The police informed me that the FBI have passed all customer details to the relevant police forces. Unfortunately my order was not fulfilled. Hi all,

Talk about embarrassing. I ordered one last year and never used it. What's worse is my neighbor happened to be pulling in her driveway and asked me what was up. I couldn't say anything. I was literally speechless. So, just to let you know, you may be checked up on too if you order one.

Your help would be greatly appreciated ANSWER: I have not heard whether Helios (or any other) source for the kit is reliable -- and the kit satisfactorily made, which is important. Until I get some solid feedback I can't say either way. Sorry. Watch my blog.

What did they find, if anything? This is such an incredible waste of resources - the FBI should be going after real criminals, not people who want a peaceful, dignified way of ending their lives should circumstances require it.

I paid with a USPS money order. I don't think she was able to fulfill my order before the FBI stepped in. After reading that the FBI actually searched the home of another customer, I worry that they will also harass others. I have nothing illegal in my home, and simply ordered, as far as I am concerned, a plastic bag with elastic, tubing, and a t-connector. Is that illegal now? I would like to get in touch with any others (including the last poster) who have been harassed by law enforcement for ordering perfectly legal items. Does anyone out there have a complete kit that someone else might use as a prototype? I ordered a kit on May 3, 2011 – and included a letter of support. I paid with a USPS money order.

I wrote a letter of support to her, after hearing that she had received hate mail. I'd like you all to know that this evening my home was searched. My son was interrogated, and my neighbors were questioned. Sheriffs went so far as to phone my landlord to ask him to let them in to my home when I was not here earlier. They supposedly received an "anonymous tip" from the FBI in San Diego, stating that I ordered a suicide kit online. They are apparently seizing Gladd Group's mail. I wonder how many other people have had their homes searched. Are they searching the homes of the people that sent hate mail to a 90 year old woman? I am OUTRAGED. I thought I lived in a country where I was free to write letters to the elderly. I saw a story on the news about the elderly woman who was manufacturing these kits.
