Early Life
Frank had an unstable childhood, but she had wanted to become a police officer since she was a small girl. Frank was from a broken family: her brother was a fugitive, her father would appear in her life occasionally, and Frank became distressed about these issues, needing psychiatric help. Frank has claimed that her father abused her sexually, mentally, and physically when she was a child.
According to author Chuck Hustmyre, a former federal agent and author of a book about Frank, Killer with a Badge, when Frank applied to become a police officer in Louisiana, she lied about her psychological problems.
