National security adviser Robert O'Brien, in a statement issued Wednesday evening, said that"the investigation is ongoing" but that the U.S. believes Levinson"may have passed away some time ago.", Richard Grenell, the acting director of national intelligence, said he mourns for the Levinsons.
"They haven't told us that he's dead, but a lot of people are thinking that that's the case," the president said. "My dad was working as a contractor for the CIA at the time," Levinson said."And as far as we can tell that my dad checked out of the hotel. And according to the other man, he was approached by Iranian security forces. So a couple weeks after that, he went missing."
At the time, Iran, in a filing to the United Nations, said:"According to the last statement of Tehran's Justice Department, Mr. Robert Alan Levinson has an ongoing case in the Public Prosecution and Revolutionary Court of Tehran." Iran later said the"ongoing case" was an investigation into his disappearance.

Retired FBI agent, missing in Iran since 2007, died in captivity: FamilyThe family of retired FBI Special Agent Bob Levinson, who vanished in Iran 13 years ago, said Wednesday they are now convinced he died in captivity, though when is not clear. Levinson was a prisoner in Iran for 13 yrs. He was picked up doing “work” for the CIA. I feel so very sorry for this family who have advocated tirelessly for their husband/father. Oddly, 45 doesn’t believe Levinson is dead. He doesn’t believe our intel so needs a call from Putin.
