was Sergeant Jack Dunlap. He was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his garage on July 23, 1963. Although there was no suicide note, his death was ruled an apparent suicide. NSA classified documents were later dis- covered in his house. After that, NSA investigators unraveled his decade-long career as a KGB mole. Dunlap had been recruited by the KGB in Turkey in 1952.
