After suicide, feds consider closing anthrax case

WASHINGTON - Answers to one of the nation's most high-profile unsolved mysteries are in documents that could be released as early as this week _ and help explain how the government chased the wrong suspect for years.


Prosecutors were mulling this weekend whether to close the investigation of anthrax poisoning early this week, possibly as early as Monday or Tuesday. If that happens, court documents detailing newly developed scientific evidence that recently led the government to Bruce E. Ivins may be unsealed.

Five people died and 17 others were sickened when anthrax-laced letters began showing up at congressional offices, newsrooms and post offices soon after Sept. 11, 2001.

After wrongly investigating Army scientist Steven Hatfill, the FBI more than a year ago began looking at Ivins, who worked at the same military lab. Ivins, a decorated scientist who was working on an anthrax cure, killed himself last Tuesday.

Two U.S. officials said victims and their survivors could be briefed as early as Tuesday on the final piece of the bioterrorism attacks that confounded the government.

Report: Therapist feared anthrax scientist, thought he was attempting to poison people

The therapist for Bruce E. Ivins told a judge that as far back as 2000, the late microbiologist suspected in the 2001 anthrax attacks had attempted to poison people and that she was "scared to death" of him, according to an audiotape of the session that emerged Saturday.

Social worker Jean Duley testified at a hearing in Frederick on July 24 in a successful bid for a protective order from Ivins. The New York Times obtained a recording of the hearing and posted it on its Web site Saturday.

"As far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually attempted to murder several other people, either through poisoning. He is a revenge killer. When he feels that he's been slighted or has had — especially toward women — he plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings," Duley said.

The nuts are the ones who set up the anthrax caper.

Jesus, there was someone out there saying he was a revenge killer, and they gave him all that power in the labs?

The whole thing smells like week-old fish.

I have only come across very few who believe the story at all. Even the Freepers don't believe it and the news media has started to question it. Seems they overestimated how stupid the public is. That, or the FBI has become completely incompetent at set ups.

He was quite incensed about it, saying Americans would never know the truth, saying that the feds are happily shutting everything down tight. We will never be allowed to know what happened.

That's a crime all in its own.

They leaked what they wanted to leak.

unhinged?

As I believe that there was a reason why they would put continue to put someone like him in power, until he became expendable.

the question is, what did they do to piss this guy off?

"As far back as the year 2000, the respondent has actually attempted to murder several other people, either through poisoning. He is a revenge killer. When he feels that he's been slighted or has had — especially toward women — he plots and actually tries to carry out revenge killings," Duley said.

they're obviously GUILTY ---

and by the way he's the third or fourth or fifth guy to be "suspected" of this ????

What a fuckin' surprise. Geez, I HATE these people.

and was going to use it to murder, but, I digress. Nothing left to see here, move along, case closed. :wtf:

And don't the police have an obligation to make sure they get on a list to keep them from buying a handgun?

Of course, he's not around to defend himself....

that therapist lady sounds like a real winner.

The story is becoming less and less believable the more "fact" they throw around.
