[Just A Nobody]

Her name seems a little familiar to me so I must have read it but forgot it...

We began looking into her way back when. I had to fire up another computer to find the file that I knew existed. The last date I did anything in that file was 12-2-07. Smooth may remember more as we discussed the Winter-Murtha connection the last time I visited and began researching.

Gabrielle joined Murtha's staff in December 2001 following a one-year DoD fellowship from Georgetown Univ. She was a "special" NCIS agent examining ... (now get this!)
sexual assaults and white-collar crime.

Always good to have a specialist with connections on your team when the white-collar crime investigations begin!
Was not Murtha one that was always yammering about stressed out soldiers beating on their wives? I've long believed Gabrielle was the connection between Murtha and Winter.

At the time I was trying to find out if her husband was one of the NCIS agents assigned to the Haditha Marines, but was unable to find anything at the time.

“One of the highest points of my career was winning back the Democratic majority [in November],”Carruth says. “And [last May] Representative Murtha was honored with the Profile in Courage Award for his brave stance on the [Iraq] war.” The congressman, who spent thirty-seven years with the U.S. Marines, retiring in 1990 as a colonel from the Marine Corps Reserve, has been a vocal opponent of the Bush administration’s war efforts.

Carruth joined the congressman’s staff in December 2001, following a one-year U.S. Department of Defense fellowship from Georgetown University. Her credentials included a seventeen-year stint with the Navy, working in far-flung spots—Jacksonville, San Diego, Okinawa—as a special Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agent, examining sexual assaults and white-collar crime.

In fact, Carruth met her husband, who is also an NCIS agent, at federal law-enforcement training in Glencoe, Georgia. He was her machine-gun instructor. Today, the couple has three children.
