The Context
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.

Before she was appointed U.S. Attorney, Aber had worked in the EDVA since 2009, handling financial fraud, public corruption, violent crime, and child exploitation cases. She was part of the prosecution team that secured a conviction against former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell on corruption charges in 2014, though the Supreme Court later overturned the convictions.

In Russia you always have windows that people fall out of. Lots of 44 year old people at the top of
their careers just up and die all the time. I hope there was no foul play involved.

The former US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia was found dead in Alexandria on Saturday, authorities said.
In a statement on social media, Alexandria police announced that at about 9.18am on Saturday, police responded to the 900 block of Beverley Drive following reports of an unresponsive woman. Upon arriving at the scene, authorities located a deceased woman who they later identified as 43-year-old Jessica Aber.
“In a matter of protocol, an investigation is under way surrounding the circumstances of her death. The office of the chief medical examiner of Virginia will determine the cause and manner of death,” police said, without providing additional details surrounding her death.
Aber began her career in 2009 at the US district court for the eastern district of Virginia where she prosecuted financial fraud, public corruption, violent crime and child exploitation cases. From 2015 to 2016, she served on an assignment as counsel to the assistant attorney general from the justice department’s criminal division. From 2016 until becoming US attorney, Aber served as the deputy chief of the criminal division for the US district court for the eastern district of Virginia, the US attorney’s office said.
Aber was nominated by Joe Biden on 10 August 2021 and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. On 20 January – the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration – Aber announced her resignation after serving in her role for more than three years.
