Dr. Bruce Edwards Ivins: America s Unsolved Anthrax Mystery

For several weeks in the Fall of 2001, America was gripped by twin terrorist plots. The September 11 hijackings were a massive world event whose effects continue to ripple throughout most corners of the Earth; in the weeks after the Twin Towers fell, though, there was nearly as much fear and anxiety about a small stream of letters that were intentionally laced with anthrax. The killer was never officially identified, and the case was never formally closed, but one man has been intrinsically linked to the story from beginning to end. This is the story of Dr. Bruce Edwards Ivins: American anthrax expert and bioterror suspect. → Subscribe for new videos four times per week. https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 TopTenz Properties Our companion website for more: http://biographics.org Our sister channel TopTenz: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ-hpFPF4nOKoKPEAZM_THw/ Our Newest Channel about Interesting Places: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCHKRfxkMTqiiv4pF99qGKIw Source/Further reading: Link to Mirage Man: https://www.amazon.com/Mirage-Man-Anthrax-Attacks-Americas/dp/0553807757 Extract from the book, Mirage Man: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-mirage-man-by-david-willman-anthrax-attacker-bruce-ivins-obsessions Washington Post, A Scientist’s Quiet Life Took a Darker Turn: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080102326.html LA Times in-depth obituary of Ivins: https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-xpm-2011-may-29-la-na-anthrax-ivins-20110529-story.html New York Times obituary: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/02/us/02scientist.html?pagewanted=print NPR, Who was Bruce Ivins? https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93194941 Detailed review of Mirage Man: https://www.latimes.com/books/la-xpm-2011-jun-12-la-ca-david-willman-20110612-story.html Wired, Did the Feds Nab the Wrong Guy? https://www.wired.com/2011/03/ff_anthrax_fbi/ FBI Amerithrax files: https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/amerithrax-or-anthrax-investigation History: https://www.history.com/news/anthrax-attacks-terrorism-letters Anthrax letters timeline: https://www.npr.org/2011/02/15/93170200/timeline-how-the-anthrax-terror-unfolded PBS, the case for innocence: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/did-bruce-ivins-hide-attack-anthrax-from-the-fbi/ More doubts: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/new-report-casts-doubt-on-fbi-anthrax-investigation/ Dr. Steven J.
