Escapees captured after ransom plot endangers secretary

Three teen escapees from a West Virginia reform school in a stolen car held a young secretary, 18, as hostage for hours before all were recaptured within five hours. Larry Rector, Patrick Sarrell, and Roger Moore fled from the Boys Reform School near Bruceton Mills and were pursued by sheriff deputies and state police. Miss Eandra Lucre McKeen, secretary to the superintendent, was released in a frightened state. Rector fled toward his mother’s home but was stopped after two shots were fired. Sarrell surrendered with McKeen. Moore was arrested later in Tyler County. Authorities planned kidnap and grand larceny charges.
