Father of FBI Forensics
Charlie Appel founded the FBI Laboratory, and was its only examiner its first three years. A Georgetown University Law School graduate, he was a concert violinist, electrical engineer and World War I biplane pilot. He became a world-renowned expert in crime-scene evidence and questioned documents as a Special Agent of the FBI from 1924 to 1949, then in private practice. His cases included the Lindbergh kidnapping, gangster-era thugs, World War II spies, Howard Hughes, Aristotle Onassis, Clay Shaw, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon and other famous people.
