Just a history note, in 1972 the Mississippi River was 26 miles wide at Memphis from November to January of '73.
It's I-40 that crosses the Big River on the Hernando Desoto Bridge. I-55 is the road south into Mississippi, to the Tunica casinos, among other delights.
I missed the '73 flood, but was at St Louis for the 1993 rainy season. I don't know about 26 miles across, but there were many flood areas where the opposite *shore* couldn't be seen.

Dr. Don C. Wiley, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Harvard University, was one of the most prominent microbiologists in the world.
He had won many of the field's most prestigious awards, including the 1995 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for work that could make anti-viral vaccines a reality.
He was heavily involved in research on DNA sequencing, and was last seen at around midnight on December 16, leaving the St. Jude's Children's Research Advisory Dinner at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN. Associates attending the dinner said he showed no signs of intoxication, and no one has admitted to drinking with him.
IMHO
The common denominators are:
1. anti-viral vaccines research AFTER VIRAL IDENTIFICATION!
2. The Children's Hospitals of the WORLD.
3. These Worldwide Children's Hospitals have both LABS/STORAGE and MAILING NETWORKS.
4. These Hospitals and THEIR affiliated labs/storage/delivery-systems have to be the "Golden Goose" of OPERATIONS for the ______________ networks!
5. PLUS,.....their access to human children provide them with 'unauthorized', private, 'special' and 'independent' research.
6. Common/Known labeling could have ADDED, 'special' numerical/alphabetical/symbolic identifiers. (??rashes??)
IMHO
