Dr. Foerster and Dr. Petrou Follow-Up Letter to FBI Special Agent Sue Lucas After No Response to 2020 Communication (March 2, 2018 Interview)

On December 6, 2024, Dr. Myria Petrou and Dr. Bradley Foerster transmitted a follow-up communication by facsimile to FBI Special Agent Sue Lucas at the FBI Ann Arbor field office.

This communication follows the September 24, 2020 letter regarding the March 2, 2018 FBI interview, for which no response is reflected in the record.

The December 6, 2024 letter re-raises the unresolved issue that an individual identifying himself as an HHS-OIG Special Agent using the name “Tyson Howard” participated in the March 2, 2018 interview and confirms that his identity could not be verified, including confirmation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General that no such employee was identified.

The communication further expands the scope of inquiry to include additional matters raised since the 2020 correspondence, including questions regarding investigative actions, institutional responses, and related financial and administrative issues.

The letter requests clarification from FBI Special Agent Sue Lucas as to whether these matters were investigated and whether prior positions taken during the March 2, 2018 interview remain in effect.

A facsimile transmission record confirms that the December 6, 2024 communication was successfully delivered.
