In 1991, she was retained by self proclaimed arms dealer and money launderer, Richard Brenneke, to co-author his autobiography. Discovering that he was a con artist who was drawing her into literary fraud, she contacted former CIA agent-turned-journalist, Frank Snepp, and with him, exposed Brenneke and subsequently proved that the October Surprise conspiracy[23] was a hoax, as chronicled in the series of articles Snepp wrote for the Village Voice[23] with Adler's research assistance. Her work was the subject of a a chapter in Robert Parry's book, "Trick or Treason: The October Surprise Mystery" and she was interviewed by PBS' "Frontline" [24] In mid-1992, learning that a Congressional Task Force was investigating whether or not there actually had been an October Surprise, she contacted investigative journalist and author Steven Emerson,[25] who put her in touch with the Task Force so that she could turn over to them the seventy cartons of documents she'd hauled east from Brenneke’s home in Portland, Oregon, in order to write his memoirs. Subsequently, she worked as a consultant to the Task Force,[26] and assisted in drafting and editing a portion of the Brenneke section of their final report. Following a divorce in the mid 1990s, Adler dropped the Robohm and resumed the use of her maiden name.
