# Newly Revealed Documents Prove Woman Innocent of Cyanide Killings,
# PI Says
#
# Stella Nickell has never stopped denying she killed her husband
# Bruce with cyanide in 1986. But now her defense team says they
# can prove her innocence.
#
# Nickell, 57, is serving two 90-year prison terms after being
# found guilty of putting cyanide in a pain-reliever capsule taken
# by her husband and trying to hide the crime by tampering with
# other bottles of the over-the-counter drug, which resulted in
# a second death.
#
# Her case came at a time when the country was reeling from a series
# of drug-tampering incidents.
#
# Now, two private investigators who have been digging into the
# Seattle case for 14 months say they can prove her innocence with
# documents the FBI never turned over to the defense at the time
# of the trial.
#
# If the claim sounds strangely familiar, think again, says Al
# Farr, one of the two sleuths who have been working on the case.
# "I know when news first got out there that we were doing this,
# some people assumed we were just floating on Tim McVeigh's
# coattails," Farr said. "That couldn't be further from the truth."
#
# The FBI has admitted it failed to turn over more than 4,000
# documents in the case of McVeigh, who faces the death penalty
# for the deadly Oklahoma City bombing.

# Then, in October, he was contacted by former FBI lab worker
# Frederic Whitehurst, who told him he had 1,000 pages of
# FBI documents related to the case that were never seen during
# the trial.
