy, Keith, because I'm not buying his story.

There's a movie in this. Just remind your friend of the numerous prisoners that were framed and later released because of dna evidence. How many people were executed that may have been innocent? Meanwhile, the real criminal is probably free and went on to commit more crimes. Once they execute someone it is considered case closed.

[scifinoir2] CREEPY CARNIVAL IN MACEDONIA - NOT FOR WEAK STOMACH [12 Attachments]
More than 1,400 years old, the Vevchanski Carnival held in the Macedonian village of Vevchani, blends pagan and contemporary traditions, drawing huge crowds every year. The entire village becomes a giant theater and every street and household is a different scene where people dress-up and become actors. The three traditional masks of the Vevchanski Carnival are the bride, the groom and August the fool, all the others are worn by groups of people openly mocking the events and personalities of every-day life. Judging by the photos, the people of the Vevchanski Carnival have a thing for blood and the grotesque.

That's a good point. Makes one wonder how much he's truly changed, eh? Especially given the callous brutality of the murder. - Original Message - From: Martin Baxter martinbaxt...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 5:06:33 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] OT: Fugitive Caught After 40 Years in Hiding I just can't put a finger on it, Keith. Well, I can. He ducked parole *and* his family. Then started *another* family. And the statement that Tracy commented on -- speaks to me of borderline sociopathy. No concern for the emotional distress of the grandson, just unfair On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 3:05 PM, Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@comcast.net wrote: Well, he admitted the crime. No I was framed denial. What is it you don't buy? The reason for skipping out on something as simple as his parole even though he was basically a free man? That is odd indeed. It'd be different if maybe he said the community wouldn't give him a break because they still remembered his crime, and maybe he felt threatened or something. - Original Message - From: Martin Baxter martinbaxt...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 2:35:09 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] OT: Fugitive Caught After 40 Years in Hiding I'm not sure that I can feel any sympathy for this guy, Keith, because I'm not buying his story.

What really sucks is that he's going to die in jail not because he avoided his just sentence for the murder, but because he skipped out on parole?? And damn, what a commentary, to skip out on parole rather than being with your wife? Not sure Dr. Phil could even save that one! As far as him saying he was a different person, and the fact that he likely had mental problems: a few years ago I got into a long debate with a conservative co-worker who strongly supports the death penalty, which I oppose. I asked him if, as a Christian, he believed a man could truly repent and become a new man, as the Bible says. Yes, he said, I believe some people do evil things but can in time, with God's help, change So, I asked, then you see my point, that some people can after years become different than the murderers they once were. The average death row inmate's in jail for over a decade, and in that time, you could be killing a completely different human being. He responded, You're right. That's why we need to start executing people as fast as possible, so they don't have time to change and become better people. Uncharacteristically, I had nothing to say after that... ** By MATT GOURAS, Associated Press Writer Matt Gouras, Associated Press Writer – Tue Jun 15, 5:55 am ET HELENA, Mont. – The aging Frank Dryman, a notorious killer from Montana's past, had hidden in plain sight for so long that he forgot he was a wanted man. In an exclusive jailhouse interview with The Associated Press, Dryman detailed how he invented a whole new life, with a new family, an Arizona wedding chapel business — and even volunteer work for local civic clubs. They just forgot about me, said Dryman, in his first interview since being caught and sent back to the prison he last left in the 1960s. I was a prominent member of the community. That is, until the grandson of the man he shot six times in the back came looking. Dryman had been one step ahead of the law since 1951 when he avoided the hangman's noose, a relic of frontier justice still in use at the time. Less than 20 years later he was out on parole. Not content with that good fortune, he skipped out and evaded authorities for four decades. After a while he even forgot about hiding and signed up for V.A. benefits from his days in the Navy in 1948. Now the 79-year-old Dryman is back behind bars , likely for what remains of his life. He was caught only after his long-ago victim's grandson got curious and started poking around. Dryman was hitching a ride from Shelby cafe owner Clarence Pellett on a cold and snowy day in 1951 when he pulled a gun and ordered Pellett out of his own car and began firing. Dryman does not deny the crime — just that he's not the same man today. He has been Victor Houston for decades. At the time of the murder , and after being discharged from the Navy for mental issues, he was going by yet another name: Frank Valentine. That kid, Frank Valentine, he just exploded, Dryman says of his crime. I didn't shoot that man in the back. That wild kid did. That's not me. Victor Houston tried to make up for it by being an honor
