Scranage is said to have come under suspicion when, upon her return to the United States in 1985, she failed a routine polygraph test. After an FBI investigation, Scranage cooperated with the authorities, and assisted in the arrest of Soussoudis. Soussoudis was later released in exchange for the Ghanaians arrested as CIA spies, who were deported to the United States and stripped of their Ghanaian citizenship.
