A Mississippi man accused of mailing letters with suspected ricin to President Obama believed he had uncovered a conspiracy to sell human body parts on the black market and sometimes performed as an Elvis Presley impersonator using the stage name KC.
Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, was arrested on Wednesday at 5:15pm at his apartment in Corinth, Mississippi near the Tennessee state line about 100 miles east of Memphis, FBI officials announced yesterday.
He is accused of sending ricin-laced letters this week to the President and to Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi, that arrived just one day after the deadly bombings in Boston.
Curtis posted hordes of pictures on his Myspace page showing him from the 1980s and 90s
Curtis had previously sent letters to Sen. Wicker and officials from his office alerted authorities about the frequency of his correspondence when the suspicious letter was found.
The suspect was originally identified by federal sources as Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Miss, according to local media reports. It is not known if Curtis has used Kenneth as an alias.
