Russians Charge U S Woman Spied in Vienna Embassy Case
Neighbors describe Alice Crownfield as unlikely spy as Soviet Izvestia claims she coaxed a Russian physicist named Pyotr M. Savrasov into defecting. Crownfield and her husband Fred Jr. deny espionage and say only personal issues were involved. Crownfield's father Frederik Crownfield Sr. provides an alternate timeline linking meetings in Yugoslavia and Vienna before the Russian allegedly sought U.S. help. The Russian was later sent to Bonn for questioning and then Moscow orders followed.
