The woman suspected of sending ricin-laced envelopes to the White House and several officials in Texas from Canada is set to make her first court appearance today. Pascale Ferrier, identified in U.S. court records, was arrested over the weekend
The woman suspected of sending ricin-laced envelopes to the White House and several officials in Texas from Canada is set to make her first court appearance later this afternoon.
The RCMP, which has been assisting the FBI in its investigation, said they believe the White House letter originated in Canada. Cpl. Charles Poirier, spokesperson for the Quebec division of the RCMP, told reporters there is a link between the residence and the woman suspected of sending the letters, but couldn't confirm whether she lived at the residence.
Ricin is found naturally in castor beans but it can be turned into a fatal — and effective — poison. Exposure to an amount as small as a pinhead can be deadly.
