Three Nebraska elected officials’ offices received suspicious envelopes in October that resembled hundreds of threatening mailings federal investigators now attribute to an Oklahoma City man arrested the day before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Omaha fire and police respond after a suspicious letter was found addressed to the Omaha office of U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts at 304 N 168th Circle on Oct. 16. Federal investigators have not yet publicly disclosed which offices nationally received letters sent by Robin Patrick Martin.
