June 16, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Frank Dryman a killer in Montana managed to hide in plain sight for a very long time and later he even forgot that he was a criminal in the eyes of the law. Now in his last years of life, the man is behind bars again but his story is nothing short of incredible.
He got caught after a victim’s grandson he shot long back started digging the past. He admits the crime he committed years back but says that he is a totally different person now. For decades he faked his identity and people knew him as Victor Houston. He also lived with the pseudo name Frank Valentine.
He also said in an interview that when he lived with the name Victor Houston he tried to make up for the crimes he committed as a young man decades back. He vanished from parole in California so that he could get rid of his spouse whom he did not like.
He got married to a new woman and started a new life. His new wife and her family had no inkling about his sordid past. He soon got accustomed to his new life and put his past aside.
He got so engrossed in his new life that the shooting incident and the person he had shot became a distant memory for him. He was quite furious when the trial was held many years back.
However, now he is a changed person and does not have the angry young man persona anymore. His health is no longer robust and owing to his eyesight he has to depend on cane for walking.
