Clayton Waagner , claiming to act on the part of the " Virginia Dare Chapter " of the AOG , mailed over 500 letters containing white powder to 280 abortion providers in 2001 . The letters claimed that the powder was anthrax . Though it was not identified as such , the tactic took advantage of the public 's fear of biological warfare after the recent real anthrax attacks . Waagner is a known criminal who utilized a number of aliases to elude police throughout his criminal history . The mailing of the letters suspected to have been filled with anthrax was done after he escaped from Dewitt County Jail in Clinton , Illinois where he was being held prior to sentencing for previously committed crimes
