03/06/2001 - Updated 10:32 PM ET FBI bought nearby house to spy on Hanssen By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — The FBI secretly bought a house near the suburban home of Robert Hanssen just nine days after investigators began surveillance of the veteran counterintelligence agent now charged with spying for Moscow, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday. The Vienna, Va., home, just down the block from Hanssen's, was purchased under the name of a single woman, Ann Manning, who paid $362,500 in cash, according to local property records and the realtor who represented the sellers. Attempts to reach Manning were unsuccessful. The transaction, first reported on "Dateline NBC," was made final on Dec. 21. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washdc/2001-03-06-spyhome.htm#more
