Looks like he did it, the asshole

The Los Angeles Times has more on the Bruce Ivins case. While he committed suicide back in July, thus avoiding the issue, it looks like they really do have the evidence against him.

Over the past several years, the FBI searched worldwide to gather 1,070 samples of deadly Ames-strain anthrax -- the type used in the mailings. Only eight of those anthrax samples contained four distinct genetic mutations -- the same mutations found in the mailings. And each of those eight samples, officials allege, could be traced to parent material, known as RMR 1029, that was maintained by Ivins in a one-liter flask he controlled in a Fort Detrick lab.
In addition to the far-reaching scientific efforts, investigators used conventional police work to exclude as suspects about one hundred others who may have had access to RMR 1029 at Ft. Detrick and elsewhere.
"I don't think we're ever going to put the suspicions to bed," said Vahid Majidi, a chemist and assistant director of the FBI's weapons of mass destruction unit. "There's always going to be a spore on a grassy knoll."

'A spore on a grassy knoll'? Rico says he's unused to the FBI being deliberately funny...
