Ep 8. Antoinette Frank and Rogers Lacaze

Antoinette Frank and Rogers Lacaze were two seemingly normal police officers in New Orleans, but behind closed doors they were part of a dark world of crime and corruption. In this spine-chilling episode of Killer Couples season 5, we delve into the twisted relationship between these two killers and the heinous crimes they committed.

Antoinette Frank, a former United States Army Reservist, began working as a police officer in the New Orleans Police Department in 1993. However, over time, her ethics and morals eroded, leading her to become involved in illegal activities such as robbery, extortion, drug dealing, and murder. Along the way, Frank found an accomplice in fellow police officer Rogers Lacaze, who became her partner in crime.

The murderous duo's criminal activities came to a head on March 4, 1995, when they were called to investigate a complaint at the Kim Anh restaurant. Once inside, they immediately began stealing cash and valuables from the owners and customers before brutally murdering the family who owned the establishment. The victims were executed one by one, including a 17-year-old brother and sister, who were shot in the head before Frank set the restaurant ablaze to cover up their tracks.

It didn't take long for investigators to piece together that the culprits in the Kim Anh massacre were in fact police officers. Frank and Lacaze's colleagues grew suspicious when the two took an excessive amount of time at the scene and when they returned hours later with new clothes and shopping bags from a mall.

Despite their attempts to cover up their crimes, Frank and Lacaze were arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder, robbery, and arson. In the trial that followed, the prosecution presented a compelling case, including eye-witness accounts of the couple at the crime scene, physical evidence that linked them to the murders, and a confession from Frank.

Throughout the trial, Frank and Lacaze maintained their innocence, but the jury was not convinced. In 1995, they were sentenced to death for their heinous crimes.

In this gripping episode of Killer Couples, we explore the dark and twisted world of Antoinette Frank and Rogers Lacaze, two police officers who turned to a life of crime and ultimately paid the price for their actions. Through interviews with law enforcement officials, friends, and family members, we get an inside look into the psychological and emotional motivations that led to the murders, and how the couple's relationship helped them commit these heinous crimes without remorse.

Killer Couples season 5 episode 8, Antoinette Frank and Rogers Lacaze, is a shocking and thought-provoking episode that serves as a reminder that evil can lurk in unexpected places, and even those sworn to serve and protect may not always be what they seem.
