"Members of the Ivinses' immediate family hadn't lived in Lebanon since the early 1980s. According to Bruce Ivins' eldest brother, Tom Ivins, he came to town to move their father, T. Randall Ivins, to Maryland after he wrote a $10,000 check to a woman who had befriended him."
"After completing his doctorate at the University of Cincinnati, Bruce Ivins is believed to have returned to the county seat of about 20,000 only to sell the house and attend his father's funeral.
"Bruce Ivins was so seldom present that the "Memory Lane" columnist for the local weekly newspaper, The Western Star, once erroneously reported that he had died. The author corrected the error in a subsequent column.
"Bruce Ivins' mother died in 1970. Tom Ivins said that Bruce was at her side in the hospital. Randall Ivins closed the drugstore soon thereafter, and Bruce sold the family home - which locals say his father had built to resemble a house he saw in France - in the mid-1980s.
----
and from the beginning of the article:
"The agents said Bruce Ivins, 62, the youngest son of the town's long-deceased druggist, had faked his death. And they wanted to know everything about him and his family."

Sorry, link is from old segment. Will post correct link when it is up.
Posner on Countdown questioned the timeline which is something like:
July 10 - Ivins is committed
July 16 - Ivins signs himself out
July 24 - Duley files her stuff
Among the questions are - if Ivins was so terrifying why did Duley wait a week? And of course, how did Ivins get to sign himself out?

I'm amazed there are sources that specialize in mailed pornographic images of blindfolded women. Learn something new every day!
Bruce Ivins is not it, as per a Spertzel op-ed in the WSJ.
I don't touch the WSJ with a long pole, here's the dkos story

If the FBI had a good case, we wouldn't see all these leaks that are utterly irrelevant to establishing Ivins' guilt. If the public swallows all this and subsequently the FBI's circumstantial-only evidence, then there will be no pressure to force ABC to reveal its sources.
Even with public opinion firmly against the FBI, the chances of anything happening are minimal. But unless we poke all the holes possible into the government story, there is zero chance of getting anywhere.
Most readers of this thread know Spertzel's antecedents. It would be impossible to make any collection of information here if we had to keep prefacing it with every bit of information already gathered.
What has gone out of control? And out of whose control?
I think the resources to moderate the comments are not there. One learns quickly to skip the 9/11 and civil war comments, and the personality contests between various participants. Maybe the comments thread seems chaotic to one who has not yet learned to do this.
"Mr. Ivins’ father, Thomas Randall Ivins, was a 1928 graduate of Princeton University, confirmed Emily Aronson, a Princeton University media relations officer."

Brad Friedman has obtained interesting evidence of Ivins' political leanings, including the fact that he was a registered Democrat who has voted in numerous Democratic primaries since 1996.
Ivins was evidently a psychic and upset in 2001 by his visions of the Democratic cave-in on FISA in 2007. Of course, he didn't see clearly enough to send it to Reid rather than Daschle.
