"Charlie" worked for the DPS - Department of Sanitation in Dallas ("Sanitation" per his death certificate).

On 11/22/63 Charles "Charlie" Blankenship, who worked for the DPS, was in Dealey Plaza on Houston Street In Front of Records Bldg, and was an eyewitness to the assassination of President Kennedy. He ran to the Grassy Knoll where he was stopped by a fake "Secret Service Agent". He never told his story while alive but his wife recounted it after he died. There were several other eyewitnesses who encountered fake Secret Service Agents on or near the Grassy Knoll and behind the Texas School Book Depository, after the shots, including two DPD officers. The Secret Service denied that it had any of it's agents in Dealey Plaza or left behind in Dealey Plaza.

After his death, his ex-wife (Mollie) came forward and recounted that he had been an eyewitness to the assassination of President Kennedy in Dealey Plaza. She recounted that he worked for the "DPS" and was working in another county at that time (where, she did not say) but that on that day he joined some friends from Dallas to watch the motorcade.

The story is as follows. He was standing in front of the County Records Bldg on the east side of Houston St. After the shots he ran to the grassy knoll area - where he thought the shots came from, -and there he was stopped from coming further by, not one, but two "Secret Service Agents". He left the area and returned home. He told his wife about the encounter but never shared the story with anyone else. After his death, she came forward and shared his story with JFK researcher, Michael Parks, and then his story was published by Deborah Conway, the head of JFK Lancer, on "Lancer" (JFK Lancer is a Dallas based JFK research group that holds an annual conference about the assassination in Dallas). From there it was published in other books and websites. This was the first time his story had been publicly told. Mr. Blankenship's story was not unique. Several others, including Dallas Police officer Joe M. Smith, recounted the same experience of being stopped by or encountering a secret service agent (or agents) behind the Grassy Knoll or behind the Texas School Book Depository immediately following the assassination; however, the Secret Service has denied having any agents in the area.
