Frank Blackmore

.__NOTOC__
DI Frank Blackmore, along with DCI Grace Barraclough, DI Vikesh Dasari and DS Karen Williams, was one of the investigating officers in Tom King's murder, taking statements from various residents who were at the reception of Tom's wedding to Rosemary Sinclair. He questioned Chas and Eli Dingle when they were arrested on suspicion of murder, in addition to Chas assaulting Rosemary. In March 2007, he, Barraclough and Dasari brought the King brothers Jimmy, Carl and Matthew in for questioning when evidence was found linking the brothers to Tom's murder. In May 2007, he and Williams interrogated Hari Prasad about making a false statement regarding Tom's murder, in which he said Jimmy, Matthew and Carl were responsible for his death.
In August 2007, he questioned Chas about the death of Colin McFarlane, who had slept with Chas in an upmarket hotel and died during the night. He and Williams investigated into the fire at Tenant House in October 2007, which led to Andy Sugden being arrested and charged for the death of his adoptive mother Sarah back in November 2000. He also investigated Rosemary's disappearance in November and December 2007, and arrested Matthew for her murder. However, it was later revealed that Rosemary had been alive and took her own life on Christmas Day.
In January 2008, he questioned Sam Dingle when he was found in possession of drugs. When Sam admitted to Donna Windsor-Dingle that the drugs are Eli's, Blackmore and a number of officers arrived to arrest him. While questioning Debbie Dingle, he spotted Eli, who made a run for it, but was captured and arrested. After Sam gave himself up having gone on the run for robbing Eric Pollard's business, Blackmore questioned Sam about the robbery, but Sam insisted that it was a loan from Eric. Blackmore was forced to released Sam when Eric corroborated Sam's story.
