Today, the FBI remembers Special Agent Marvin Risen. Special Agent (SA) Marvin Risen was assigned to the Memphis Field Office, Nashville Resident Agency, at the time of his death. On October 15, 1943, he was on official travel from Nashville to Memphis to meet with an assistant United States attorney (AUSA) concerning a bank robbery case. Risen’s flight on American Airlines encountered extremely bad weather during a snow storm. All indications are that the plane dove into the ground at an eighty degree angle and the accident occurred near Centerville, TN. Investigators from the Civil Aeronautics Board, which preceded both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, opined that the aircraft had most likely tried to turn back to Nashville after encountering the inclement weather before it crashed. The captain made a request to climb to a higher altitude, and eyewitness accounts stated that the plane circled “desperately” as it tried to find an emergency landing spot. The report stated that “inability of the aircraft to gain or maintain altitude due to carburetor ice or propeller ice or wing ice or some combination of these icing conditions while over terrain and in weather unsuitable for an emergency landing” was the case of the crash. The crash scene was such that no bodies could be identified, even with dental records. Risen was identified via his official FBI briefcase, which was found with serials matching those Risen was known to be carrying and documents meant for dictation in the AUSA’s office. Risen’s billfold, badly damaged service weapon, and SA badge were recovered later near the crash site. Risen was born on October 4, 1916, in Williamstown, Kentucky. He entered on duty with the FBI on December 4, 1939.

Earlier this month, four individuals were charged for their roles in a multistate bank-fraud and money-laundering scheme involving stolen and altered checks issued by a multinational corporation. According to the indictment, the defendants unlawfully obtained checks issued by the corporation to pay its vendors. The defendants allegedly altered those checks by removing the names of the intended payees and replacing them with their own names or with the name of an identity‑theft victim. The altered checks were deposited into accounts controlled by the defendants, who then withdrew or transferred the unlawfully obtained funds. The charges contained in the indictment are simply accusations, not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence. Read more: justice.gov/usao-wdmo/pr/fou…

Today the FBI remembers Special Agent Edwin C. Shanahan. On October 11, 1925, Special Agent Edwin C. Shanahan, the first FBI agent killed in the line of duty, was murdered by Martin J. Durkin, a car thief who had previously wounded four police officers to avoid capture in Chicago, Illinois. Upon receiving word from underworld sources that Durkin was planning to hide a stolen automobile in a certain Chicago garage, Special Agent Shanahan and officers of the Chicago Police Department proceeded to that garage to wait for Durkin to appear. When Durkin drove the stolen car into the garage, Special Agent Shanahan, who was alone at the time, attempted to arrest him. However, Durkin swept a revolver from the front seat of the car and shot the agent in the chest. Special Agent Shanahan returned fire, but Durkin escaped as his victim collapsed. Death was almost instantaneous. Durkin was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder and received an additional 15 years on stolen motor vehicle charges. Special Agent Shanahan was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1893. He entered on duty with the Bureau in 1920. He was almost 32 years old when he died.
