Officials suspect a former Navy sailor is behind the multiple letters containing suspicious substances sent to the Pentagon, White House and Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) office in his home state this week, Fox News reported Wednesday.
Investigators told the media outlet that one of the envelopes sent to the Pentagon had a return address leading back to the sailor, whose name has not been revealed.
Multiple letters mailed to Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chief of Naval Operations John Richardson on Monday tested positive for ricin, a toxic substance that is easy to produce and has been used in terror plots.
