(CNN) -- Christine Levinson went to the United Nations on Monday to 
ask questions about her husband, Bob, a former FBI agent who vanished 
in Iran last year.

Levinson flew to New York with three of her seven children in hopes 
of meeting the one man she hoped could really get things moving -- 
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is at the United Nations 
for a speech he is scheduled to deliver Tuesday afternoon.

Ahmadinejad declined to meet with her.

"I'm disappointed," she says.

Levinson did meet, however, with the Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. 
ambassador to the United Nations.

"He said he would do whatever he could to help me," she told CNN.

Levinson went to the United Nations with her children -- Susan, 31, 
Sarah, 28, and Douglas, 14. Her husband disappeared in March 2007 
while on a business trip to the Iranian island of Kish.

Bob Levinson is a retired FBI agent from Coral Springs, Florida. 
After leaving the agency, his wife says, he worked as a security 
consultant specializing in cigarette smuggling.

Over the last year and half, Levinson says she has done everything 
she can to draw attention to her husband's disappearance.

She has given interviews, met with 
<http://topics.edition.cnn.com/topics/u_s_department_of_state>U.S. 
State Department officials, set up a Web site -- 
www.helpboblevinson.com -- and staged a rally. She even has offered a 
$5,000 reward, aimed primarily at Iranians who might have information 
about her husband.

Has it yielded any tips?

"No," Christine Levinson says. "Nothing."

Last year, she traveled to Iran to try to retrace her husband's 
steps. Back then, Iranian officials told her they would investigate 
and report back to her.

She says she hasn't heard a word.

"They told me when they have some information, they will let me know 
and in the meantime will continue to search for Bob," Levinson told CNN.

She has denied that her husband was doing business for the US 
government when he went missing -- she says she didn't believe so 
because he's a private citizen. And the State Department and FBI have 
denied he was working for government.

The State Department has demanded Iran free Levinson -- if it is holding him.

Levinson says her husband suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure.

She insists she is confident her husband is all right because "I 
haven't heard anything bad."

At times, she listens to his voicemail message, just to hear his voice.

"I still firmly believe he is alive," she says. "Every day, I tell my 
children to take things one day at a time.

"I just want him to know I'm still looking for him. I'll never stop 
looking for him."

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
