Helen Wilburforce Gandy (April 8, 1897 – July 7, 1988) was the longtime executive assistant and secretary to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, serving for 54 years from 1918 until Hoover's death in 1972. Born in Rockville, New Jersey, she began as a typist in 1918 and was promoted to executive assistant in 1939, becoming one of the most influential administrative figures in the FBI. Hoover called her 'indispensable' and relied on her judgment for managing correspondence and sensitive materials. Her archival relevance to UAP intelligence includes routing classified correspondence on UFO/UAP matters in the Hoover era, including a 1969 Men-in-Black case forwarded to the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigation. After Hoover's death on May 2, 1972, she infamously spent weeks destroying his 'Personal File,' containing alleged blackmail material. She died in Florida in 1988.
