FBI: Hundreds of letters with white power likely the work of someone in Texas; $150,000 rewardThe FBI says it suspects the mailings of hundreds of envelopes containing white powder over the last four years are the work of someone in Texas.
The FBI released a statement Wednesday saying the letters contain postmarks from North Texas and similar references to subjects such as al-Qaida and Nazis. A $150,000 reward is being offered for information leading to a conviction in the case.
More than 380 threatening letters in envelopes containing white powder have shown up across the U.S. and overseas since 2008. Last week, more than 20 were mailed to daycare centers, elementary schools and an aerospace-related business in Texas and other states.

The letters also have been sent to government offices, churches, schools, restaurants and U.S. embassies overseas.

(57,936 posts)Can you imagine. That's a whole novel -- 380 pages.
Doesn't this person have better things to do with his life?
There's hiking, listening to music, spending time with friends, knitting, etc., gardening, working at a job, watching TV or people, the internet, reading, making stuff -- furniture, fixing up old cars, body-building, what do I know????
Surely this person has some interests other than writing letters. There are millions of things more interesting than writing threatening letters.
What a crackpot.
It should be easy to find this person. By this time, he should have shown up in a doctor's office with writer's cramp.
