 My name is <a href="https://twitter.com/jonwalczak" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jon Walczak</a>. I'm an investigative journalist and the director of the upcoming documentary film "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrKEUmBMaME" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">32 Frames: A 9/11 Mystery</a>".

<div>
 <strong>I'm currently suing the FBI in federal court — and I need your help.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>For 16 years, I've tried to obtain photos of 9/11 developed by the FBI from a disposable camera found in the rubble of the World Trade Center. These photos are singular — the only images taken in a tower on 9/11 above a point of impact.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Their existence was first revealed in 2003 in <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2003/12/21/fbi-team-puts-together-pieces-from-scenes-of-terror-bombings/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this Baltimore Sun article</a>. I was 15 and happened to see it at the time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-missing-on-9-11-83089219/episode/bonus-the-disposable-camera-85493724/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">I reported on the photos</a> in 2021.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 In September 2025, represented by <a href="https://www.loevy.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Loevy &amp; Loevy</a>, I filed a FOIA lawsuit in the Southern District of New York. I kept it quiet until now.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Since 2010, I've filed dozens of FOIA requests for these images. The FBI denied them all, saying the photos were "not reasonably described"; that my requests required an "unduly burdensome search"; citing privacy concerns; national security concerns; etc.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 After filing suit, the FBI claimed it undertook an expansive search to find the photos.<strong> The FBI now claims not only that it can't find the camera, negatives, or photos — but that</strong> <strong>it can't even find a record of the images.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>The existence of the photos was confirmed to me by both the reporter who wrote the 2003 article and the FBI agent who showed them to her.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>If the FBI truly lost these photos, what else has it lost? This case raises serious concerns about how the FBI handles evidence — and, in my opinion, how it improperly rejects valid FOIA requests.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 So I'm asking for your help. My attorneys are working hard. I now need to raise funds to keep the lawsuit going.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Funds raised will help cover legal expenses. Any leftover funds will be used either to help fund additional transparency efforts or donated to charity.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Important: Obtaining these photos and whether or not to publish them are two separate issues. If I obtain the images, I will ethically evaluate what to publish. I will not in any way monetize the images.</strong> I will not publish any images, for example, that show clearly identifiable people in distress. But for the sake of history, I do think these images should be obtained and, after an ethical evaluation, published.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 (<strong>NOTE:</strong> These photos are separate from those I'm investigating for "<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt42747468/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">32 Frames</a> ". Different camera and photos).
