Frank is Back!
This update episode is loaded with new allegations and never-before-told capers. Like the time Frank Abagnale:
- Impersonated a cop with a paper badge and a toy gun.
- Posed as a pilot to work at a preschool
- Took a group of teachers on an "all-expense paid" trip to Puerto Rico
Abagnale's true life story is featured in the New York Post.
Frank Abagnale is getting national attention. Just this month, the New York Post published an article citing an 87-page file of old newspaper clippings, court documents, and letters — from airlines, university officials, government sources, and others. Here's a link to the article written by Abby Ellin.

We end the episode with a song inspired by my 'Real Catch Me If You Can' Series.

Virginia Morris, a retired real estate agent from Houston, Texas, doesn't want me to use her real name. She claims Frank Abagnale scammed her out of $20,000 through a bogus investment scheme. Virginia spent years suing Abagnale, trying to recover her money. However, she was unsuccessful. Abagnale ignored the court summons and failed to appear in court.
