AUSTIN (February 23, 2010)--The widow of the Internal Revenue Service worker who was killed when an angry software engineer flew his plane into the Austin office building that housed IRS offices is suing the pilot's widow.
Authorities say Andrew Joseph Stack III, 53, deliberately crashed his single-engine plane into the building last Thursday in a suicide attack targeting the IRS.
Vernon Hunter, 68, a manager in the IRS office where 200 agency employees worked, died in the suicide attack.
Stack left behind a long Internet posting blaming the IRS for personal problems spanning decades.
The lawsuit filed Monday in Austin says Stack’s widow, Sheryl Stack, should have warned others about her husband.
Daniel Ross, attorney for Hunter's widow Valerie Hunter, said the lawsuit against Sheryl Stack seeks to determine if the pilot left behind insurance policies or other assets.
