So at first I assumed he was pulling the same scam he ran in 1976, where he placed ads for guns he didn't actually have and then ghosted would-be buyers after they sent him the money. But it's much weirder than that. I wish it was guns. It wasn't guns this time. He was running what one journalist called a cat scam.

He'd cut the tails off regular house cats and then run ads offering them as exotic purebred cats for $300. If he really was as independently wealthy off his inheritance as he claimed, did he really need $300 for a mutilated cat? Maybe he was just addicted to mail fraud.

As for the cats, one of the earliest mentions I could find of Frank in the newspaper archives was a 1958 article about the embalmed cat he got for his 15th birthday. He was looking forward to dissecting it and adding it to his collection of oddities that already included a cat skeleton. So I hope all his fraudulent cats found happy homes, even if their buyers were unhappy about losing $300.

But it's in an appeals court decision related to a parole violation in this second mail fraud case where we find the details of a campaign of terror against his neighbors that foreshadows the events at the end of this long, strange tale. He was paroled in 1992 after serving about half of this sentence, and he was on probation for three years.

Just days before that three-year period ran out, he was charged with a probation violation. He'd been convicted in New Jersey of sending obscene materials through the mail to a minor. I know, I know, this show is starting to feel like a tour of America's weirdest sex crime guys, but to be honest, I don't think there was anything sexual in his motivation for sending porno mags to a nine-year-old.

I know that doesn't sound possible. Bear with me. But after he got out of prison, he's living in an apartment back in his hometown of Tenafly, New Jersey. a family of Russian immigrants moves into the apartment next door. They have children. Children are noisy. Frank says he asked them to keep it down, but the noise continued.

In what the Second Circuit Court of Appeals would later call a rather bizarre set of circumstances, he decided to get back at these noisy children by engaging in a lengthy harassment campaign against the entire family. At least twice, he shut off their electricity. On multiple occasions, he filled the lock on their front door with staples, making it impossible to open.
