On February 18, 2001, FBI Agent Robert Hanssen was arrested for selling American secrets to Moscow. He plead guilty on 15 counts of espionage and had made more than $1.5 million dollars over 15 years of dealing with the Russians.

Before moving to the Supermax Federal Penitentiary in Florence, Colorado, Hanssen lived in Vienna, Virginia, with his wife, a nice suburb of Washington, DC.

To pass secrets to his Soviet counterparts, he would place a wrapped, waterproof package under the base of a footbridge in Foxstone Park in Vienna, one of many Fairfax County Parks. A small pice of masking tape on the parks roadside sign would be turned vertically or horizontally by Hanssen or the Russians to denote a package was in place or had been picked up.

The film Breach with Chris Cooper as Robert Hanssen told the story of his double life and his arrest.

On the morning of his final delivery, he was rushed by FBI Agents and arrested on Creek Crossing Road after walking out of Foxstone Park. He said to the arresting agents "it took you guys long enough."

The park is about six miles from our house. We took a drive down to it over the holidays to walk the path and see the bridge. It was interesting and added to what we already knew about his arrogance, to see the path. Homes are sometimes only twenty feet from the path, and even on a cold December morning when we were there, people were out jogging and walking their dogs. He would walk down there in his suit on his way to or from work at the FBI offices in Washington, DC.
