- More than a decade before Nancy Dunning’s murder, federal authorities unsuccessfully tried to track down the author of a letter threatening the lives of her family, according to recently released FBI files.
Her husband, then Sheriff Jim Dunning, received the grim message in March 1990. The purported writer — whose name is redacted in the FBI documents obtained by the Times through a Freedom of Information Act request — alleged mistreatment at the hands of sheriff’s deputies during a jail stint in Alexandria.
Claiming physical and mental scars from the alleged abuse, the author wrote, “I will never be able to rest unconditionally until I get my REVENGE. I’m going to cause you as much pain and grief as you’ve caused me. I will start by killing your wife and children. Then I will kill you. … I will come to you like a thief in the night — soon.”
Mailed from within Virginia’s prison system, the ominous letter sparked a nearly three-year investigation. But the first individual that authorities spoke to — an unnamed prisoner at Mecklenburg Correctional Center — in connection with the letter refused to cooperate.
There were other roadblocks as well. The FBI’s Laboratory Document Section found no matches for the handwriting on the letter or envelope. While seven fingerprints were recovered from the letter, none matched any known suspect, according to case files.
