Skeleton in Kanawha River Linked to Missing Texan Watch Repair Clue
A decomposed skeleton found in the Kanawha River near St Albans is tied to a Dallas man, C. E. Williams, who left a wrist watch for repairs in 1946. The watch bore a jeweler's service number, leading Trooper R. L. Bonar and Texas investigators to Lloyd's Jewelry Store in Dallas, where Williams was identified. No other solid leads have emerged in the four month old mystery, though the case points to possible involvement by a Finkerton style agency. The body was discovered by two St Albans boys and may have been in the river for up to a year.
