But the spy kept one step ahead, even after agents followed him to Bogota, Colombia. In a crazy twist, the FBI would score its biggest clue from inside Ames' garbage can.At the time of his arrest on February 21, 1994, he had compromised more highly-classified CIA assets than any other agent in history.
