What did the FBI search in the tiny Alaska town of Girdwood last summer? The mystery continues.

A spokesman for Sen. Ted Stevens’ (R-AK) told me today it wasn’t his boss’ home or office — two favored guesses.

Stevens has been tightlipped in the FBI’s broad probe into oil company Veco Corp.’s dealings with Alaska state and federal lawmakers. But today his office opened up slightly. Stevens’ spokesman Aaron Saunders denied a raid of Stevens’ home or office and sent me a copy of this local television story with the following portions underlined:

The FBI will not comment on whether Sen. Stevens is being investigated. But when the agency served search warrants on lawmaker’s office last August, one search warrant was served in Girdwood.

Agents said it wasn’t at the senator’s home or office, but they won’t say where.

There’s not much else in Girdwood. Any guesses?
