About this listen
She served her country for over a decade—then vanished behind enemy lines.
Monica Elfriede Witt was a U.S. Air Force intelligence officer with top-level security clearance. Fluent in Farsi, trained in psychological ops, and embedded in some of America’s most sensitive missions, she knew secrets few were ever meant to hear.
In 2013, she defected to Iran. In 2019, she was charged with espionage and conspiracy to deliver national defense information to a foreign government. Today, she remains at large.
In this episode of Fugitive Files, we follow Witt’s transformation from patriot to traitor, explore how ideology—and perhaps manipulation—drew her into the arms of Iran’s intelligence services, and ask the chilling question:
What secrets did she take with her—and is she still working against the United States today?
Subscribe now to hear the story of Monica Elfriede Witt—and others who vanished into the shadows.
