Abduction of Margaret Claytor Reported in Arkansas
State Police and the PBI pursued a kidnapping case near DeValls Bluff Arkansas where Margaret Claytor was abducted. Her husband Herbert Claytor, president of the DeValis Bank in Forrest City, acted on ransom instructions guiding authorities through a day of lead and counterclaims. The exchange occurred near Alma after a series of detours guided by the abductors. A later tracing error placed a call from Stuttgart but was corrected, and officers remained hopeful she was alive.
