Frank Briggs

Biography
Frank Briggs was a former police detective who operated in the Baltimore, Maryland area in the early 1960s. He investigated a cold case file dating back to the 1930s, which involved a string of grisly murders perpetuated by a man named Eugene Victor Tooms. The murders involved the harvesting of human livers and Briggs was disturbed to discover that a man matching Tooms' description and appearance was still active in the Baltimore area in 1963. Briggs became somewhat obsessed with drawing the various connections between Tooms actions and those committed in 1933, and was rewarded for his efforts by being pulled off the streets and given a desk job. Briggs continued to look into the Tooms case on his own however.

Frank Briggs eventually retired from law enforcement and spent his later years at the Lynne Acres Retirement Home.
