On the surface, the case so far
involves the FBI; a slew of allegedly inappropriate emails (between
Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell; Allen and socialite Jill
Kelley; and allegedly threatening ones Broadwell sent to Kelley); the
FBI agent who started the probe, who's now being investigated for
sending "shirtless" photos to Kelley; and, as reported by the New York Post on Tuesday morning, a child custody battle involving Kelley's twin sister that allegedly concerns both Petraeus and Allen.
To help sort things out, here's a rundown of events, and where things currently stand.
Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old from
Tampa, Fla., who organized local social events for the military as a
volunteer, became friends with Petraeus and his family when he was
stationed in Florida. Last spring, she began receiving harassing emails
from an anonymous account and alerted a friend who worked for the FBI.
