Feds offer $100,000 reward in white powder letter case

Federal authorities announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of whoever is sending letters containing white powder to addresses across North Texas.

Investigators have determined the recent letters are similar in postmark and content to those sent to U.S. embassies and governors' offices in December 2008. That case remains unsolved.

Since Aug. 5, at least 25 of the suspicious letters have turned up at churches, mosques and businesses. The powder they contain has tested negative for any dangerous substances.

The letters, postmarked from North Texas, have ended up in Allen, Arlington, Carrollton, Dallas, DeSoto, Fort Worth, Garland, Grand Prairie, Irving, McKinney and Richardson. Additional letters have been received in Austin and Lubbock, as well as Chicago and Waltham, Mass.

2. This is not a good strategery.
They have not thought this through. How many people are thinkin' in North Texas right now " Wow think of how much meth I can buy for $100,000!!!" It's pure word/drug association.

They would turn in their dog.
