FBI agents searched the home of the woman at the center of a sex scandal behind David Petraeus's decision to step down as head of the Central Intelligence Agency, AFP reports citing US media. "Nearly a dozen" agents carried boxes and took photographs inside Paula Broadwell's home in Charlotte, North Carolina, CBS television affiliate WFMY reported. The Charlotte Observer said agents appeared to be searching both floors of the house. The US spy chief's resignation on Friday came just three days after Obama was re-elected president following a heated campaign in which the CIA faced questions about its handling of a deadly attack on a US consulate in Libya. A reporter for WCNC tweeted that FBI agents were in Broadwell's home for at least two hours, starting at 8:40 pm (0143 GMT Tuesday). "About a dozen there, with bags/boxes, taking pics," Dianne Gallagher wrote. "So many federal & news vehicles parked on Lexington Ave. in Dilworth (where Paula Broadwell's home is) cars can no longer get by." Broadwell, who wrote a biography about the retired four-star general, has not been seen at her home since Petraeus resigned, citing the affair. Neighbor Ed Williams told local NBC Affiliate WCNC that Broadwell, her radiologist husband Scott and their two sons were at an "undisclosed" location and were "doing okay." Retired colonel Steve Boylan, a friend and former Petraeus spokesman, said the affair between Petraeus and his biographer began about two months after he assumed his post at the CIA in September 2011, and thus after he retired from the US Army. It ended about four months ago. It all unraveled when a Florida woman reportedly went to the FBI in the early summer after she began receiving threatening emails that were traced back to Broadwell. The messages accused the woman of flirting with the general, according to widely-reported leaks from US officials. The agents eventually discovered sexually explicit emails between Petraeus and Broadwell confirming the affair. The pair was interviewed separately by investigators in late October and early November but, despite reports Broadwell was found to be in possession of some classified material, no criminal charges were brought.
