What if I told you that Frank Abagnale wasn't the only con artist in his family? His older brother used multiple aliases, faked his career as a therapist, and was even accused of kidnapping a 7-year-old girl.
This episode reveals the dark and puzzling secrets of Frank Abagnale's family history.
Correction: In the episode, I mention that Susan was married to Roy Abagnale from 1970 to 1978 - but it was actually 1978 to 1992.

Molesworth revisits Mendieta’s death, taking a closer look at how she might have
fallen out of the window of Carl’s 34th floor New York apartment and the
