(AP) \u2014 The reason for the release wasn&#8217;t immediately clear.\u00a0 Jeff Woodfin, chief deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service in Oxford, Miss., said suspect Paul Kevin Curtis has been released from custody. The development comes less than two hours after officials canceled a detention and preliminary hearing without explaining the reason for the change. Curtis was arrested last Wednesday at his house in Corinth, Miss., and charged with sending ricin-laced letters to Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker and a Lee County, Miss., judge. A day earlier, FBI Agent Brandon Grant testified searches on Friday of Curtis&#8217; vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., found no ricin, ingredients for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis&#8217; computers found no evidence he researched making ricin. Through McCoy, Curtis has denied involvement in the letters. The first of the letters was found April 15. &#8220;The searches are concluded, not one single shred of evidence was found to indicate Kevin could have done this,&#8221; McCoy told reporters after the hearing Monday. McCoy also questioned why Curtis would have signed the letters &#8220;I am KC and I approve this message,&#8221; a phrase he had used on his Facebook page. McCoy said in court that someone may have framed Curtis, suggesting that a former business associate of Curtis&#8217; brother, a man with whom Curtis had an extended exchange of angry emails, may have set him up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/apnewsbreak-ricin-suspect-released-jail-171027275.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read More: http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/apnewsbreak-ricin-suspect-released-jail-171027275.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NO EVIDENCE FOUND IN SUSPECTS HOUSE 4\/23\/2013 &#8211; OXFORD, Miss.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
