PITTSBURGH — As the investigation into the suspicious death of a local doctor continues, Channel 11’s Alan Jennings reported that police want to check her husband’s cell phone records.
According to Jennings, Pittsburgh police have not confirmed this, but sources told him that investigators are executing search warrants for the cell phones belonging to Dr. Autumn Klein and her husband.
Investigators returned to the couple’s Oakland home Friday.
Police said a deadly amount of cyanide was found in Dr. Autumn Klein’s system.
It has now been confirmed that the FBI is involved with this case.
"Any time a federal agency like the FBI is involved, there's probably interstate commerce consequences. What that means in this particular case is there may be allegations of poison, perhaps it was sent via the mail," said defense attorney Phil Dilucente.
Both city homicide investigators and the FBI were at Klein’s home in Oakland Friday evening and could be seen combing through several rooms on both floors of the house for roughly two hours.
Aside from a few bags that investigators had filled with potential evidence in the case, a Pittsburgh lieutenant also confirmed that they towed away two cars that belong to Klein and her husband, Dr. Robert Ferrante.
Police said they have been working for several days trying to find out how Klein, a prominent doctor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, passed away.
The medical examiner’s office said Klein collapsed on April 17 and died three days later.
