The saga of Ana Belén Montes reads like something out of a spy novel: encrypted messages, clandestine meetings with handlers, secret disguises.
Scott Carmichael was the first DIA investigator who suspected Montes might be a traitor. In a 2007 interview, he said Montes was the ideal spy for 16 years, rising through the ranks at the DIA as a model employee.Former DIA investigator Chris Simmons said Montes was prolific and effective at giving the Cubans damaging intelligence, and they're suspected of selling that info to other enemies of the U.S.
"That was her team, she was working with the Cuban government who murdered American citizens in cold blood," Lapp said."So she didn’t pull the trigger but she was complicit after the fact." Two of Montes' siblings actually work for the FBI, including a sister who's in the unit that looks for Cuban spies.
