Two former Montgomery Village residents troubled by anthrax suspect

Nancy L. Haigwood and her former husband, Carl J. Scandella, think Bruce Ivins of Frederick, an Army scientist who committed suicide two weeks ago as federal authorities prepared to indict him in the anthrax case, may have moved to their neighborhood to be near her.

Haigwood, 56, and Scandella, 64, lived at 10265 Ridgeline Drive from 1982-1983, Scandella said.

Scandella confirmed an Associated Press report that he and Haigwood filed police reports after finding the Greek letters KKG spray painted on his car and on the fence and sidewalk in front of their home. The letters are identical to those for the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority that Haigwood joined in college in North Carolina.

The Associated Press said the police report contained no mention of Ivins, but the AP quoted Haigwood as saying she believed Ivins was behind the vandalism.
