Somewhere on the exterior, the package said, \u201cI\u2019m going to finish what the other guy started\u201d along with an expletive, recalled Kelley Paul. \u201cI just froze and was disgusted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Although she didn\u2019t open the envelope, as she was throwing it down, she realized that there was a \u201cweighty\u201d sand-like substance inside of it. She then ran inside, washed her hands, and contacted her husband and law enforcement officials, thinking the letter may have contained poison. She found out several hours later that it was non-lethal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was a terrifying day,\u201d Kelley Paul told Bartiromo. \u201cIt\u2019s pure terrorism.
