Why did my network TV news on 11-19 explain that Ottillie arrived at the ER driven by a friend - bringing the letter she received that had powder, and that the ER had to call HazMat people to contain the letter - yet now the source of her contamination remains 'a mystery' ???

Lundgren's letter tested negative in initial tests for biological material--probably the actual letter was destroyed by her a few days before she got sick.

I too heard this story, not from TV but from FR. Someone posted that Agence France Presse reported the story this way.

I checked the AP newswire and found a report that local "resident" -unnamed- had brought the envelope containing powder to this hospital, bringing on a precautionary evacuation of the building.

Never heard any follow-up.

They didnt. Or if they did its wrong. Someone else from another town nearby brought a letter to the hospital after the Lungren story hit the press.
