24. The Frank Sinatra Jr. Kidnapping

Join Iain as he dives into the audacious and – at times – unbelievable kidnapping of Frank Sinatra’s son, Frank Jr.

It’s December, 1968, and Frank Sinatra Jr. has just been kidnapped by two strangers in the night. But these aren’t your regular kidnappers. In fact, they’re total amateurs. What follows are bungled ransom negotiations, a confusing money drop, and a very controversial statement made on the stand.
