In the scandal that continues to read more and more like
a Lifetime made-for-TV movie, the woman who sounded the alarm that led to the
resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus over an extramarital affair
has been identified as a volunteer State Department military liaison.
Jill Kelley, reportedly a close friend of Petraeus,
alerted the FBI when she received harassing emails from Petraeus’ mistress, his
biographer Paula Broadwell, the Associated Press revealed Sunday.
The Tampa, Florida native is an unpaid social liaison to
the military’s Joint Special Operations Command with no official government
employment, according to the AP.
“We and our family have been friends with Gen. Petraeus
and his family for over five years. We respect his and his family’s privacy and
want the same for us and our three children,” Kelley said in a statement reported by ABC News.
A close friend of Petraeus told ABC that Kelley, 37, and her husband befriended the
retired four-star general when he was stationed in Florida. The source
speculated that there was never a romantic relationship between Kelley and
Petraeus.
