An undercover job and doing classified documents. It started when she went missing. I didnt want them to believe that this is actually our realIty. We had concerns that there be missing, classified information. It could turn into an espionage investigation. Espionage . Is this some kind of international Spy Caper . Or maybe It was something closer to home . What we got was the information that would break this case wideopen. The case of a cia mom, could a clue from her son help solve this case . I will never give up, i will never give up on anything. Hello, and welcome to dateline. For Marie Singleton, the Sun Rose and set on her way, marcus. When the single mother met Andre Jackson, is a look at wIth two kids of his own, she thought she had met the man of his dreams and a Father Figure for her son. But that new life shattered, when suddenly vanished, and police discovered there was a lot more to this Month Mom and her marriage than met the eye. Here is Josh Mankiewicz wIth missing marie. Secrets. We all have them. Some are small. Some large. Some professional. Others, very, very personal. This is a story about secrets. About a woman who was very good at keeping them. And about what happened, when that woman suddenly disappeared. She was beautiful, my mom was very beautiful, and a great person, a nice person. Is a lIttle boy, Marcus Singleton Couldnt possibly foresee the loss that he would suffer, or the terrible choice he would One Day have to make. All he knew back then was his mother passed you love. I mean, she helped people. There was a kid in the street, she would pull over and see if they were okay. She was that type of person that taught me to basically put others before myself first. Marie was single when she had marcus, he was the center of her world. Kelly clayton was Maries Hairdresser and good friend. Lots of things that he was doing in school, she got really excIted about marcus. Maries friends and coworkers , Richard Harris and jean nfl. He was like the apple in his eye, she just sparkled every time he was around. We traveled a lot together, so It was just us too for a job. Marie worked for the federal government in Los Angeles, but friends say she was driven and ambItious in other areas too. She is an entrepreneur, that is what i love most about her. She talked about owning her own business. But marie wanted more than work and success. I know that she wanted to have somebody in her life. What kind of guy was you looking for . Someone that will take care of her, love her, protect her. That was kind of missing, she didnt have that guy figure, a Father Figure for marcus. Then, One Day, marie told her friend i met this guy, you know, they had a Lunch Date and he was cute and just, you know, they were fighting. His name was Andre Jackson, a handsome, single father of two, sparks flew immediately. I mean, she would just light up every time she talked about him. A glow. He was her, her everything. The methodical, businesslike marie, seems to change overnight. Were you privy to the courtship wIth andre . The Whirlwind Courtship . Thats yeah, that is the way we would put It, because the next day she was smItten, the next day she was in love and then she was pregnant. Pregnant and having a wedding in know when you about It marcus knew about It. He was there. Your mom was happy . Yeah, she was happy. Andre was happy . Yeah. Yeah. We all were happy to at age 8, marcus found himself welcoming a LIttle Brother, named marquise. I think once my LIttle Brother came into the picture It was more, then i realized It wasnt Just The Two Of Us anymore, but we were actually starting to become a family. And there were two other stepsiblings in the mix, Andre Junior and andrea. And you got along wIth them . It was great, i had a Brother And Sister at home, It was a pretty cool experience. Another cool experience. For the first time having a dad. He taught me how to swim, taught me how to throw a football. Even wrote me on the back of his motorcycle a few times. He was the only male figure in the house that i could do stuff wIth. So he was living up to his job as your father. Yeah. He was. For marcus and his mom, everything seems just perfect honestly, It was like a complete family, It felt like i finally had a complete family. It was the best feeling in the world, like the ultimate high, and suddenly the ultimate low. The ultimate low, because on november 11th, 1994, Marie Singleton, rocksolid wife, mother, businesswoman, vanished. The local police investigated, of course, but so did an of ei agent, named rick kato. We had concerns that maybe the same classified information, government information. Classified information . Yes. As we said before, everyone had secrets, and marie had a big one, when she had told very few people. Officially, Marie Singleton worked for the department of defense. That is what was quickly disseminated, yes . But really, she was working for the cia. That is my understanding, yes. Coming up. It could turn into an espionage investigation. Someone who is going over and helping wIth russia and chinese, It turned into that kind of case. The mistry was just beginning. When dateline continues. Beginning. When dateline continues.

Josh mankiewicz the day that changed marcus Singletons Life began like any other. Except that he had the day off from school. The day that changed marcus Singletons Life began like any other, except that he had the day off from school. It was friday november 11th, 1994 marcus, then eight years old was glued to the tv in his familys living room. I was watching a cartoon movie, Bugs Bunny Movie, my mom comes of the stairs, she says something to me, i am thinking she is going somewhere, you know, im like okay, i am watching television. You are zoned out . I was zoned out, and im so zoned out and finally i fall asleep. Marcus woke up later that evening to the sound of his Baby Brother crying. So i go downstairs im like why is this lIttle kid crying, where is everybody yet . Finally the phone ring. My stepfather calls me. And he tells me, you know, he sing hey, is your mom there . Is your Mom Home yet . Whatever im like no, where the heck are you guys . Im here and marquise one stop crying, he just wont stop. And he says okay, i will be there soon, i will be there soon. Andre says he last seen marie around 5 00 p. M. just before he left for his son, Andre Juniors football game. Now, when he returned home, marie and her car were gone. Andre made a round of calls to friends. Nobody knew where marie was. He then took all the kids to his Mother Putt House and dropped them off. So he asked him where are you going and he says he is going to go check wIth my Minds Girlfriend to see if you can find out where shes at. Andres first stop was the home of marie bridget harris, whom he had called earlier. First, he called, and then i didnt really think of It, because im like oh, well she will be back. And then when he showed up is when i got concerned. And im like he still not back . Cell phones were still pretty rare in those days. So i paged her, because i knew if i paged she would immediately call me back. But marie did not call back. The next morning, andre knocked on the door of another friend, Jean Jones fell. And he said we had an argument and i said we had a lIttle argument, dont worry about It. But the second he told me he had the baby i knew something was wrong. And so you paged her how many times . I couldnt count how many times i paged her. And no answer . No answer. By now It was saturday, 10 20 a. M. marie had been missing for almost 18 hours. Andre called the police. Yes, i would like to file a missing persons report. Okay. Who is missing . An officer came out to the house and met wIth andre. I see him talking to the cops, but i dont see my mom anywhere. And i think that is when i found out that my mom she hadnt come home yet, i had no idea where she was at. Police started interviewing wItnesses, searching the neighborhood, but the weekend passed wIth no sign of marie. That is when the Phone Rang on the desk of ei agent, rick kato. I believe on a monday, maybe a tuesday she was missing, didnt report to work, and that was unlike her . It is unusual for the bureau to get involved in a missing persons case, but It turned out Marie Singleton was no ordinary missing person. Not wIth her job. They called the department of defense, they didnt call It the cia, but she was in The Agency working on communications for them. But unbeknownst to just about everyone in her life, Marie Singleton was a Court Clerk for the central Intelligence Agency she wasnt a spy, but she did handle classified communications from agents overseas. Information that might be very interesting to enemies of the unIted dates. Part of what the fbi does It is investigating like this, when a Cia Employee goes missing. They couldnt turn into an fbi investigation, someone is going over, helping the russians, chinese, somebody like that. Could theoretically turn into that kind of a case. So, now there were parallel investigations. The local cops looked for a missing person. The fbi, covertly, look for an Intelligence Worker who might have been killed or changed sides. Maries family, meanwhile, just wanted her back. We started making flyers for my mom. You remember the flyers . Yes. Soon, a number of maries coworkers and friends were posting flyers on telephones and light poles, storefronts and shopping centers. Kelly clayton remembers how she had a friend asked andre what they could do to help. He asked us to pet them out by The Beach. At this time i asked him out why would we pass them out at The Beach . And he said, well, you know, thats okay, you dont have to pass them out at The Beach. You know if you mentioned a specific beach or anywhere in california . Doc weiler beach. Talk weiler beaches about eight miles from andres home, near Los Angeles international airport, where flights leave daily, from moscow and beijing. On tuesday, november 15th, 954 four, andre himself went there to post flyers, he had an encounter wIth a Perfect Stranger and asked for help and that is when this story took another strange turn. Coming up. I couldnt believe that i was seeing the car but this man was just looking for. A huge break in the case. When dateline continues. Eline. U need a break.

Marie singleton. Wife, mother. Tuesday, november 15th, 1994 , Marie Singleton, wife, mother , and secret Cia Employee, had been missing for 4 days. Police were looking for her, so was the fbi. She might have been a runaway, a crime victim. Or a double agent. But tim didnt know any of that when he stopped by Dockweiler Beach near lax to unwind after work. I saw a man posting flyers, for a missing person. The man was Andre Jackson. He actually mentioned that he was doing this, because It was his wife, and that she had last been seen on friday, and he seemed very concerned, and obviously worried about It. He asked me that if i would take one of his flyers. So, i said sure. The flyer had a picture of marie, a discussion of her car and the cars license number, he studied It and put It in his pocket. A short time later, he finished his walk, got into his car and started to drive home. I was parked here facing south, so i got in my car, he made a uturn to
