White powder found in Pennsylvania courthouse
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A suspicious white powder was found in a county courthouse in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Friday, a local sheriff said.
The Lehigh County Courthouse was not evacuated and there were no injuries reported, Lehigh County Sheriff Ronald Rossi said.
Rossi said a letter had arrived in the courthouse mail room on Friday morning and an assistant had found white powder inside the envelope.
"That is what started this whole thing," Rossi said. "They don't know if this is the real thing. They have to test the powder."
A local Hazardous Material team was examining the powder, Rossi said.
Suspicious substances were sent to two Florida courthouses on Thursday, reviving memories of the 2001 anthrax attacks that raised biological warfare fears soon after September 11.
Up to five people came into contact with the potentially hazardous materials at each Florida courthouse, located in Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale. No injuries were reported.

I looked for an update on the body, but basically allI could find was that it was frozen in pieces and no mention if any ID was found.
Thanks for the post, freeperfromnj.
