Agent of Betrayal: The Double Life of Robert Hanssen

Investigative journalist Javier Leiva spent two years uncovering new information on a potential stalker. The victims claim that their daughter's doctor is a cyberstalker who terrorized them for three years. But in a strange turn of events, the victims were indicted for causing harassment against a Phoenix-area doctor. All of the harassing messages were coming from the victim's IP address. In other words, someone in the victim's house is responsible for the harassment. Could it be the wife, the husband, or one of their children? Listen to all 18 episodes "The Stalker" on the PRETEND podcast: https://linktr.ee/pretendpod.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Just one problem: he wasn’t the mole. Drop us a line: [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Priscilla Sue Galey was a dancer at a strip club about a 15 minute walk from the White House. Robert Hanssen told her that he'd never seen such grace and beauty.
