2001 Anthrax Attacks - 679
About this episode
The episode discusses the anthrax attacks that occurred after 9/11, the investigation that followed, and the controversies surrounding the case's conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began arriving at newsrooms and Senate offices, killing five people and sending the country into a second wave of panic. The investigation that followed lasted years, consumed governmental resources, and ultimately pointed to a lone government scientist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died before he faced trial. The government closed the case in 2011, but not everyone was convinced they got it right.
