U.S. anthrax case closed

myp · Feb 19, 2010

The running case from the anthrax attacks almost a decade ago has finally been closed after investigators concluded that the sole attacker was Bruce Ivins, who has since committed suicide. Several documents and information from the case was released after it was announced that the issue would no longer be pursued.

From the link, "Shortly after the FBI named Dr. Ivins as the culprit, his lawyer said the government fingered the wrong man and had a "staggering lack of real evidence."

That is very common in cases where there is a high political dividend to closing a file, especially with a deceased accused who doesn't matter any more. Just one more conspiracy whose answers will never be known.

What an enormous waste of money and resources this must have been to investigate. 2700 pages and on top of everything this guy commited suicide in 2008. Or was it because he did, that he became a suspect. Great however that it at least proved that Steven Hatfill was not the culprit.
