From X-Files Wiki
(Redirected from Munch)
Detective John Munch was an officer for Baltimore Homicide in Baltimore, Maryland.
In 1989, Detective Munch investigated the breaking and entering of a warehouse in Fells Point Industrial Park. He interrogated John Fitzgerald Byers and learned of the events that had occurred at the Baltimore Convention Center involving Susanne Modeski, John Fitzgerald Byers, Richard Langly, Melvin Frohike, and FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder. Byers, Langly, and Frohike were arrested for the trespassing, Modeski disappeared, and Agent Mulder was taken into custody by the FBI.
When Mulder was released from the FBI's restraints, he ordered Munch to let Frohike, Langly, and Byers out of their holding cells and they were freed. (TXF: "Unusual Suspects")
