FBI Suspends Probe of TWA Flight 800

The FBI has told families of victims of TWA Flight 800 that it found “absolutely no evidence” that a criminal act brought the plane down and is suspending its investigation, according to a letter obtained by the Associated Press. “Our investigation has found absolutely no evidence to cause us to believe that the TWA Flight 800 tragedy was the result of a criminal act,” wrote James K. Kallstrom, who headed the FBI criminal probe. Kallstrom wrote that the FBI will continue to be involved in the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation of the July 1996 crash that killed 230 people.
