The Last "Dead Drop" used by Robert Hanssen - Infamous Crime Scenes on Waymarking.com

After dropping his friend off at the airport on February 18, 2001, Hanssen drove to Virginia's Foxstone Park. He placed a white piece of tape on a park sign--this was a signal to his Russian contacts that there was information at the dead drop. He then followed his usual routine, taking a package that consisted of a sealed garbage bag full of classfied material and taping it to the bottom side of a wooden footbridge over a creek. The FBI, having caught him in the act, swooped in and arrested Hanssen on the spot. Upon the arrest, Hanssen realised his espionage days against the FBI were over, and said on the spot, "it took you guys long enough."
