The FBI officer who was chasing Frank, and was the main inspiration for "Carl Hanratty," was really Joe Shea. Frank Abagnale, Jr. used the pseudonym "Sean O'Reilly" in his book because Joe Shea was still in the FBI. He has since passed away. However, in an online video interview Abagnale said that Hanks met Shea and patterned his performance on him so perfectly that watching Hanks is virtually the same as watching Shea.
