Convicted murderer found 38 years later operating a wedding chapel

Frank Dryman was convicted of murdering a man who stopped and gave him a ride while hitchhiking in 1951.

After a quick trial in 1955, Dryman was sentenced to be hanged. Later, however, the sentence was changed to life in prison.

He was paroled in 1969 but he disappeared. He was found running a wedding chapel under an assumed name in Arizona 38 years after he skipped out on parole.
