How the FBI Caught America’s Greatest Traitor

It’s a cold Sunday evening on February 18, 2001. A man in his late fifties walks alone through a quiet suburban park just outside Washington, D.C. To anyone watching, he seems unremarkable. He isn’t nervous. He isn’t rushed. Just a regular man taking an evening walk.

He pauses near a wooden footbridge, looks behind his shoulder, reaches into his coat and then carefully places a small plastic bag beneath the bridge. A routine drop. Simple, quick and no mistakes. After all, he’s done this before. Many times.

But what he doesn’t know… is that this time, he’s not alone. All around him, they wait. Watching. Listening. Holding their breath.

For months, the FBI had been preparing for this moment. Hundreds of agents had worked relentlessly to track this man down. Now, they were finally ready. After more than twenty years of betrayal, the hunt for America’s greatest traitor was about to come to an end.
