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.

did find one newspaper article that dropped a sort of suspicious sounding hint that they only picked Frank up for that gun charge because of an anonymous tip. So maybe that was him too.

But they picked him up in New Jersey at the end of July and he pretended to be very cooperative, telling them that he actually had some documents that would lead them straight to Boyce and he would happily show them to them. He voluntarily turned over the key to the bank deposit box he was keeping them in. And inside, they found several letters to Frank that had been mailed from South Africa.

Sounds like more red herrings planted by Frank. He'd flown to South Africa several times in the year and a half since his release and was probably mailing himself these letters on those visits. So now in August of 1981, it seems like there could be some evidence that Boyce really was in South Africa. Frank says he was promised placement in the Witness Protection Program for his help.

And maybe they did make that promise. If he really could help them recover their missing spy, that's a reasonable enough deal. And just a few weeks after all of Frank's help, Boyce was recaptured. But it wasn't due in any part to Frank's information. During his year and a half on the run, Boyce obviously couldn't get a job. So he made money the old-fashioned way. Bank robbery. Bank robbery.

He kept it pretty small time, nothing flashy where you get into the vault, just little stick-ups, a few thousand at a time from the teller. He's tied to at least 17 bank robberies in Idaho and Washington State during that time, eventually teaming up with a couple of brothers from Idaho. And it was one of those men who turned Boyce in for the reward money. No honor among thieves, I guess.

Boyce was taken back into custody on August 21st, 1981. And he wasn't in South Africa.

So, Frank lied. Obviously. He lied pretty egregiously. He falsified documents, he led U.S. Marshals and the CIA on an international goose chase... And maybe that's why he never got charged for it. That's pretty embarrassing to put on the record. But they did still have that gun charge they'd picked him up on to use as leverage. So they set a sentencing date, but Frank didn't show up.
