The Mysterious Case of CIA Officer Edward Lee Howard's 1985 Defection to Soviet Union as well

In 1991 Edward Lee Howard-the only American intelligence agent to defect to the Soviet Union-was found dead with a broken neck after falling at his home in Moscow. At least that's what an anonymous "family friend" told the Washington Post. Contacted by the Post, the CIA would only confirm that it received unconfirmed reports that Howard had "passed away." Meanwhile, and equally mysteriously, when questioned regarding the Post article, SVR officials (SVR is the KGB's most recent incarnation) responded only that they had "no such information."
