P-D/AP:

Toxin mystery at Las Vegas motel deepens

As police tried to piece together how a rare, deadly poison ended up in a motel for transients, the 57-year-old man who could hold the key lay unconscious in a hospital.

Adding to the mystery, police said firearms and an “anarchist type textbook” were found in the same room where the ricin was discovered two days later.

Authorities offered little more about the man’s identity: He left pets in the room and was not considered a suspect. A dog was found dead, but the animal had gone at least a week without food or water, Suey said.

So, we get to know everything about this incident except the race of the man.  Since finding him is probably the key to solving the mystery, even if he committed no crime, we might benefit from a more complete description.
