An FBI agent testified today that no ricin was found during a search of the Mississippi home of the man charged with sending letters tainted with the toxic substance to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator.

Agent Brandon Grant also told a federal judge in Oxford, Mississippi, during a hearing today that investigators found no trace of the deadly poison in defendant Paul Kevin Curtis’s vehicle, his ex-wife’s home or his parents’ house.

2. Maybe he has an offsite storage rentalu unit that he set up shop in? n/t

3. Interesting. Could they have been contaminated after he sent them? Or is that even possible?
