I saw that on MSNBC last night. A distant cousin at best!
Weird seeing lines like, "Taken to University Hospital for treatment, Frankenstein continued to threaten deputies and then, medical staff, deputies said."
And Frankenstein, Jr. no less! You've got to wonder if having that last name had an effect on the Young Frankenstein!

He kept telling the police, "It's
Fronkensteen!"
I wonder if they will show a picture of him chained up in the dungeon?
It's hard not to call bull sh!t on this one, but it's been reported a few places and there's a mugshot too. But still, I suspect the name is not his birth name.
I do dig the irony of the forehead scar!

Go to a public library and check phone directories from different cities. Frankenstein is a real surname. Easier still, google "Frankenstein" and "genealogy" and get family history info on the name. I worked as a librarian/media specialist in public schools in southern Ohio and had a Frankenstein kid come through the system some years ago. Sorry to say, he was not a great reader.
I could hear the theme from ''Deliverance'' playing in my head the whole time i was reading this.
No. He is not related to me. :D

Well, he *was* at a Toby Keith concert! ;D

Robert, I would like to ask you a question concerning your Frankenstein research. Forry once claimed that he found an American town named Frankenstein but refused to answer where it was, can you enlighten me if this was a true town or not?

If I might be so bold, Elder Robert

OG, Thanks for the mappage! I had no idea where such a town might be. I see it is in Missouri. All I knew previous to this was that our school district had Frankenstein kids enrolled. Just checked the local phone book and discovered they still live here. I'd be interested to hear if any other UMA members can find any of the Frankensteins in their phone books elsewhere in the U.S.!
When he gets sent to jail, we may be able to get his cellmate Bubba to confirm the schwanzstucker rumors.
Thank you for the information OG, for a minute I thought this was another Forry myth. Also it reminds of a true story that happened in England about ten years ago, a man ran into a police station and insisted on being locked up for the night. When questioned he claimed to be changing to a wolf as the Moon rose, it took a fair number of police officers to pin him down and they also claimed that he did turn bestial both in features and strength. He even rammed his head through a two inch thick heavy oak door like it was paper. The next day he was released and he was coherent and business like, he recalled how he was sharing a car with a woman the previous night and upon seeing the full Moon felt compelled to distance himself from her in case he did something to harm her so he drove to the police station. After that everything was a blank, werewolf or insane you decide.

I hope he gets a 2nd hamper in his cell for poo-poo undies. I just like how the article reads, referring to him gratuitously as 'Frankenstein' a bunch of times (every time?) as opposed to the alleged perpetrator, defendant or the accused-----even just once. :D
I think they showed incredible restraint with this article.
I would have gone with a headline like:
Frankenstein Goes On Rampage!
Police and Locale Doctors Injured In Violent Assault
Also, note this about the town:

I agree that had one of US been responsible for the article, we would have gone nuts with it...
I am so disappointed in the underachieving inhabitants of Frankenstein, Missouri, that they have not done more commercially with the potential for living in a town called Frankenstein. Not even a cafe? A pizzeria? Mortuary?

I know. Lord, look what the people of Metropolis have managed to do!

Thanks for the story TVH. Might need to do some Googling on this
Looks like he would be related to the "Edison" Frankenstein with that hair.
