"IF the anthrax arrived at AMI other than the US mail, why then would Stephanie Daily and Ernesto Blanco be the only two other persons who tested positive."

Blanco worked the mailroom. Stephanie opened some letters. But Bob Stevens had nothing to do with the mailroom. It's Stevens that the letter theory doesn't fit.

Sure, the anthrax *could* have been sent via a letter (though no such letter was ever found), but it could also have come in through tainted cash.

Cash follows funny paths that could easily have crossed by all three AMI employees.

Your cash theory is interesting, however does not bear out. Stevens would have carried the cash out of the building and distributed it in the community and on vacation in North Carolina.

There are no reports that I know of anywhere else of infections in those areas. Only the locations where the mail would have arrived and been opened, examined and then discarded. I think they routinely destroyed all the mail they got each day in an incinerator.

Bob Stevens would have been the recipient of some of the mail. He was a photo editor. Reportedly he had the habit of holding things very close to his face so he could see. This would enhance the travels of the spores.

They also say that Otillie Lundgren ripped her junk mail up and Kathy Nguyen loved to smell everything.
