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.
