“I am thrilled about the discovery. I am not surprised about the discovery,” Reedley Coty Manager Nicole Zieba said.
Zieba said she is not surprised her prediction came true. On Jan. 31, Las Vegas Police and the FBI said they found a possible biological laboratory inside of a home owned by Chinese national Jia Bei Zhu, the same man accused of running the illegal lab in Reedley.
