When microbiologists were asked in 2002 to consider whether one of their peers had mailed anthrax spores nationwide, the current director of the Oregon National Primate Research Center was quick to call the FBI.
In September 2001, a government scientist -- who Nancy Haigwood, director of the Hillsboro center, says stalked her for decades -- sent Haigwood and other acquaintances a photo of himself working with anthrax at the U.S. Army's Fort Detrick research center.
The scientist, Bruce Ivins, 62, killed himself last month as the FBI was building a case that he sent anthrax-tainted letters that killed five people in 2001.
