CARIBOU – Detectives investigating the arsenic poisoning at a New Sweden church last month will get a report from FBI profilers in a few days.

Until then, the team, which included up to a dozen investigators for most of the last two weeks, is organizing the information it has gathered. There was nothing new in the investigation to report, Maine State Police Lt. Dennis Appleton, chief investigator, said Monday.

Most investigators were off on the weekend, except for a skeleton crew. The FBI profilers left Saturday after a two-day information-gathering process in northern Aroostook County.

“We expect to get a report from the FBI in a few days, after they have put the information they gathered together,” Appleton, head of the Maine State Police Criminal Investigation Division III, said Monday afternoon. “Most of the detectives in the case are now doing paperwork on the investigation.”

Appleton said state police still don’t know for sure how the arsenic that poisoned 16 people, killing one man, got into the coffee served during a Sunday social gathering on April 27 at the Gustaf Adolph Evangelical Lutheran Church

“It still is nothing more than speculation,” he said. “We are working on theories about how it may have happened.

“It would help wrap things up if we knew how the poison got into the coffee,” Appleton said. “We are looking at how we think it may have happened.”

Walter Reid Morrill, 78, was killed by the arsenic-laced coffee that he and 15 others drank at the church social. Daniel Bondeson, 53, Morrill’s friend and a parishioner at the Lutheran church, killed himself the next Friday, dying of a gunshot wound.

Six members of the congregation are still hospitalized at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. One patient was discharged over the weekend. Of those remaining hospitalized, five are in fair condition and one person remains in serious condition, according to Marie Durant, EMMC spokeswoman.

The other eight people poisoned in the incident were all released from Cary Medical Center in Caribou by last Friday. They still must have daily tests at the hospital to monitor their health.

In another angle, Appleton said police have heard that a juvenile became sick in New Sweden before the April 27 incident.

“We are aware of someone getting sick,” he said. “We don’t know that we can associate the incident, but if someone has good information that it was something other than the flu, we would like to know.

“At this point, we don’t have any way of linking it to the poisoning that happened,” he said.

Appleton still would not be specific Monday on the type of firearm involved in Bondeson’s suicide five days after the poisoning. Police have linked Bondeson to the poisoning.

The investigator said police cannot rule out the possibility that Bondeson did not act alone. He said there was still too much ground to cover in the investigation.

“We are still not comfortable with saying that Daniel acted alone,” Appleton said. “We are also not comfortable that someone helped him either.

“If we don’t find somebody, I don’t know that we will ever be comfortable,” he said. “There may come a time when we say we have found no evidence either way, but we still have some work to do.”

Appleton said he did not know whether the suicide note found at Bondeson’s home the day he committed suicide would ever be released.

“In general, any notes in a suicide are directed to one or more individuals, and the Medical Examiner’s Office generally releases such notes to the people it was directed to,” he said. “The note is in the hands of the state Medical Examiner’s Office.”
