Bruce Almighty

The anthrax suspect who killed himself rather than face the music was (surprise) wacko. Homicidal sociopath. Now that he's off the planet there's no need for the renewal of that restraining order his therapist got after 62-year-old Bruce Ivins threatened her. The Fort Detrick, Maryland bioresearcher was in a psychiatric hopsital, checked himself out last month, and faced another commitment hearing as well as charges in the anthrax deaths that rocked the country in 2001.

NBC's Tom Brokaw got his anthrax missive in the mail. Capitol Hill lawmakers. American Media (home of the National Enquirer and supermarket tabloid central) where a photographer died. [Letter, The Smoking Gun]
