Likely the reason this has reached a dead-end and the trail is ice cold is because the perpetrators got incinerated in the World Trade Center attack.
The letters were postmarked September 8th.
If some guy sitting at his computer sipping a cup of coffee can figure that out, why can't the Dick Tracy crowd at the FBI?
The pieces were simply discovered a week later and sent into a facility in New Jersey in a mail tray ~ that's why they left NO TRAIL in New Jersey prior to their arrival at the canceling machine.
If they'd been dumped into a letter box in New Jersey (FBI's erroneous theory), they'd contaminated the entire 010 operation, but they didn't.
Not so. The first batch of letters sent to the media were postmarked on September 18, a week after the 9/11 hijackers died. The second batch sent to the two senators were postmarked on October 9, almost a MONTH after the 9/11 hijackers died.
