Indeed, it was the first time Recycler had made contact. The letter had been sent from the same location in Illinois and at the same time and date he’d sent the letter bombs that killed a computer scientist in Silicon Valley and injured a receptionist who worked for a biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Additionally, hidden in the letter was a barely legible line, which seemed to be a message left involuntarily while writing with a pencil on top of the letter’s paper. Analyzed under infrared light, it read: Call Nathan R.—Wed. 7 pm. The FBI searched for someone with that name, but once again it was a joke by the amusing Recycler (they couldn’t trace it to anyone with that first name and last initial). It included a code number to identify his future communications. The number matched the Social Security number of an inmate from the penitentiary in Sonora, California. Menéndez and four of his agents went to the prison and burst in on one of the cells. The detainee was a black man, accused of murder, who’d been a forest ranger in Montana and had killed several tourists who were camping in the mountains and then started a fire that endangered the area. He’d killed them and buried them in the hollows of the northern hills. He didn’t know anything, didn’t understand what they were talking about. They took him to a special room to interrogate him, turned on the spotlights, made him strip naked, and then, stupefied, the agents discovered that, on his chest, the man had a tattoo that said Pure Wood. Whoever sent the letter was laughing at them.
