I alerted the police, the Chapel Hill police, and eventually they and the post office were able to open the sealed box and there was my notebook.

The police asked me what I thought might have happened. And I said, I suppose it's some kind of prank, but I can't imagine anybody would really do this. It's rather cruel. And I didn't really think anybody from my own lab would do that. And I said, the one person that I'm a little suspicious of doesn't live here anymore. And that's Bruce Ivins.

over the subsequent years since i met bruce and while i was finishing my phd i think that bruce had exhibited more oddball behavior than i had originally seen and i was starting to feel kind of uncomfortable around him and i remember actually talking to him and saying that i i wish him well but that He was married. I'm not really looking for a friend.

And I attempted to, I won't say cut off the relationship, but make it clear to him that certainly anything other than the occasional hello in the lab was not really that welcome.

I called Bruce because that had his fingerprints all over it and said, Bruce, I really do not appreciate this. I believe you're the only person who would have done something like this. And he denied it, but it was clear that he had done that.

I'd never known anyone like that. Scientists are pretty weird people, but this is a far another order of magnitude or two beyond that.

They asked if I would be willing to meet with him, and I ultimately decided not to do that because I thought it was too dangerous. And I had two young children, and I just didn't want to do it.
