The Steven Hatfiel Court Documents
A misguided investigation continued for years into the original suspect, Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, who in June won a $5.8-million settlement from the FBI and the Justice Department for violating his privacy rights. On Aug. 8, the U.S. attorney for Washington explicitly exonerated Hatfill from any involvement in the mailings.
The documents were made public by order of a federal judge, because the investigation of the mailings was a matter of high public interest and among the most complex and expensive in the annals of federal law enforcement.
