The CBC reported that an apartment near Montreal has been searched and that police believe that Pascale Ferrier sent six letters, one to the White House, and five to addresses in Texas.
The package addressed to US President Donald Trump was reportedly intercepted earlier in the week and two tests were conducted, confirming the presence of the deadly poison ricin.
