Clueless: That pond in Maryland that was of such intense interest as a possible breakthrough in the anthrax cases has turned dry:
"The FBI spent about $250,000 and three weeks draining 1.45 million gallons of water from the pond in a search for evidence -- including clothing and soil samples -- that might lead to the culprit who sent the deadly anthrax bacteria in the mail that killed five people and sickened 17 others in the fall of 2001.
But the search netted nothing more than a hodgepodge of items -- a gun, a bicycle, fishing lures -- none of which appeared to be linked to the case, sources said."
