A woman accused of mailing potentially deadly homemade bombs to President Obama and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in 2016 was arrested, in part, due to cat hair, a cigarette box and an almost-destroyed shipping label bearing her address.
Julia Poff, 46, mailed the devices in October 2016, along with a third package that she sent to the Social Security Administration according to an indictment.
Investigators traced Poff to the package sent to Obama because of cat hair found under an address label. An FBI crime lab compared the hair to some from two of Poff’s cats and found it “microscopically consistent” with the hair of one of those animals.

A grand jury indicted her this month on six counts, including mailing injurious articles and transporting explosives with the intent to kill and injure.
At the hearing, a federal agent testified that Poff was angry with Abbott because she did not receive support from her ex-husband. Poff’s application for social security benefits was denied.
