Innes mystery man to releage innes Atlanta case

Victor F. Innes, central figure in the Nelms sisters disappearance case, will complete a five year federal sentence in Texas and be released after thirty days due to a $1000 fine. He was convicted of mail fraud in the Nelms matter, with prior Georgia jail time for larceny after trust. The Nelms sisters, Atlanta natives, vanished in San Antonio and Texas murder charges were dropped when bodies were not found. A heavy fraud trial used a meat grinder and acids in defense of state claims. Mrs Innes faces a similar federal charge and illness after two years’ imprisonment.
