She was an out-patient. Police are seeking information on Maranvilles whereabouts between August 1983 and July or August 1984.

Drug Suspect Must Post Bail A Rutland District Court judge refused Wednesday to reduce bail for a Rutland man charged last week with sale and possession of cocaine. The lawyer for Allan Owens 30, recently asked Rutland District Judge Francis B. McCaffrey to let Owens post a tl.000 deposit on his $10,000 bail.

But in a ruling issued Wednesday, McCaffrey refused to change the bail requirement set last week by District Judge Theodore S. Mandeville in which Owens must post the entire $10,000. Owens pleaded innocent May 6 to charges of sale and possession of cocaine. The sale charge alleged that Owens sold approximately one gram of cocaine to a police informant for $120 inside Faat Alpertts bar on State Street on May 5. Tne possession charge said when Owens was arrested outside the bar shortly after, he had on his person packets containing more than one gram of cocaine, worth between $700 and $1,000.

In his ruling, McCaffrey said there was a risk Owens might flee unless there was substantial cash bail, because he was unemployed and had no stable or permanent home in the area. McCaffrey noted that Owens had four less serious drug possession convictions, beginning in 1977.
