Convicted murderer Frank Dryman spent nearly 40 years on the lam for skipping parole before his past caught up to him this week.
Dryman, 78, spent decades building a new life as successful wedding chapel and notary business owner Victor Houston in Arizona City, Ariz. Dryman may have died under that alias had it not been for Clem Pellett, the curious grandson of the man Dryman killed on a muddy Toole County road nearly 60 years ago. Pellett, an oral surgeon in Bellevue, Wash., grew up with his family in Great Falls. His father was longtime Great Falls dentist Marion Pellett.
Dryman was tracked down by private investigators hired by Pellett. The yearlong search culminated Tuesday with the arrest of Dryman, who is set to hear today on his extradition to Montana to face a parole board in the next few months that could send him back to prison. Dryman could also be reparoled or sent to a prerelease center. No Montana offender has ever been on the run longer than Dryman.
