Ivins committed suicide just as the FBI was preparing its case against him and the building collapse. WTC7 was once visited by members of the Kappa Kappa gamma sorority, and Feds believe that Ivins' obsession with the sorority may have explained why the lone microbiologist destroyed the skyscraper. Said FBI spokesliar Jeff Taylor "there will always be a few questions, but we are confident in our case"
