The Stress of Being a Professional Spy

A top CIA spy killed himself in front of his wife, whom he wanted to take to the “afterlife”... Anthony Schinella, 52, the national intelligence officer for military issues, shot himself in the head outside his Arlington home...

“My husband was planning on murdering me. He had talked about taking me to the afterlife before,” Washington, DC-based journalist Sara Corcoran, 46 — who had only recently married Schinella.

“We would often watch documentaries on Egypt, Valley of the Kings, pharaohs. He had a love of Egypt, he spent a great deal of time in the Middle East, he spent several years living in Bahrain,” she told the outlet. 

Corcoran told the Sun she believes her late husband — who was just weeks away from retirement after a 30-year career in the CIA — had been suffering from stress after being involved in four wars.

Corcoran said she believes her husband had been planning to blow up their home. more
