Frank Fletcher was Jessica Fletcher's deceased husband. In 1952, he was captain of his Air Force unit. He and Jessica used to spend time with members of his unit. In The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel, it's revealed that his unit jumped out of the Dixie Damsel, but Serg. Gagliano was killed. Thirty-five years later, he's accused of murder. Towards the end of the series, his nephew, Grady Fletcher , had a son named after him.
It is alleged by a nurse named Nancy Landon who served in Korea while Frank was stationed there that her son, Steve Landon, is Frank's son. However, she later reveals that she lied and Steve's father was another member of Frank's squadron who was married and killed in Korea.
Frank died c. 1979, as in the Season 2 episode "Reflections of the Mind" (1985) Jessica mentions she still talks to him sometimes "after six years".
