Robert Frye
Frye met with Michael Riconosciuto and Dr.
Robert Frye was the Executive Vice President of Wackenhut Corporation in Indio, California. He was involved in the Cabazon/Wackenhut Corporation Joint Venture, which aimed to develop and manufacture arms on the reservation.1
Frye met with Michael Riconosciuto and Dr. John Philip Nichols at Picatinny Arsenal in May 1981, where Riconosciuto conducted a theoretical blackboard exercise on a Railgun for Dr. Harry Fair. Frye was present when Dr. Fair commented on Riconosciuto's scientific and technical knowledge, terming him a "potential national resource."1
Frye suffered a heart attack in early April 1983 and was hospitalized. After this, he never traveled to California to meet with Dr. John Philip Nichols or the Cabazons again. Wackenhut Corporation's involvement with the Cabazon Joint Venture virtually ceased, and it was formally terminated in October 1984.1
Robert Chasen, Executive Vice President of Wackenhut Corporation in Coral Gables, stated that Frye went behind his back in facilitating the biological warfare technology project at the Indio facility. Chasen believed Frye and Dick Wilson were "dazzled" with Robert Booth Nichols, despite Chasen's own distrust of Nichols.1
