CIA star and 'quirky' office analyst who introduced her friend to the agency before he was sent on 'rogue' mission that led to disappearance

Anne Jablonski was forced to quit the CIA following the investigation into Levinson's kidnapping

When Robert Levinson disappeared in 2007, he had been working with Anne Jablonski, a rising star CIA analyst who had asked him to send his intelligence reports directly to her home and contact her through her personal email.



In the fallout after Levinson's kidnapping in Iran, Jablonski came under intense scrutiny. CIA investigators told the Associated Press that she had purposely hid Levinson's CIA field operations from her bosses.



One year later, she was escorted out of her office and forced to resign, according to an explosive AP report Thursday.



The 54-year-old - who once gave daily intelligence briefings to the FBI Director and the U.S. Attorney General - has remade herself into a yoga instructor who blogs about finding inner peace and cooking up homemade cat food for her pets.

She has also found success working in the private sector. She is the Chief Data Officer for RDC - a risk management company. Her biography on the company's website speaks to her '23 years of service in the U.S. intelligence community' - though it never directly mentions the CIA.

She denied all wrongdoing in comments to the Associated Press and did not return a phone call from MailOnline seeking comment for this story.

Jablsonki and Levinson had become fast friends after years of working together. Jablonski was in the office when news broke that Levinson had gone missing. She went to the bathroom and threw up, according to the AP.



'That she would even by accident put someone in harm's way is laughable,' said Margaret Henoch, a former CIA officer and a close friend of Jablonski.



'When I worked with Anne, and I worked very closely with her for a very long time, she was always the one who pulled me up short and made me follow procedure.'



Jablsonki had always been a quirky personality at the CIA.



She was a yoga devotee who made her own cat food, a woman who skipped off to Las Vegas to renew her vows in an Elvis-themed chapel.

In her post-CIA life, she had taken to teaching yoga and writing about finding her inner peace.

'A triumphant spring day here. Blue skies, sweet breezes, cheeky hydrangea blooms spilling over sidewalks and rose bushes grandstanding down brick walls and peering into alleys just to show off,' she writes in one post.



'Errand-hopping this delicious morning and absorbed in the giddy that tickles my heart in the spring, I caught myself (thank goodness) interrupting the joy, scrambling to mentally identify what it was I needed to be fretting over. I needed my fret list, and quickly, so I could structure and prioritize my worries.'

In a 2011 blog post about the competing Occupy and Tea Party movements in the country, she says: 'Insensitivity to the needs of our brothers and sisters isn't cause, it's effect.'



Levinson, meanwhile, has not been seen or heard from in three years and top officials fear that he is dead. This March will mark seven years since his disappearance.



Levinson and Jablsonski met up in the 1990s after meeting at a Justice Department conference on organized crime. She was the CIA's top Russian organized crime expert, who colleagues said had an encyclopedic knowledge of the crime figures in the Russian underworld.



Levinson, at the time, was one of the few FBI agents in the country who was making headway in cracking the circle of Russian mobsters who were moving to South Florida after the breakup of the Soviet Union.



After the September 11 attacks, former colleagues say, she was assigned to brief Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller about terrorist threats every morning.

In 2005, Jablonski moved to the Office of Transnational Issues, the CIA team that tracks threats across borders.

Right away, she arranged for Levinson to speak to the money-laundering experts in the office's Illicit Finance Group.

After Levinson retired from the FBI, Jablsonski convinced her boss to bring him on as a contractor, the Associated Press said .

Levinson was hired to be an analyst, but the AP report reveals he really worked as a field operative.

He traveled to Latin America and developed sources in the Venezuelan government.

All the while, he was filing his reports directly to Jablonski and reporting to her or to close colleagues.



Levinson was told to FedEx his reports directly to her home in Northern Virginia and to send contacts to her personal email accounts.



CIA sources told the AP that an internal investigation after Levinson disappeared in Iran reveals that Jablonski operated this way to hide the fact that she was running field operations - something that is against the rules for analysts.
