here’s what OSINT turned up:
Confirmed public info from court records and news:
- Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum
- A 23-year Border Patrol veteran stationed in Maine
- He drove the car over 1,000 miles back to Calais, Maine, and assigned a CBP station
- Firearms instructor
- His supervisor is Kevin Kellenberger (Deputy Patrol Agent)
- Uses Signal for encrypted group chats with other agents
Public records databases show: One “Charles Exum” in Calais, ME at age 59 - which matches the location of his CBP station. Can’t verify it’s the same person without additional confirmation.
Social media: I didn’t find any public LinkedIn, Facebook, X/Twitter, or Instagram accounts directly tied to him. Either he doesn’t have public profiles, uses a different name, or has them locked down tight. The only Instagram hit was a news account posting about the case, not his personal profile.
Given he’s now the subject of a criminal investigation, it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s scrubbed or locked down any public presence. The 200+ text messages the government has suggest he’s chatty on Signal with colleagues though.
