Most of us are familiar with the critically acclaimed film called Catch Me If You Can, based on the autobiography of legendary confidence man Frank Abagnale. It’s the story of a brazen teenage imposter who through charm and intellect was able to pass as an attorney, a doctor, a pilot and a university professor in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
My guest, Alan C. Logan, has done extensive research into Frank Abagnale’s well-known and near-mythical narrative, found it riddled with holes, and lays out some of what he has discovered for us on this week’s episode of Most Notorious.
Alan Logan’s book is called “The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can”, and can be ordered in bookstores, online retailers, and through his website at: greatesthoax.com
