The questionable case against Dr. Bruce E. Ivins
Posted on | August 6, 2008 |
As a mystery writer I became interested in Bruce Ivins because it sounds like he was being set up in much the same way that Stephen Hatfill had been. I started reading accounts on different blogs of the evidence that is being leaked against him and most of it appears to be specious or so circumstantial as to be meaningless. There is also evidence of that in advance of trying to sell their theory that he is the anthrax killer, they are trying to ruin his reputation, a common strategy used by law enforcement.
Planted stories by unnamed US government officials about alcohol abuse, mysterious post office boxes, pornography and an apocryphal story about a supposed obsession/fixation with Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority dreamed up to place him in Princeton where one of the anthrax letters was mailed, along with extremely questionable players like Jean Duley often referred to as a psychoanalyst but is no more then a counselor in a drug facility with no apparent degrees of any kind. Almost none of these stories are backed up by any facts and have been talked about in the established media and on the net as though they are true.
Also, I clearly have doubts about the suicide. A dead suspect can’t defend himself against slander and can have his character destroyed with no consequences.
Last year a friend told me about the death of his sister who died because of a Tylenol overdose. Because she had long-term psychiatric problems her death was ruled a suicide . On closer investigation Tylenol can be a very dangerous drug to certain people, especially to anyone who uses alcohol, that would be more then three drinks a day. In the case of my friends sister her liver had been compromised by years of prescribed psychiatric drugs. The doses of Tylenol would not be abnormal but the effects of Tylenol on the liver can be accumulative.
If he was known to have abused alcohol and was given a prescription for Tylenol with codeine that would make a good malpractice case. But it could also be a convenient way to cover up a murder.
