Convicted fugitives tied to kidnapping and bank robberies
Colvin and Dolvin, linked to a 1958 Ohio bank robbery and a 1957 murder case, were reported missing after a kidnapping probe. Authorities warned they are dangerous, may be on foot near a prison, and could attempt to flee the country. The report ties Dolvin to earlier robberies and a 1966 parole, while Tiner, under death sentence later commuted, is noted for the 1957 Sheriff Woodham killing.
