Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
To do quest was to send a gangster to another faction as a mole. He has completed the duration of that role and on his review page no longer says mole. But he hasn't returned back to safehouse, and I can't see him anywhere on map to get access to him.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Complete the basic quest line of making one of the gangsters as a mole. Wait for duration to be done and the gangster doesn't return or I don't have access to him.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?

Hey @MainKingD, sorry to hear you've experienced something similar. Can you tell me a bit more about how it's affecting you, please? Were there any specific steps you took in the lead-up to noticing this? What platform are you playing on?

I’m having exactly the same issue as MainKingD. Happened when I set a crew member to work as a mole to fulfill the mission requirements, but right after I hired an additional crew member to replace the missing spot left by the departing mole. I was moving the crew from one neighborhood to another and noticed that the new crew member hadn’t come along. So I selected his avatar and moved him via taxi to the neighborhood where the rest of my crew was. When I got them all together I pushed X to control them as a group. I’m pretty sure that’s right about when the crew member I had set as a mole showed up on a street corner with a magnifying glass over her head. Now I can’t do anything with her but inspect her. Her status still says “mole” but I’m reasonably certain it’s been more than six months since she was set as a mole. I’ve tried ungrouping and regrouping while near the mole. I can’t reassign her. Not sure what to do. Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will resolve itself as happened with MainKingD. I hold rather that it didn’t happen because a crew member died though...

Would love to but unfortunately the issue has resolved itself. The mole was killed by the rival and so has disappeared. I suppose this means the problem is just that it isn’t clear what the status of a character is, while they’re in mole status, because they appear standing on the street with a magnifying glass over their heads. If you can imagine a screenshot that looks like that, you’ll know what’s up. How did the character end up that way? No clue, but that’s why I reached out.

Hey folks, just following up on this one. There should a fix for this in our 1.05 update, can you confirm if the issue has been resolved for you after updating? :)

I am having this same issue on the switch, only I can't find my character at all. She's losing morale for being alone for too long, but it's been more than six months and I can't select her or get rid of mole status.
