Probe launched after third anthrax case reported
Federal officials opened a criminal inquiry into the source of anthrax at American Media Inc after a third employee tested positive. The investigation focuses on how the bacteria arrived at the Boca Raton office as officials say no lab theft evidence exists. Two coworkers, including 63 year old Robert Stevens who died, remain central to the case. Local and state health teams conducted testing and ordered the AMI building closed for 30 days with assurances of no public health threat.
