Escapees Recaptured Near Belpre After Short Flight
Convicted murderer John Calvin Bayles and accomplice Frank Sheppard were recaptured near Bayles' Belpre home less than 24 hours after their escape. Belpre, Washington County, and Wood County officers helped in the capture and the pair were jailed in Marietta to await extradition. The case ties to the October 1975 death of 19 year old Jima Ann Dotson near Bayles' residence. Bayles, jailed in Parkersburg, had been appealing a murder conviction from March against the Parkersburg Community College coed.
