Ep 1 - PART 1 - WHO MAILED THE ANTHRAX LETTERS? (1/5)

On September 11, 2001, Americans watched in disbelief as jumbo jets crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The country was under attack.

Families huddled around their televisions, waiting to see if other hijacked planes were still in the sky, on a collision course with more iconic symbols of American democracy.

In the weeks immediately following 9/11, in a state of collective shock, America anxiously waited for the next shoe to fall.

Then the anthrax letters came.

Despite spending hundreds of thousands of investigative hours and hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, the government never charged or tried, let alone convicted, a single suspect.

So, over twenty years later, we are still left wondering who unleashed the worst bioterror attack in American history.

This post contains the first half of Chapter 1 of Anthrax to Zodiac. We examine the background and context of the attacks and look at the early part of the timeline of events involved in the mailings.
