captured. A year or so ago I decided to look up the artist I knew as Randolph Franklin on the internet. I was shocked to discover that he was a convicted murderer. I had sold this man's work in a shop my family owned about twenty years ago. I have photos of him in my albums from those days. He visited in my grandmother's home and she cooked dinner for him. He was an amazingly talented artist, and unknown to us at the time, a murderer.
Dial escaped from prison in Oklahoma eleven years ago. The wife of the warden where he was incarcerated disappeared with him. It was presumed that he had kidnapped her. Now they've been found in a small town in east Texas where they were living in a mobile home and raising chickens. Dial is a talented artist & sculptor who once taught art at Instituto Allende in San Miguel, Guanajauto, Mexico. Since learning of his escape I always assumed that if he were ever caught it would be in Mexico as he speaks fluent Spanish and is familiar with Mexico. He was captured, though, right here in Texas.
