Former US Attorney Jessica Aber Found Dead: What We Know [View all]

Jessica D. Aber, who until recently served as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA), was found dead at her Alexandria home on Saturday morning. Alexandria Police confirmed responding to a call at approximately 9:18 a.m. on Beverley Drive, where officers located the 43-year-old former federal prosecutor.

Aber's death comes just two months after she resigned from her position as one of the few women to lead the prestigious U.S. attorney's office in Northern Virginia, a role to which she was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2021.

The EDVA is considered one of the most significant federal prosecutor's offices in the country, overseeing cases related to national security, terrorism, and high-profile white-collar crime across a jurisdiction that includes numerous defense and intelligence agencies.

Aber served as U.S. Attorney from October 2021 until early 2025, when she stepped down to allow President Donald Trump to select a successor.
