"We are intending to close the case in the near future due to a lack of evidence linking anyone to the crime," said Neil Mendelsohn of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in a statement.
In the statement late Friday, Mendelsohn also revealed for the first time the eagles were poisoned.
"We conducted a very thorough investigation into the Maryland eagle poisonings," he said.
In February, a man was searching for shed deer antlers when he discovered four dead eagles on a Caroline County farm, police said. Officers searched the farm and found nine more carcasses.

I wonder if the lab can differentiate between the eagles being poisoned and eating mice that have been poisoned. I have occasionally had problems with the later with my cats.
It's the farmer or the person reporting it.
