Woman Accused of Mailing Ricin to President Trump Identified

The Canadian woman accused of mailing envelopes containing the poison ricin to President Donald J. Trump and local law enforcement agencies has been identified.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation identified Pascale Ferrier, 53, as the suspect in this case. . .

An unidentified Canadian national was arrested Sunday while trying to enter the United States from Canada and is believed to have been responsible for mailing a letter addressed to President Donald J. Trump containing the highly toxic poison that can cause organ failure and death.

The Associated Press reported that multiple law enforcement agencies in the Rio Grande Valley were also mailed letters containing ricin over the weekend and are believed to have been mailed by the same person.

Mission police spokesman Investigator Art Flores confirmed that a letter was received by Mission police on Thursday or Friday but it was not immediately clear if the letter contained ricin or not. The suspect, he said, was arrested by Mission police last year. (Read more from “Woman Accused of Mailing Ricin to President Trump Identified” HERE)
