Edward Lee Howard - Wikipedia
Had CIA a cause to kill him. Yes.
Can it be regarded as evidence? No.
Was it a murder? Who knows?
If it was killing then is the USA responsible? Innocent until proven guilty.
Much more likely he was 'bumped off' by the FSB as he was looking to go back to the US, so long as they dropped his violation of probation:
Peace Corps Online: October 1, 2002: Headlines: Obituaries: Intelligence Issues: COS - Colombia: COS - Dominican Republic: COS - Russia: Spokesman Online: Mysterious life, death of Edward Lee Howard....and here he sets out the conditions under which he would leave his safe house: He agrees to face espionage charges but wants New Mexico to waive a violation of his probation?a probation he incurred by shooting up a car in a drunken brawl
There's a few 'tit bits' here:
And this brings us back to the subject of Howard's own death. If, as the Post's anonymous informant suggests, Howard's body was found with a broken neck, could he simply have fallen? Perhaps he was tipsy from one of his notorious bouts with drinking. Yet Howard had almost certainly outlived his usefulness to the Russians. In 1991, a Washington Times article noted that he'd lost his once round-the-clock KGB protection and feared he might be turned over to U.S. authorities for prosecution.
Could just be 'piss head falls down stairs and breaks neck' but that doesn't fit any 'alternate narrative'
