Task Force Arrest, Eastern District of
Louisiana |
|
On 5/2/08, Robert Thomas Franks was arrested in New Orleans,
Louisiana by investigators from the Crescent Star Fugitive Task Force (CSFTF).
Franks was wanted by the Honolulu, Hawaii Police Department for invasion of
privacy. Honolulu PD detectives say that Franks allegedly video recorded his
stepdaughters with a camera hidden a bathroom of their residence on multiple
occasions. The Louisiana State Police requested the assistance of the Middle
Louisiana Fugitive Task Force (MLFTF) after receiving a tip that Franks was in
Louisiana. Franks had been profiled on America’s Most Wanted since he fled
Hawaii in October of 2007. MLFTF investigators, with critical assistance from
TOG, determined that Franks was working construction in New Orleans and
requested the assistance of the CSFTF. Franks was located and taken into custody
by CSFTF and LSP investigators without incident. |
