FBI offers $200,000 reward for Monica Witt arrest

The FBI announced a $200,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist Monica Witt. She faces espionage charges for allegedly sharing secrets with Iran after defecting in 2013. Witt remains at large more than a decade after her indictment.

Witt served in the U.S. military from 1997 to 2008 and later as a government contractor until 2010. Her roles gave her access to classified information at the secret and top secret levels, including the identities of undercover U.S. intelligence personnel, the FBI said.
