A bank holdup in Mansfield sparked a high speed chase through Attleboro and Pawtucket. Three bandits were captured after a dramatic police pursuit led by Officer Timothy Flynn. The gang, identified as Paul Marinelli, Charles White, and William Vento, attempted to reach the First National Bank then the Co-Operative Bank before fleeing toward the riverfront.
Joseph Ganeau reported a leaking pipe led him to Colson’s Bangor tenement where a blood covered room and overturned chair suggested a hurried departure or struggle. A boot imprint lay in blood. Colson’s pipe, hat, coat and money were present, with a suspected robbery motive. Authorities investigated with Sheriff Fernandez and detectives.
Residents recount seeing the horse driven into town multiple times since Colson vanished. Sheriff Fernandez campaigns to identify the horse traders and confirm if they hold Colson’s horse and its origin. Authorities consider a hammer may have killed Colson, with the body possibly wrapped in a bed quilt and removed. A quilt from his bed is said to be missing.
