Texas Suspect In Ricin Mailings Blames Actress Wife

Nathaniel Richardson says his wife did it.

Investigators found castor beans — used to make ricin — in suspect Nathaniel Richardson’s car, but the 33-year-old Army veteran was allowed to leave a Texarkana federal courthouse because authorities don’t have enough evidence to hold him, sources said.

Richardson was grilled for hours after being arrested Thursday at Red River Army Depot, where he works, and is “still a suspect,” a source said.

But during questioning, Richardson insisted to the FBI that his pregnant wife, Shannon Rogers Guess, 36, hatched the diabolical plot, according to sources.

Both will be given polygraph tests, a source said.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was a recipient of one of the letters prompted by his stance on gun control.

“You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns,” the missive sent to Bloomberg read. “What’s in this letter is nothing compared to what I have planned for you.”

The letters, which were also sent to the anti-illegal-gun nonprofit Bloomberg helped found, were all sent from Shreveport, La., which is about 100 miles from New Boston.
