I did another LexisNexis search for Valerie E. Wilson in Washington, D.C. This confirmed she lives at the same address as Joseph C. Wilson. It also took me the next step.
“Former name: Plame, Valerie E.”
I now had the identity of a covert CIA agent (who was using her maiden name as part of her cover as an energy-industry analyst working for a firm called Brewster Jennings & Associates, now known to be a CIA front company).
It took me less than a half-hour to identify her.
I then went back to Google and got a map of Plame’s neighborhood and directions to her home. Google also allowed me to study a high-resolution satellite photo of Plame’s house.
I could see that the property appears to be in a quiet residential community and looks approachable from all sides. It also offers ready access by car to major thoroughfares.
