Where We Live: Anthrax Attacks
The Anthrax attacks of 2001 terrified a nation already shaken by 9/11. Five people died, and many others were sickened. One death hit home - 94 year old Ottellie Lundgren of Oxford Connecticut.
The investigation into who launched these attacks pointed to one man - a government scientist named Bruce Ivins. He committed suicide before he was charged - and that seemed to close the case. But McClatchy newspapers, ProPublica and PBS’ Frontline took up the thread again, and have been reporting a comprehensive series that pokes holes in the FBIs investigation and leaves open questions about whodunnit. Today we talk to Stephen Engelberg, managing editor at ProPublica.
