But the newspaper articles at the time do say that the officer initially saw Frank's car parked at the intersection of East Clinton Avenue and Woodland Street, about a mile from where Frank lived at the time. They used to put everything in the newspaper. It's so beautiful. Every detail, every boring little bit. I wish they still did that.

And I'm eternally curious about details that probably won't end up mattering, but I pulled up a map of Tenafly, New Jersey. And there is a large wooded area you could walk straight into if you parked your car at that intersection. And those woods surround a large building that first opened its doors in 1950. The Kaplan Jewish Community Center.

The clearest account of the next phase of Frank's life comes from an essay written in 2019 by a retired Rhodesian military policeman. Despite being the most likely to be more or less true, it's still riddled with obvious factual inaccuracies, things that just can't be true.

Maybe because it was written as a humorous recollection meant to be read by his fellow former Rhodesian soldiers, and maybe his memory has faded a bit in the nearly 50 years since the event in question. But it does, at the very least, substantiate Frank's own claim about having enlisted in the Rhodesian light infantry in the early 1970s.

I'll try to walk the tightrope here of providing a little more context than just Rhodesia was very bad and white supremacists from other countries were obsessed with the idea that they could travel there to kill black people with impunity, while still stopping short of taking us down the long road of the history and consequences of European colonization in Africa.

That's far from my area of expertise, and it's not why you're here. Now, even if you're coming into this with a completely blank slate for some reason, you're probably thinking, there's no country called Rhodesia. And you're right, there isn't. there never really was.

Rhodesia was never recognized as a sovereign state, but we're calling Rhodesia here as the present day state of Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. In the early 20th century, Rhodesia was a British territory, the legacy of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company. The area was effectively ruled by the company until the 1920s when it became a self-governing colony of the UK.
