John Richardson may be linked to a former Navy sailor, Fox News reported Wednesday, citing unnamed U.S. officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report cited U.S. officials saying a return address was the potential link to the former sailor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two packages suspected to contain ricin were caught at the Pentagon\u2019s mail processing facility Monday before they reached their intended recipients, and a third letter, addressed to President Donald Trump, was intercepted by the Secret Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The content in the packages that triggered the alert \u201cappears to be castor seeds, from [which] ricin is derived,\u201d said Pentagon press secretary Dana White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fourth package, which sent staffers to the hospital, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FBIHouston\/status\/1047190251989557248\">was mailed to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas,<\/a> office, however that incident, which was identified to not be a hazardous substance, is not believed to be linked to the other two incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An FBI official said the bureau was working in coordination with the Secret Service on the White House and Pentagon packages, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DoD official said the Pentagon was aware of the reports that the sender was potentially a former service member, but directed all inquiries to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has the lead on the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, a spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service directed all inquiries to the FBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This story is breaking and will be updated as new information becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: U.S. officials say return address on one of envelopes mailed to Pentagon lead authorities to suspect former U.S. Navy sailor responsible.
