After more than a year of investigation by San Marino, Calif., police, the FBI, Postal inspectors, and other agencies, the case of who has been sending threatening letters to the vice principal of San Marino High School has been solved. The culprit? The supposed victim herself, Mary Andrea Mitchel, 41. Mitchel had claimed the 39 threatening letters had been sent by students, so detectives followed her to ensure she was not harmed. Then, police say, Mitchel finally admitted she had written the letters to get attention, leading to 123 criminal charges that could land her in prison for 30 years. The letters were simply "a cry for help," says her attorney, Michael Mayock. "Clearly she is absolutely stressed to the max." (Pasadena Star-News)
