The Mississippi Man Caught Mailing Ricin-Letters is an Elvis Impersonator
Kevin Curtis, the man just arrested in Mississippi on suspicion of sending letters filled with ricin to Senator Roger Wicker, President Obama, and a local judge, is an Elvis impersonator on the side:
Some people know Curtis through his passion as an Elvis impersonator, including a snarl and long sideburns. He has dozens of YouTube recordings of his performances and even won second place in a song writing competition here in 2002. However, the divorced man was also known in many online communities and others locally for criticizing the North Mississippi Medical and state Rep. Steve Holland for alleged crimes.
As a janitor working in a cleaning service, he claimed to have insider information. Combing through his online postings including Facebook and message boards and interviews with people who have had altercations with him, Curtis sounds more and more conspiratorial.
