There was no anthrax letter mailed from Florida. All the anthrax letters were mailed from New Jersey - some probably from Princeton, although all got a Trenton postmark.
There were two mailings. The first - postmarked September 18, 2001, - apparently consisted of 5 letters addressed to the media: Peter Jennings at ABC, Dan Rather at CBS, Tom Brokaw at NBC, The New York Post and The National Enquirer in Lantana, FL. The second mailing - postmarked Oct. 9, 2001, - consisted of two letters addressed to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. The letters to the Post, Brokaw, Daschle and Leahy have been recovered. The letters to ABC, CBS and The National Enquirer were not recovered.
The J-Lo letter has nothing to do with the anthrax attacks. It arrived at the AMI building on September 19, 2001, and contained NO anthrax. It was opened and passed around on the 3rd floor, and the third floor was the least contaminated floor in the building. Moreover, one of the people who tested positive for exposure to anthrax was Stephanie Dailey who was on vacation at that time. She opened the real anthrax letter on September 25, 2001, at her desk. The entire area around her desk is the most thoroughly contaminated area in the AMI building. She was resposible for opening letters addressed to newspapers other than the Sun, and, since The National Enquirer offices in Lantana had been closed down a year earlier, the letter was forwarded to Boca Raton and she opened it when she returned from her vacation.
There are charts on my web site which show how the 3 floors at the AMI building were contaminated. Just click HERE.
There is a great deal of bad information out there because the first anthrax case diagnosed was Bob Stevens in Florida. In reality, however, SEVEN people got anthrax before Stevens. There's a chart of all the cases HERE.
Instead of just working from memory, you might consider checking www.anthraxinvestigation.com . The facts are all there.
