Orlando postal worker says mysterious package from Yemen made him ill

9:33 a.m. EST, May 14, 2012|By J.J. Barrow and Trevor Aaronson, Florida Center for Investigative Reporting via The Associated Press

A postal worker says a mysterious leaking package from Yemen has left him seriously ill, and while some of his colleagues confirm his account of what happened at an Orlando sorting facility 15 months ago, the U.S. Postal Service denies the package ever existed.

The center tracked down co-workers who say they saw and smelled the package and that Lill, now 44, acted to protect them. The missing package has created a mystery ? and finding it, if it existed, could be the key to curing Lill and determining whether it contained a chemical weapon....
