Robert Hanssen
Robert Hanssen, who was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union and Russia, conducted dead drops there.[1]
One account relates:
Within a mile of his home, Foxstone Park meanders along Wolftrap Creek through Hanssen's neighborhood and a golf course. He used Foxstone Park's rustic wooden sign as his signal site, marking it with a piece of Johnson & Johnson medical adhesive tape placed vertically, to signal he had loaded the dead drop in the other side of the road... The drop site codenamed ELLIS was a dark, damp place under a footbridge[2]
Another account relates:
He was caught one evening, minutes after leaving a dead drop under a footbridge at Wolftrap Creek in Foxstone Park, near his house in Vienna, Virginia. FBI agents also found $50,000 the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR...) left for him at another site.[3]
Hanssen was arrested on February 18, 2001, at the park, which lies near his home (also in Vienna).[4]
He was charged with selling U.S. secrets to the Soviet Union and subsequently the Russian Federation for more than US$1.4 million in cash and diamonds over a 22-year period.[5]
