I would not be shocked to eventually learn that the call is coming from inside the house

Remembering after 9/11 when multiple lawmakers received Anthrax in the mail and then the scientist in the US Army, who supposedly did it, committed suicide before charges could be filed.

His name was Bruce Ivins. Charges were filed. He was hounded the same way Aaron Swartz was by Robert Mueller's FBI (he was director at the time).

Later, it was all but proven he was innocent. Essentially the FBI overstated their case and it was extremely unlikely that Ivins could have made anthrax so pure in the lab facilities he had access to.
