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.


    Abagnale featured in STR8DADVIBES

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