Search Of Bourne Farm Made Monday
An exhaustive 100 acre farm search yesterday failed to locate missing Camden area farmer Frank Bourne. Elwod Davis, 53, longtime Bourne farmhand, remains jailed on first degree murder charges after a cousin named Bourne pressed the case. A caller claimed Bourne was seen in Eaton two weeks ago, and prosecutors compared handwriting from a damning letter with Davis. Davis traveled to Hamilton the day the letter was mailed, and friends still doubt his guilt while Bourne’s whereabouts remain unknown.
