      In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we’ll tell the stories of a few Agency women who made CIA history & paved way for women here today. Jeanne Vertefeuille led team that uncovered traitor Aldrich Ames. It was the pinnacle of a long & memorable career. http://bit.ly/2bEiBzd pic.twitter.com/fvvReWerj3

      Jeanne joined CIA as a typist in 1954. As professional opportunities for female officers slowly began to grow, she earned assignments at various posts overseas. She also learned Russian & found her niche in counterintelligence. CI @ CIA: a Brief History http://bit.ly/2J53vB8

      Spring 1985: after an alarming number of Agency assets run against USSR disappeared in rapid succession, Jeanne received a cable from the Soviet/East European Division Chief. She later recalled: “He said, ‘…I have a Soviet problem….I want you to work on it.”

      Jeanne returned to lead a five-person investigative team searching for answers as to how this troubling loss of assets happened. The task was long & exhaustive, complicated by the fact that many didn’t think it was a mole, but intercepted communications instead.

      Extensive reviews of records showed Aldrich Ames, who worked in Soviet Division counterintel, began spying for USSR in 1985. In his job he was authorized to meet w Soviet officers for official purposes. However, he compromised numerous Soviet assets, some of whom were executed.

      Ames’ extravagant lifestyle came under the task force’s suspicion in November 1989. In August 1992, Sandy Grimes (who was on the team) discovered Ames made large bank-account deposits after every meeting with a particular Soviet official.

          The @FBI took over the investigation & used surveillance to build the case against Ames. He was arrested on February 21, 1994, with further incriminating evidence discovered in his house & on his home computer. Ames plead guilty & is serving a life sentence in federal prison.

          Jeanne had reached the mandatory retirement age in 1992 but immediately returned as a contractor to see the investigation through to its completion. She was a true CIA icon & legend. Serving our Agency for 58 years, working until just prior to her death in 2012.

          Jeanne blazed a trail at CIA at a time when it was an overwhelmingly male enterprise. Remembered as a driven, focused officer who demanded excellence & was always devoted to the mission, Jeanne's life & legacy has forever impacted CIA. http://bit.ly/2bEiBzd pic.twitter.com/jruA1NbUz7
