–Charles F. Muntz | ||
Charles F. Muntz was an American aviator, adventurer, and scientist. A lauded celebrity, Muntz lost the respect of the public and the scientific community after having been accused of faking a scientific find. Vowing to restore his honour, Muntz returned to Paradise Falls in search of another specimen of what he had dubbed the Monster of Paradise Falls. Muntz spent decades hidden away in the jungle, where the isolation and frustration of failure led to his loss of sanity.
