Texas Suspect In Ricin Mailings Claims Actress Wife Sent Poison
2013-06-03
[NYPost] The Texas man questioned by the feds in connection with ricin-laced letters sent to Mayor Bloomberg and President B.O. was let go yesterday -- after he wildly claimed his actress wife sent the poisoned screeds, The Post has learned.

The flame-haired, thrice-married mom of five is the one who called police to the couple's New Boston, Texas, home after she found "Tupperware with what looked like ricin in the refrigerator," a source said.

"He says they are going through a divorce and that she was away for a few days," said one law-enforcement source. "He says it was when she got back that she found the [purported] ricin."

#3  There's a picture of one of the letters, and it wasn't "ricin", but castor bean paste. There's some ricin in there, and you'd be screwed if you ate it, but it's not the same as refined, dried ricin powder.

The stuff is used as a fertilizer, fer crissake.
