WASHINGTON — The FBI this week announced a $200,000 reward for information leading to the capture and prosecution of Monica Elfriede Witt, a former U.S. Air Force counterintelligence specialist who defected to Iran in 2013 and was indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2019 on espionage charges for allegedly transmitting national defense information to the Tehran government. Officials, including Daniel Wierzbicki of the FBI's Washington Field Office, said Wednesday the bureau believes someone knows Witt's whereabouts and urged public tips; the reward accompanies existing 2019 charges. It was not immediately clear why the FBI highlighted the case now, and Witt remains at large as U.S.-Iran tensions have intensified this year.
