Suicide spy’s sex secrets

Kinky stash found

A top CIA spy killed himself in front of his wife — who later stumbled on a massive stash of S&M gear, sex toys, guns and ammo in their Virginia home.

Anthony Schinella, 52 — the highest-ranking military affairs analyst in the US intelligence community — shot himself in the head outside the couple’s Arlington home on June 14.

Authorities have remained mum as the CIA investigates, but Schinella’s wife, Sara Corcoran, broke her silence over the weekend, detailing for The Sun her secretive Egyptophile hubby’s final hours — and claiming he wanted to kill her, too, to take her with him to the afterlife.

“My husband was planning on murdering me. He had talked about taking me to the afterlife before,” said Corcoran, a Washington, DC, journalist who had only recently married Schinella.

Corcoran, 46, said Schinella was acting strangely on the night he killed himself, placing a number of odd items on his bedside table, including Chinese zodiac cards, handcuffs and a collection of her love letters to him.

He downed a cup and a half of cheap vodka, then “pulled out a Glock and threatened to kill himself for two hours,” Corcoran told The Sun.

She said she believes Schinella — who was weeks from retirement after 30 years in the CIA — was suffering from stress after being involved in four wars.

Corcoran said she tried to reason with Schinella. But when he started fiddling with the stove, she fled.

“I ran with no shoes on. I was absolutely terrified,” Corcoran recalled. “And I’m trying to start the car, but I pressed the accelerator versus the brake, so the car didn’t start right away.

“So he comes out. He’s pulling on the car handle, yelling. He is frantic. He tried to smash the back window . . . He had a gun and could have shot me in the back of the head.”

As she pulled out in reverse, Schinella yelled her name, then shot himself.

Corcoran said she thinks he also was planning to blow up the home, where she later found loads of bondage items, sex toys and weapons.

“I let my husband have so much privacy as he worked at the CIA. I didn’t know anything. I didn’t even know about the bondage,” she said.

Schinella was a member of the National Intelligence Council, which produces reports that go to the president and other top officials, according to the Intercept.
