FBI agents investigating who sent ricin-tainted letters to President Obama and other officials searched a martial arts studio in Mississippi on Wednesday after prosecutors dropped charges against the original suspect, CNN reports.

Wearing hazardous materials suits, agents also searched the home of James Everett Dutschke on Tuesday after charges were dismissed against Paul Kevin Curtis. Dutschke authorized the searches of his home and the martial arts studio, the FBI said.

CNN reported that Dutschke has not been called a suspect.

Investigators are trying to determine whether Dutschke sent the ricin letters and tried to set up Curtis, one law enforcement source told CNN.
