Charles Duncan entered
the investigations field in post-Korean War days with the elite U.S. Army
Security Agency. He operated with a top secret security clearance in
highly classified documentation, investigative and communications areas.
Charles was included in a Florida State Police gambling investigation in Tampa and secretly video taped a meeting between members of the Cuban mafia and undercover operatives. Charles visually documented to the nation that security was so lax at the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves in Louisiana that our national security was at risk. His lengthy investigation at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio uncovered dozens of security breaches, dangerous working conditions and blatant discrimination. The Defense Department ordered the problems be corrected after transferring the commanding general to a remote base in Alaska. Two prestigious DuPont Columbia awards were received by Charles in New York City. His peers recognized his investigations twice with the top award from I.R.E., the Investigative Reporters and Editors organization. Charles' reports were also named best by the National Headliners Club, Associated Press, United Press International, the Texas Headliners Club and the Dallas Press Club. The national Edward R. Murrow Award was presented to Charles by RTNDA, the Radio and Television News Directors Association. Hundreds of investigations were conducted by Charles after he obtained his Texas Private Investigator's license in 1989. Sources have been developed in almost all walks of life allowing him to solve a wide variety of cases including numerous domestic investigations, medical malpractice, cults, illegal midwives, illegal toxic wastes, corruption in the Fort Worth School District, political investigations, real estate frauds, and the failure by city officials to enforce health codes in food service establishments in Dallas and Wichita, Kansas. Adoption cases have become a specialty. In the last 18 months, Charles has located several birth mothers after 25 to 30 years separation from their sons or daughters. A proprietary technique involves a search that often leads directly to the birth mother or to the adoptee. |
