The National Law Enforcement Museum announced its next panel discussion series, Witness to History : The Investigation of Robert Hanssen, will take place on Oct. 1 at the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.  

The event will focus on ex-FBI agent and Russian spy, Robert Hanssen, who sold high-level U.S. secrets to the former Soviet Union and Russia for more than 20 years.

There will be a panel of experts with firsthand knowledge about the case including Mike Rochford, retired FBI section chief of Russian Overseas Espionage and David Wise, author of "Spy: The Inside Story of How the FBI's Robert Hanssen Betrayed America."

The event kicks off with a reception at 6 p.m. with the discussion to follow from 6:45 to 8 p.m.

Admission is free and the event is open to the public. Attendees must register online by September 27.
