Murder manual found in home of fish toxin suspect
posted by admin in Home WarrantyFBI agents have found needles, syringes, six empty vials of deadly puffer fish toxin and a book about poisoning people in the home of a man who allegedly posed as a doctor to get the legal substance.
Agents arrested Bachner on Monday as he took delivery of a package of the deadly fish toxin at a suburban UPS store. Clad in so-called “moon suits” designed to protect them from hazardous materials agents, agents searched his home in suburban Lake in the Hills, finding the needles and other items.
“This is intended as a simple termination, not a defilement of said mark,” one message said, referring to the target. The messages were sent through a server in Canada that agents said kept few records of its customers.
Bachner was charged Monday with “knowingly possessed a biological agent, toxin or delivery system, namely, Tetrodotoxin, of a type or in a quantity that under the circumstances is not reasonably justified by prophylactic, protective, bona fide research or other peaceful purpose.”
Bachner received large quantities of the fish toxin through the mail from legitimate U.S. distributors by using the alias “Edmund Backer” and pretending to be a doctor doing research as part of a company called EB Strategic Research,” agents said.
Bachner was not a doctor and there was no such company, they said.
Early this month, Bachner pressed a legitimate supplier of the substance for amounts that exceeded the allowed amount, court papers said.
