---
Marion Pettie was the leader of [[The Finders]], a group that law enforcement and researchers have described as a commune or cult operating in the Washington D.C. area. The children in the group called him the game-caller. Pettie was a former Air Force Master Sergeant, a background that provided him with military training and connections that would later become relevant to investigations into the group's activities.[^1]
Pettie's personal connections extended into the intelligence community. His late wife, [[Isabelle Pettie]], had been a CIA employee. One of his sons had worked for Air America, a CIA cutout used to traffic heroin in the golden triangle region during the Vietnam War. These family connections to intelligence operations became central to inquiries into whether The Finders maintained operational links to the CIA or functioned as an unacknowledged asset.[^1]
