In this Oct. 10, 2001, file photo, Boca Raton Fire & Rescue members assist FBI agents with the investigation at American Media in Boca Raton, Fla., in connection with the death of Robert Stevens, a photo editor at the Sun tabloid. The widow of a tabloid photo editor who died in the 2001 anthrax attacks insisted in a $50 million federal lawsuit filed years ago that the U.S. government was ultimately responsible for his death. Now that the FBI is pinning the blame on government scientist Bruce Ivins, the lawsuit brought by Maureen Stevens looks positively clairvoyant. (AP Photo/Steve Mitchell)AP - Before killing himself last week, Army scientist Bruce Ivins told friends that government agents had stalked him and his family for months, offered his son $2.5 million to rat him out and tried to turn his hospitalized daughter against him with photographs of dead anthrax victims.
