It is weird there isn't a postmark but there is FIM barcode on the bottom of the envelope. Those aren't on hand written envelopes until they go through the post office.

Incorrect.

That barcode is put on by the sender, and not the post office

There are 3 types of barcodes
PLANET
POSTNET
Intelligent Mail

Intelligent Mail barcodes (which that one is) is APPLIED TO THE ENVELOPE BY THE SENDER

It is very easy to find where it originated from (Sumlin's zip and subzip) and it also has the sender's ID embedded in the code

Any tard with a badge can find out who the envelope belongs to
