Capturing Montana's Most Elusive Fugitive During an intense spring blizzard in 1951, affable Clarence Pellett picked up a teenaged hitchhiker along Montana's Hi-Line. Soon, blood from seven bullet holes in Pellett's back stained the snow-covered prairie. Following a brief manhunt and confession, a heated debate ensued over capital punishment as Communist attorneys swooped in "to save this poor friendless boy." Frank Dryman, twice sentenced to hang, escaped the noose when a sympathetic Montana Supreme Court stayed each execution. The "permanently insane and mentally deficient" killer was paroled into the custody of his brother in California after serving thirteen years of a life sentence. Eighteen months later, he vanished. Using a series of aliases, Dryman hid in plain sight for forty years despite state and federal warrants. Clem Pellett recounts the enthralling twists and turns of his hunt for his grandfather's absconded aggressor--the longest in state history.
