I received the FOIA request I made from the Department of Justice about Frances Glessner Lee. I lost track of how long it took but I made the request about a year ago. Maybe longer?
Above is a little sample of the FBI files on Frances Glessner Lee. There are a few surprises but mostly Frances was treated as annoying and even characterized as "somewhat antagonistic" by the Bureau.
They just couldn't appreciate how much she was doing to further the cause of forensics. Reading these files, it was clear that Frances just kept at it, kept trying to be heard. She tried to get meetings with J Edgar Hoover again and again. Looks like she was successful once or twice but the Bureau just didn't take her serious enough to take multiple meetings with her.
Much more to come on the subject of The FBI's Frances Glessner Lee's files.
