But two weeks later, the Kerrigan family received a call from a friend of Frankie’s with very strange information. Mr. Frankie had just come to this friend’s house and asked to come in. The man who was also the one carrying the coffin at the funeral not long ago was stunned in utter panic.
After losing his temper for a while, he began to think that there must be another person in Frankie’s grave and informed his friends and relatives.
The police quickly stepped in to investigate the incident. Previously, they had identified the homeless man who died on the sidewalk through the testimony of several witnesses around who said they knew Mr. Frankie. Inside that person’s bag was a driver’s license with Frankie’s name on it.

The fingerprints of the deceased were then transferred to the FBI for investigation. The result belonged to John Dean Dickens, another 54-year-old homeless man.
During the funeral, Mr. “fake Frankie” was placed in a coffin with a transparent glass cage for visitors to see his face one last time. His father said he also touched his son’s face, but no one realized the truth.

On April 19, a trial opened by a California state court ruled that Kerrigan’s family will be compensated 1.5 million USD (about 33 billion VND) for the mental loss they suffered from the mistake of the family. authorities side.
The remains of Dickens, who were actually lost, have also been returned to his family in Kansas. Currently, the man who “missed” Frankie Kerrigan is living in a hotel and for the past 5 years, his family has not told him about the horrifying story that Frankie was a victim.
