RIVERTON - Salt Lake County sheriff's deputies evacuated houses in a
two-block area in Riverton this morning and FBI agents continue to search a
home where a man connected with a deadly toxin had lived in 2006.
Agents also are searching three storage lockers rented by the man, Roger
Von Bergendorff, at Jordan Self Storage, 9528 Bagley Park Road, West Jordan.
Von Bergendorff lies in a coma in a Nevada Hospital, after the toxin
ricin was found in his Las Vegas motel room earlier in the week. He had
stayed in the home -- owned by his cousin Tom Tholen at 3004 W. 13400
South -- for nearly a year in 2005 and 2006. It is unclear how long Von
Bergendorff has rented the storage units.
