Summary

The life of a celebrity is often viewed as glamorous, something that you could only dream of achieving. Walking the red carpet, rubbing elbows with A-list celebrities, and hosting lavish parties are all regular occurrences in the life of the rich and famous. This was especially true of Frank Sinatra, singer extraordinaire and mega-celebrity who was connected to a lot of powerful people. Sinatra, known as The Chairman of the Board, had connections to some of the highest seats in government. His fame also led him to be deeply connected with the mob. Sinatra was a huge star, so when his teenage son, Frank Jr., went missing in December of 1963 the world took notice. Did Sinatra’s connections with the mob lead to his son’s abduction, or could this have all been a self-planned ruse for Junior to get out from under his father’s shadow and make a name for himself?
