Waldo H. Dubberstein

Waldo Herman "Doobie" Dubberstein (October 21, 1907 - April 29, 1983) was a lifelong American intelligence officer, and a scholar and professor of middle eastern studies, political science, history, and archaeology. He worked for decades at both the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

In 1983, the day after he was indicted by a grand jury on selling classified information in connection with Edwin P. Wilson and Frank Terpil, he was found dead of a shotgun blast to the head in an apparent suicide. While his death was ruled a suicide, Dubberstein's family, former colleagues, and some federal investigators suspect that he was murdered.

Early career as a scholar Dubberstein earned an undergraduate degree from St. John's College in Winfield, Kansas. Dubberstein was also accused of having clandestine relations with Edwin P. Wilson - a former CIA officer who was smuggling guns into Libya. The court scheduled him to be arraigned the next day in the Federal District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.

On April 29, after failing to appear in court, District Judge Albert V. Bryan Jr. issued a warrant for his arrest.

Investigators suspect murder One of the primary reasons that investigators at the time suspected Dubberstein might have been murdered was that the arms dealer, Wilson, was in prison for the exact reason that he had plotted to kill people who had knowledge of his arms dealing in Libya.
