"Authorities believe the letter, which has an October9,2001-Trenton,NJ postmark,passed through the Hamilton,NJ regional processing center at the same time as the "anthrax letters": acquiring a taint as a result."

From an article in Nov. 2001:


The Brokaw and Post letters arrived at the Trenton, New Jersey, processing center, in Hamilton Township, on September 18 and had their postage canceled within three hours of each other. Still, officials could not say definitively whether the letters arrived together at the post office.

Those two letters passed through the same letter canceler, and a worker who did maintenance on that machine later contracted cutaneous anthrax.

The Daschle letter arrived in the Hamilton Township facility October 9 and was canceled at 5:45 p.m. It arrived October 11 at the Brentwood facility in Washington, where four postal workers contracted inhalation anthrax and two of them died.

I am wondering that out of the thousands of letters that probabably passed through at the same time approximately, why did they save this one as evidence. Who was it from and to whom?

... Postal Inspectors and FBI agents made an effort to locate and check out other mail processed through that facility on or near that date, and succeeded in tracking down the letter referred to, and in retrieving it from its recipient, in Beebe, Arkansas.

Any FOB's in Beebe?
