BOSTON (AP) -- A former professor accused of killing three colleagues in a shooting rampage in Alabama earlier this year won't be charged in an attempted mail-bombing in Massachusetts 17 years ago.

The chief federal prosecutor in Boston said the initial investigation into two pipe bombs that were mailed to a scientist in 1993 was "appropriate and thorough." The case has never been solved.

Amy Bishop was charged in February with the University of Alabama-Huntsville shootings and in June with her brother's 1986 killing in Massachusetts. She and her husband were questioned about the 1993 pipe bombs, but were never charged.

The original investigation was clearly botched. However there may not be any evidence so many years later.

Why of course there’s no use in going all the way back to 1993 for dastardly deeds done by this upstanding professor...how impractical to think otherwise…

I live in HSV and I hope we will do a much better job than the nuts in MA.

The report broke the day after it was learned that Bishop fatally shot her brother in Braintree in 1986. ..."

Whatever.

She’s going down for the shootings, and Mass. wouldn’t fry her anyway.

Alabama will.
