Newspapers that appeared to be quoting the same unnamed source from the U.S. Marshals published conflicting stories, with some saying Frank flew to South Africa shortly before Boyce's escape, and others putting that trip slightly after the escape, although both of these articles say it was exactly 23 days before or after.

But in my frustrated search through 40-year-old newspapers trying to figure out which prison Frank was calling home that year, I found another surprise. Another stabbing. Shortly after Frank was transferred to a state prison in Maine in 1978, he stabbed another inmate in the chest during an argument in the prison library. And again, we have this problem that keeps coming up in Frank's life.

He loves to talk to reporters and he loves to lie. It's the 70s. These reporters don't have the internet. They don't have access to electronic court records. So a lot of Frank's lies get published. When he files a lawsuit against the prison warden in Maine about the conditions in solitary confinement, newspapers publish his claim that he was placed in solitary for a stabbing he'd been suspected of.

But he says the investigation cleared him. A local newspaper in Bangor, Maine, however, had a reporter in the courtroom when he entered a guilty plea to that stabbing. But regardless of whether he got out in December of 79 or February of 1980, we know Frank flew to South Africa soon after he got out and that he stayed there for a couple of months.

The story of Christopher Boyce's 19 months on the lam is long and strange, but Sean Penn plays Boyce's friend, the cocaine dealer Dalton Lee, in the 1985 film adaptation of the book, The Falcon and the Snowman, about the entire affair. I didn't watch it. There's only so much I can do. But remember, this is the Cold War.

A missing Soviet spy is a pretty big PR problem for the United States government. There was speculation that the KGB had helped him escape. Boyce himself called a reporter from a payphone a few months after the escape and laughed about the idea that he'd had foreign assistance. He says he just climbed the fence and walked out.

The task force focused on finding Boyce believed all along that he'd never actually left California. And they weren't too far off. He was in Idaho the whole time. But a lot of resources ended up getting expended pursuing a false lead planted by our friend Frank. Now I can't prove Frank sent all of these letters himself.
