Witt is a former U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist accused of spying for Iran.
Federal investigators say Witt defected to Iran in 2013 and may still be supporting Iranian intelligence operations.
She also allegedly conducted research on behalf of the Iranian regime to allow it to target her former colleagues in the U.S. government.
Witt worked in Air Force counterintelligence on assignments that took her to the Middle East.

A 2019 indictment states that during that time she was targeted and recruited by Iranian government officials.
She is accused of revealing a highly classified U.S. intelligence program and exposing the identity of another American intelligence officer.
FBI officials said they believe someone may know where Witt could be. They hope the hefty reward will motivate them to come forward.
Anyone who has information about Witt should contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI. They can also contact their local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate or submit a tip via tips.fbi.gov.
