Spy fate
In March 2007, Levinson, then 59, disappeared on Kish Island, in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran, while trying to recruit a fugitive U.S.-born assassin as a CIA source inside Iran. He was last seen alive in 2010 in a hostage video pleading for help and in photographs wearing a Guantanamo-style jumpsuit. The images did not disclose who was holding him. It is not known whether Levinson, who was eager to expand his role at the CIA and who apparently decided on his own to go to Iran, is still alive.
