John Stockwell, Ex-CIA Officer and Tell-All Author, Found Dead

John Stockwell, the 88-year-old former CIA officer known for writing a tell-all book about the agency, was found dead in Austin following an extensive search, according to the Travis County sheriff’s office.

Stockwell was the subject of a Silver Alert earlier this month after he disappeared from his East Austin neighborhood.

The office issued the alert for Stockwell at about 1:30 a.m. June 13 after he was reported missing. He was last seen walking near the 3000 block of Wickham Lane on June 12, authorities said.

The alert was discontinued June 14 after search crews found him dead in a wooded area near his neighborhood, spokesperson Kristen Dark said.

Dark said the search involved Travis County sheriff’s deputies, sheriff’s office K-9 units, Texas Search and Rescue K-9 teams and boats, Texas game wardens in boats, sheriff’s office drones and aerial assistance from Austin police Air 1 unit and Star Flight.
