I can't even find contemporary news reporting where anyone ever outright said that they believed Frank sent these letters. And he was never charged in connection with his meddling in this investigation. But just a few weeks after Boyce went missing, the United States ambassador in South Africa got a letter. The postmark indicated that it had been mailed from within South Africa.

And the letter said a known mercenary named Shellhammer had assisted the convicted American spy Christopher Boyce in entering South Africa by way of a fake passport. Now, who do we know with a history of forging passports, of mailing anonymous letters to officials in Southern Africa implicating himself in crimes and using the pseudonym Shellhammer?

And he absolutely knew the feds would tie him to that alias because it was the one he had used in those classified ads in 1976 that put him in prison for mail fraud. And Frank was in South Africa in February of 1980 when that letter was mailed. It seems he wanted the authorities to know he was involved. Why else would he write his own pseudonym into the story?

So feds quickly turned their attention to Frank. They placed a tracking beacon on his car. They followed him for months. And he probably knew he was being followed. They followed him from his home in New Jersey all the way out to California. And from a California motel, he made several phone calls to an apartment in Hermosa Beach.

And when they searched that apartment, they found it abandoned, but they found several letters that Frank had sent to a third man, another friend of theirs from prison, one of which read, somehow they discovered that I helped him get into South Africa. I suspect an informer has been at work. But there was no informer. Frank wanted them to find those letters, and Boyce was never in South Africa.

The only reason anyone thought Boyce might be in South Africa is because Frank was planting false clues all over the world to point them as far away as possible from a little hunting cabin in the mountains of Idaho. U.S. Marshals eventually got frustrated following Frank around.

A federal prosecutor would actually say in open court that Frank's arrest in July of 1981 was specifically intended to give them leverage to make him cooperate in the Boyce case. It seemed like he knew something and they wanted to know what it was. As a felon, Frank wasn't allowed to have any guns. And, of course, Frank had guns.
