This episode of Reality Sandwich was aired in February of 1990, as part of Black History Month. The featured figure is Frank Mills, the security guard at the Watergate Center in 1972.
Mills played a unique role in discovering the burglars of the Democratic Party Headquarters. By seeing they got arrested, it led to not only the downfall of President Nixon, but the discovery of the assassins of President Kennedy.
Almost since the day of JFK's killing, researchers tried to identify the 'three tramps' who were arrested behind the grassy knoll, attempting to flee in a boxcar. Thanks to Lee Bowers, the railroad switchman, they were caught and photographed. But their identities were unknown until Frank Mills had them arrested.
Their photos were then released to the world and the rest is history.
