Anthrax Case Solved?

[sdreid]

The ones who should be looked at most closely are the non-famous related who were directly targeted. That is, not the high profile attacks or those who had incidental contact like mail handlers. That leaves us with two for the most in need of scrutiny. Those are Kathy Nguyen and Ottilie Lundgren.

I can't help but notice that the two people in this category are women and the are the also the only females who were killed.

According to some accounts, more died from that than the atomic bombings.

Or, when the Japanese delivered plague to the Chinese via "air mail" about 70 years ago.

As far as I can recall, this is the the only murder that has been successfully carried out by sending a biological agent through the mail. That is, unless you count the smallpox infected blankets that were delivered to Native Americans 250 years ago.

[sdreid]

Perhaps some other mailing murderer cases should also be compared such as Ted Kaczynski and the unsolved Zip-Gun Bomber Case.

Of course in the case of Hofrichter, there were no red herring murders. He knew all and intended to kill all that mailed to.

That is to be presumed at least. It is possible, however, that he did have a "favorite" victim.

A probably even better example is the case of Adolph Hofrichter in Austria during 1909. He anonymously mailed cyanide laced pills to twelve former classmates from military school because he was jealous of their better success in the army. The supposed samples were said to be for enhancing sexual performance. One of the targets, Richard Mader, took the bait and died. Again, the killer sent the toxic agent to people he knew personally and wanted to murder.

Hi Jukka:

Yes, approximately half of the main suspects who were mentioned at one time or another committed suicide.

Hello, Stan!

This is a bit rough to say, but;

Death seems to be good friend of the suspects with this case!

All the best
Jukka

The Tylenol case is simpler because the contaminant was only found in 5 homes. With Anthrax, you have a bunch of both fatal and nonfatal attacks; any of which could have been the target, that is, if that's the scenario.

Thanks Jordon but it was mostly a hobby that I got paid a little for so it was no big deal. I have a pension to live on.

On a personal note, I sort of lost my job because of this guy, whoever he was. At the time of the attacks, I was writing monthly articles for America's Most Wanted News Magazine. This publication was sent out of a Virginia post office where one of the attacks occurred and this resulted in a suspension of publishing for a few months. During that time, subscribers were lost that they were unable to regain after the magazine resumed printing. After about a year, publication ceased.

Wow that really sucks. Hope things are going better for you now.
