About this episode
In the weeks after 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began arriving at newsrooms and Senate offices, killing five people and sending the country into a second wave of panic. The investigation that followed lasted years, consumed governmental resources, and ultimately pointed to a lone government scientist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died before he faced trial. The government closed the case in 2011, but not everyone was convinced they got it right.
