Jessica Aber, a Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney who was found dead in her Virginia home this past weekend, was known for spearheading high-profile investigations into CIA intelligence leaks, war crime allegations tied to individuals linked with Russia, and suspects involved in transferring sensitive U.S. technology to Moscow.
Jessica Aber, 43, was found unresponsive on Saturday morning.
“This morning, at approximately 9:18 a.m., Alexandria Police responded to the 900 block of Beverley Drive for the report of an unresponsive woman. Officers located a deceased woman. Following notification of family members, the Alexandria Police Department can confirm the identity of the woman as Ms. Jessica Aber, age 43, former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia,” police said.
Alexandria Police responded to a call about an unresponsive woman at Aber’s residence on Beverley Drive, Alexandria, Virginia.
Officers found her dead, and the department initiated an investigation as a matter of protocol, with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia tasked with determining the cause and manner of death.
A family friend told CBS News that her death is believed to be the result of a longstanding medical issue, and two former senior Justice Department officials informed NBC News that authorities have found no reason to suspect foul play.
