From Times Wire Reports
The space shuttle pilot at the center of a bizarre love triangle that included a former astronaut who now faces attempted kidnapping charges is leaving the space agency, NASA said in Houston.
Cmdr. William A. Oefelein will leave NASA on June 1, nearly four months after authorities believe his cooled relationship with Lisa Marie Nowak led her to drive 900 miles from Houston to Florida and confront her romantic rival.
Oefelein was being assigned to the Naval Network Warfare Command in Norfolk, Va.
