I agree. This guy was playing with fire. I don’t know what his plans were. Perhaps it gave him a sense of importance to have something that potent in his posession. It sure isn’t something I would want around. No way.
Its too bad we can’t write our own version of CSI episodes and have the show do them. I would have had the cop show up at the husband’s room...telling him the woeful news of the wife dying of a apparent heart attack on the blackjack floor...and there on the table in front of the cop...were several brochures of pontoon boats...making the cop very suspicious. Later...the husband indicates that he never....ever....took the wife on Vegas trips and this was the first one. Then the cop follows the husband to some strip-joint in town where he pays off some farmer from Iowa who comes down to Vegas each year to whack off five or six wives for guys....to help make the mortgage payment on the farm that he operates in Iowa, which is a failure but he won’t admit it. Then at the very end of the episode...the farmer-killer dies mysteriously as his dear wife arrives in Vegas to discover that these trips to the Farmer’s convention were all fake.
Thanks for the ping. There was a pic of both Bergendorf and Tholen side by side in one of the threads. Let me get a cup of coffee in me and will see if I can find it.
Been so busy, I haven’t even pinged the list yet.
Be back in a bit.
Ricin take take days to kill, and it's a nasty way to go.

Sounds like the guns with silencers were intended to be used on a security guard or maintenance worker or both so he could get access to the air conditioning system.
Most likely a blackmail plot and the ricin was to be dispersed over people on a casino floor.
His plot against the casino was airborne dispersal of the poison.
Ping to thread for those still interested in this bizarre story:
Deo volente has been following the story and posted this NEW INFO!!
Don’t remember any news about the ‘injection device drawings’ found....do you?
(hope I did not leave anyone out of the ping list. had to make it from scratch again, so forgive me if you were not on the list)
Hey there penelope!!! Thx for the ping...and yes I am still very, very interested in this. I had never seen (in the previous threads) the photos side by side...eery resemblance wouldn’t you say?
Sounds reasonable to me as well. I agree.
Thanks for the ping.
No, hadn’t heard anything about injection pen. Weird.
So we finally know the amount of ricin they found—4 grams. And he’d been at it for almost 10 years. Wonder if they found it all? Or if maybe he’d even used it? I doubt many hospitals would think to look for ricin poisoning.
And the subject in question illustates how well that recipe works. Think about it.
“....eery resemblance wouldn’t you say?”
YES!! They look more like brothers, not cousins. Don’t you just love his ‘defense’:...”I am not a criminal, I am not a robber, I am not a thief, I am not a rapist, I am not a child molester,” Bergendorff mumbled in a soft but scratchy voice. “It’s not in my blood.”
LOL..he left out ‘murderer and terrorist’..(eye roll)
Good point. I also didn’t read anywhere before now that the guns had no serial numbers. I knew he had made silencers for them from another article. He sounds like an assassin ready to do ‘contract work’ for someone else.
Thanks for the ping and yes, I am still interested.
