Serial bomber Ted Kaczynski passed away. |
Domestic terrorist died in federal time out. Just a week ago, Robert Hanssen, the country's most notorious spy who traded secrets to the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation passed away in Florence, Colorado at their Supermax.
Now Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber has passed away at the medical facility lockup in Butner, North Carolina. The domestic terrorist was 81. He was stationed at Florence, Colorado before his health got worse. They shipped his ass to the medical facility in North Carolina. He was found unresponsive in his cell early Saturday.
Kaczynski spent 20 years on the lamb. He was captured in 1996.
This man was monster. Unfortunately, the junk food media gave him a story.
He was a child prodigy. He graduated from college at a young age and wanted to become a mathematics instructor. Down the line, he was rejected by women because he harbored creepy behavior. He was interested in men at some point and even considered becoming a woman. He said he thought about killing his psychologist because he talked him out of it.
After failing to win over staff at the University of California in Berkeley, he decided to take on a reclusive life in Montana.
He lived his life in a log cabin in remote Lincoln, Montana. He lived in a run down shack with no running water, no electricity and no working phone.
Between 1978 and 1995, Kaczynski placed or mailed 16 bombs that killed three people and injured two dozen others, according to authorities.
In 1995, before he was identified as the Unabomber, he demanded newspapers publish a long manuscript he had written, saying the killings would continue otherwise. Both the New York Times and Washington Post published the 35,000-word manifesto later that year at the recommendation of the U.S. Attorney General and the director of the FBI.
If it hadn't been for the suspicions of his brother and sister-in-law, Kaczynski might never have been caught. Kaczynski's sister-in-law, Linda Patrik, was one of the first to identify Kaczynski as the Unabomber after reading the Unabomber's writing.
In an interview with "20/20 on ID Presents: Homicide" in 2016, Patrik recalled the first time she suspected Kaczynski was responsible for the serial bombings.
Kaczynski went on trial in Sacramento, California, where the key issue was not his guilt but his sanity and whether he would be spared the death penalty. He pleaded guilty to murder in exchange for life in prison without parole in 1998.
Kaczynski, who had attended Harvard at 16-years-old and earned a Ph.D. in math at the University of Michigan, had also threatened to blow up airliners, according to the FBI.
The prosecution of Kaczynski was supervised by the now Attorney General Merrick Garland when he was a senior Justice Department official. Garland also supervised the Oklahoma City Bombing investigation before he was Attorney General.
He grew up in Chicago, where his first bomb exploded, taught at the University of California, Berkeley, where two devices were left, and had lived in Salt Lake City, which was also a target, authorities said.
The name Unabomber was inspired by the case name UNABOM, which is derived from the UNiversity and Airline BOMbing targets, according to the FBI.
