Maybe Ivins Was Obsessed with New Jersey
Though the FBI declared Ivins the sole perpetrator of the 2001 anthrax attacks, closing the case on Aug. 6, Ivins' attorney Paul Kemp maintains his client's innocence. The Justice Department must think Kemp is onto something because it's keeping the investigation open. Among the reasons why Kemp thinks Ivins might not be guilty of mailing anthrax-stuffed envelopes from a mailbox outside of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority: the mailbox was not really located outside of the sorority.
20 Nassau Street, the location of the Kappa outpost near the mailbox, is an office that holds "rush paraphernalia, initiation robes and other materials." It does not hold live Kappas.
In the Daily Princetonian, Kemp says:
The only thing that exists at 20 Nassau Street is a business office. They don’t have sorority offices. There is no sorority house. If the idea of this salacious report is that he went because there were girls ... there aren’t any girls at 20 [Nassau Street]. It’s bullshit.
Why would Ivins drive all the way from Fort Detrick, MD to Princeton, NJ if the mailbox has no Kappa connection? Well, Kemp's argument is that he wouldn't. Of course, Ivins could have been satisfied by 20 Nassau's weak Kappa connection. Or it could be a coincidence, with Ivins picking 20 Nassau at random. You decide!
