Frank Matthews Vanishes With Millions

Frank Matthews, a major American drug trafficker who built a nationwide heroin distribution empire, skipped bail in 1973 while facing federal charges and disappeared with an estimated $20 million. Authorities had arrested him and accused him of running a large-scale drug network that stretched across multiple U.S. cities. After he failed to appear in court, investigators traced some of his associates but never found Matthews himself. Decades later, he remains one of the most notorious fugitives in U.S. drug enforcement history, with no confirmed trace since his 1973 disappearance.
