Agreed. But my point was "why Hatfill and not Ivins?"
She contacted people she knew, and Hatfill's name came up. He had worked at Ft. Detrick, and he had been featured in some article about how bioweapons can be cooked up at home.
So it looks like it was just that he was the first one to fit some assumptions and suspicions...and she stuck with it.
IIRC, she claimed never to have fingered him by name, yet she did claim at one point to have pushed the FBI.
What's she up to these days...any idea?
She was in her 70's when the anthrax attacks occurred. That means she's in her 80's now. What do people in their 80's usually do? If she's still working, she's teaching at a college in upstate New York.
I think she focused on Hatfill because he was a flamboyant character, a blow-hard, and there were rumors that he worked for the CIA in Africa, where there was a major anthrax outbreak at one time - when Hatfill was in Africa.
Rosbenberg never apologized to Hatfill. She stated that, if Hatfill was innocent, then it's the FBI's fault for investigating him, not hers.
