The Debrief With MyronGainesX - The BIGGEST Serial Killer In FBI HISTORY：＂The Unabomber＂

00:00:00.060 What's up, guys? Welcome to FedIt. Today, we're going to react to the Unabomber, man. 0.92

00:00:03.560 This is probably one of the biggest cases, the most expensive and longest investigation that the FBI has ever done as far as tracking a guy down.

00:00:11.200 This is a big one, guys. Let's get right into it, man. This will be a good one.

00:00:17.000 I was a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, okay, guys? HSI.

00:00:20.240 The cases that I did mostly were human smuggling and drug trafficking.

00:00:25.300 No one else has these documents, by the way.

00:00:27.580 Here's what FedIt covers.

00:00:28.800 Dr. Lafredo confirmed lacerations due to stepping on glass.

00:00:35.600 Murder Investigations.

00:00:36.640 You see him reaching in his jacket. You don't know.

00:00:38.900 And he's positioning.

00:00:39.520 Been on February 13, 2019.

00:00:41.220 You're facing two counts of two meditative murder.

00:00:44.080 Bracketeering and Rico Conspiracy.

00:00:46.160 Young Slime Life here and after referred to as YSL.

00:00:48.760 This is 6ix9ine, and then this is Billy Seiko right here. 0.82

00:00:52.220 Now, when they first started, guys, 6ix9ine ran with these two.

00:00:54.820 I'm upset. I'm watching this music video.

00:00:56.320 You know, I'm bobbing my head like, hey, this shit lit.

00:00:59.200 But at the same time, I'm pausing.

00:01:00.700 Oh, wait, who this?

00:01:01.920 Right?

00:01:02.360 Oh, who's that in the back?

00:01:04.520 Firearms and violent crime.

00:01:05.880 A.K.A.

00:01:06.420 Bush IC violated.

00:01:07.740 You're wanting to stay away from the victim.

00:01:09.420 Trapper to try to see arrest after shooting at King of Diamond, Miami Silk Club.

00:01:12.620 This is the one that's going to fuck him up because this gun is not tracing.

00:01:16.480 Well, it happened at the gun range.

00:01:18.160 Here's your boy, 42 Doug, right here on the left.

00:01:20.440 Okay.

00:01:20.780 Sex trafficking and sex crimes.

00:01:22.400 They can effectively link him to paying an underage girl.

00:01:25.440 I'm going to look my 50-year-old right.

00:01:26.900 Right.

00:01:27.200 And the first bomb went off right here.

00:01:29.920 Suspect to shut down a backpast on the site of the second explosion inspired by Al-Qaeda.

00:01:34.980 Two terrorists, brothers, the Zokar Sarnev and Tamerlan Sarnev.

00:01:39.380 When the cartel shipped drugs into the country.

00:01:41.640 As this guy got arrested for espionage, okay?

00:01:44.320 Trading secrets with the Russians for monetary compensation. 0.57

00:01:48.320 The largest corrupt police bust in New Orleans history.

00:01:52.560 The days of the police are gone.

00:01:54.360 So he was in this bad boy.

00:01:55.740 We're going to go over his past to the gang guys so that this all makes sense.

00:02:05.840 All right.

00:02:06.460 Welcome back to Fetit, guys.

00:02:07.300 I know some of you guys are like, oh, my God, that intro's so long.

00:02:09.600 Oh, my God.

00:02:10.200 Hey, guys.

00:02:10.640 It helps me prepare.

00:02:11.960 It gives you guys kind of an insight to what we talk about.

00:02:14.020 This is a diversified channel.

00:02:15.020 We talk about all different types of crimes from terrorism to drugs to human smuggling,

00:02:19.560 human trafficking.

00:02:21.280 We're going to do bank robberies here very soon.

00:02:23.460 I'm going to do a big bank robbery case for y'all.

00:02:26.300 Shootouts, all that stuff, man. 1.00

00:02:27.640 This channel is extremely diversified.

00:02:29.240 Racketeering cases, gang cases, violent crime, all that stuff is covered here, man.

00:02:32.960 Any crime that you could think of, we're probably going to cover it.

00:02:35.140 But, you know, I got a couple of cases in the works that I'm working on right now, guys.

00:02:39.540 I'm working on Whitey Bulger for some of you guys, right? 0.78

00:02:41.680 One of my favorite stories right there.

00:02:43.880 He was the most wanted man after Osama bin Laden.

00:02:46.820 I'm also going to go ahead and give you all the Michael Vick dogfighting case.

00:02:50.780 So, yeah, man, we're going to switch things around and give you guys a whole multitude of different types of criminals to cover.

00:02:56.820 But on today's episode, guys, we're going to go over a serial killer bomber, a.k.a.

00:03:02.380 the Unabomber, guys.

00:03:03.460 This was the most expensive and longest FBI investigation in its history, guys.

00:03:09.120 He evaded them for nearly 20 years.

00:03:11.480 And we're going to be reacting to a documentary that covers the entire situation from beginning to end.

00:03:17.320 And this is a really interesting story, guys.

00:03:19.460 So without further ado, as you guys know, I always do the breakdowns off of this show called FBI Fouls.

00:03:25.780 The show came from the early, late 90s, and then it went on into the early 2000s.

00:03:31.120 It's discontinued now, but it's a really good documentary.

00:03:33.740 It's a little old.

00:03:34.520 Sometimes there's a little cheesy with the reenactments, but it's still good stuff, man.

00:03:38.260 So let's go ahead and play this thing real fast.

00:03:42.260 I'm going to just adjust some of the screens here, guys.

00:03:44.600 You know, you've got a one-man show here.

00:03:46.640 So, cool.

00:03:47.560 So let's go ahead and start playing this thing.

00:03:50.200 Here it is right here.

00:03:50.860 FBI Fouls, guys.

00:03:51.680 Always remember to like the video, subscribe to the channel, show some support.

00:03:54.940 Okay?

00:03:55.420 And without further ado, let's get into breaking this thing down.

00:04:00.180 Okay?

00:04:01.440 Let's get into it.

00:04:03.540 Enlarge it for you guys.

00:04:05.040 And bam. 0.99

00:04:05.620 And I'll stop it, you know, for commentary when needed.

00:04:10.280 For nearly two decades, a mathematical genius with delusions of single-handedly destroying industrial society

00:04:17.320 planted or mailed powerful bombs to unsuspecting, innocent victims.

00:04:23.420 It was a spree of mayhem that killed three and wounded over two dozen.

00:04:29.060 In the largest and most expensive investigation in FBI history,

00:04:33.620 agents spent 17 years hunting for the elusive terrorist known as the Unibon.

00:04:39.440 It's a big one, guys.

00:04:42.060 It's a big one, guys.

00:04:42.120 Thank you.

00:05:12.120 The first bomb came in the spring of 1978. The damage it caused was minimal, but its impact would be enormous. With each new detonation, the bomber learned a little more about bombs, and law enforcement learned a little more about the man who sent them. Because its targets were universities and airlines, the FBI called him the Unabomber. I'm Jim Kallstrom, former director of the FBI's New York office.

00:05:36.660 He was actually the special agent in charge, but most people wouldn't understand what that means, so he just says director. But what that means is he was a special agent in charge, which is the SCS or senior executive level manager. So he was the one running the office. Everyone went through him to get anything done. So that's what he was, guys. Or aka, the FBI calls it SAIC is what the FBI calls it. When I worked for HSI, we used to call it SAC, special agent in charge, but it's the same exact thing.

00:06:03.320 We never knew the name Ted Kaczynski. We knew we were dealing with a disgruntled genius. We just didn't know how smart or how angry he truly was, or how far he'd go.

00:06:14.900 But while the UNIQ somewhere in the 160s, guys, right around Albert Einstein level.

00:06:19.020 Obama was carefully perfecting his bombs. We were refining our profile. It was all a matter of who would finish first.

00:06:26.960 On May 25th, 1978, an engineering professor named Buckley Crist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, appeared in the mailroom with a shoebox-sized parcel.

00:06:43.960 Professor Crist was listed as the return addressee, and he didn't know the man it was addressed to.

00:06:50.880 Campus security guard Terry Marker cracked, maybe it's a bomb.

00:06:56.960 How right he was. Goddamn.

00:07:02.540 As bombs go, it wasn't much of a blow.

00:07:06.880 It began a 20-year streak of violence that would stump the FBI and terrorize the nation.

00:07:13.220 On November 15th, 1979, American Airlines Flight 444 took off from Chicago, bound for Washington, D.C.

00:07:26.600 As the Boeing 727 reached cruising altitude, the cabin filled with smoke.

00:07:35.600 It was pandemonium.

00:07:37.400 And just so you guys know, that security officer that got hit on May 25th in 1978, he just got injured. He didn't die.

00:07:42.860 So some minor injuries, but at this point, right, obviously, the UNIQ bombers in the infant stages of building bombs.

00:07:49.680 The plane was diverted to Dulles Airport in Virginia.

00:07:54.360 A dozen people were treated for smoke inhalation.

00:08:00.760 But for a faulty wire in the bomb, over 100 people would have been killed.

00:08:05.720 And the thing is, guys, is if that bomb had went off, it would have destroyed the plane.

00:08:13.760 They 100% would have got pretty messed up.

00:08:17.160 Everyone on that plane would have died.

00:08:18.940 They're just lucky that, you know, obviously, at the time, the UNIQ bomber had not refined his craft yet.

00:08:26.400 Bombing an airliner is a federal offense.

00:08:29.360 The FBI was called in.

00:08:30.840 FBI agent Chris Rone examined the evidence of the airline.

00:08:36.640 Prior to 9-11, of course.

00:08:39.300 It essentially was a wooden box that looked to be hand-fashioned, handmade.

00:08:45.680 We found that it contained a barometric switch and some other initiating components, batteries, wires, and a container for the explosive charge.

00:09:00.840 The barometric switch would function when the pressure changed in the baggage compartment sufficiently to close the switch or allow the barometric switch to function and then actually detonate the bomb.

00:09:16.580 Pretty clever scheme, as you guys can see here.

00:09:18.980 The use of an altitude-sensitive barometric switch told the FBI that they were dealing with a serious and smart bomber.

00:09:28.820 Rone began his inquiries with the Chicago police.

00:09:32.680 He was looking for anything to compare to the airline device.

00:09:35.780 And remember, guys, this is 1979.

00:09:39.020 So this is prior to 9-11 or the formalization of, you know, terrorist attacks being fairly common on U.S. soil.

00:09:47.720 So they didn't have really like something that they can go ahead and, you know, look to.

00:09:52.680 You know, nowadays, right, with bombs, they're able to look at the bomb and decipher, okay, this comes from, you know, Al-Qaeda-type people or this is, you know, Islam extremists.

00:10:00.960 Or this might be from some Cuban, you know, Cuban nationalists that are going crazy.

00:10:06.740 Typically, you're able to identify the maker of the bomb based on how the bomb is constructed.

00:10:12.100 But in this case, this is still fairly early in the FBI's journey to thwart terrorism.

00:10:19.220 And they had never come up on something like this before.

00:10:22.720 You know, obviously with a wooden shell, a sophisticated wiring system that, you know, detonates based off of altitude.

00:10:29.460 This is crazy stuff, right?

00:10:32.960 At Northwestern University, a thorough search uncovered the existence of two minor and seemingly unrelated incidents at the university.

00:10:42.300 In addition to learning of the device that injured Terry Marker, Rone learned of another.

00:10:48.840 On May 9, 1979, another bomb had gone off at Northwestern University, seriously injuring graduate student John Harris.

00:10:59.460 Its design was nearly identical to the first one.

00:11:03.540 But since they were both relatively minor incidents, authorities at the time didn't connect the two.

00:11:10.700 Dismissing those devices as amateurish pranks, the recovered debris was discarded.

00:11:15.680 There were construction techniques, the way the wood was cut, the way it was put together, the markings on the wood, the way the tape was applied.

00:11:35.500 The pipe bombs placed inside wooden boxes were all made of ordinary components, screws and nails and smokeless powder and black tape.

00:11:52.220 So you got yourself a serial bomber right now, okay?

00:11:55.700 So obviously this is going to have the FBI on high alert.

00:11:59.360 The components were homemade and sanded to render them untraceable.

00:12:03.400 Certain components were not crafted as much as fondled and played with and looked at.

00:12:15.520 And you could see they were handled and shaped and reshaped.

00:12:20.060 And that just struck me that somebody spent an awful lot of time on this bomb, enjoying putting it together.

00:12:26.140 The FBI realized they were dealing with a serial bomber, one that was passionate about his craft.

00:12:35.420 And guys, typically when you use the term serial to define maybe a serial killer or a serial bomber, whatever, typically it means they have a certain pattern and trend and how they commit their crimes and how they perpetrate the crime, okay?

00:12:46.660 That's typically what a serial killer, serial bomber, serial anything typically means.

00:12:50.860 No, not serial from like, you know, with milk or whatever, but serial as in they commit their crimes in a certain fashion and it follows this trend, okay?

00:13:01.440 In the 1950s, a shy, highly intelligent boy from suburban Illinois named Ted Kaczynski skipped a grade in elementary school.

00:13:12.460 Now we're going into the Unabomber's background. 0.99

00:13:14.960 He was an introvert, preferring to withdraw into his room to study, especially to study chemistry.

00:13:25.100 He was a prodigy with genius-level intelligence, his IQ top 170.

00:13:33.520 Yeah, he was scored between 160 and 170.

00:13:39.420 Went to Harvard, graduated in three years, guys.

00:13:41.880 Wild.

00:13:42.200 In five years, he had received his doctorate from the University of Michigan.

00:13:47.600 As an assistant professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, Kaczynski was not a popular or outgoing professor.

00:13:56.100 Practically no one got to know him.

00:13:58.780 In 1969, he abruptly resigned.

00:14:01.920 The social nature of his teaching position was too much for Ted.

00:14:05.580 He just didn't seem to fit in.

00:14:07.640 Yeah, he was extremely shy, guys.

00:14:10.600 He didn't like really being around people.

00:14:12.180 When people spoke to him, he was very shy and timid.

00:14:14.900 So he was a very reclusive person.

00:14:18.980 By 1971, Kaczynski had decided to drop out of society completely.

00:14:26.000 He bought an acre and a half of land in a rural area just outside of Lincoln, Montana.

00:14:31.160 6,000 feet above the society he had come to despise.

00:14:35.700 Bam.

00:14:37.440 He built a tiny 8-by-10-foot cabin with no electricity or running water.

00:14:44.940 There he would sit by himself, reading and writing.

00:14:48.040 One of the things Ted wrote was a 23-page essay raging against modern man's obsession with technological and scientific progress.

00:14:58.880 Could you imagine if he was around today seeing what the hell's going on?

00:15:01.520 He'd be fucking pissed with Instagram and all these girls running around taking pictures and shit, man. 1.00

00:15:09.620 Scientific research, he wrote, will inevitably result in the extinction of individual liberty.

00:15:14.860 He sent a copy to his brother, David.

00:15:19.800 David read it.

00:15:20.660 He's kind of right.

00:15:21.600 Look at all the censoring, man.

00:15:22.980 I mean, hell, they just canceled Andrew Tate.

00:15:24.940 You know, we get in trouble sometimes.

00:15:27.740 Yeah, think about it.

00:15:29.100 These tech companies have really been going crazy, man.

00:15:33.260 And he's still alive, guys.

00:15:34.900 He still hasn't passed away.

00:15:35.820 He's 80 years old now.

00:15:37.080 He was born in 1942.

00:15:38.300 He's still alive.

00:15:40.420 And we'll talk about where he's at here towards the end.

00:15:42.920 And stuck it in a trunk where it sat for a quarter of a century.

00:15:50.580 In June of 1978, Ted Kaczynski took a time out from his cabin to take a job working for his brother at a foam cutting plant in Illinois.

00:16:01.180 Ted's bizarre behavior became too much.

00:16:03.860 His brother was forced to fire him.

00:16:05.500 Ted had insulted a female co-worker who had refused his advances.

00:16:11.540 Ted sieved and within a year moved back to his cabin in Montana, vowing never to see his family again.

00:16:20.880 Hey, she didn't want to smash, man, with all that good, with all that genius intellect, man.

00:16:25.860 God damn.

00:16:26.580 If only that girl had smashed him, we probably wouldn't have never met the Unabomber. 1.00

00:16:30.040 See, man, women be the root of all evil, guys. 1.00

00:16:35.460 Trying to fit in as a social being was too frustrating for the introverted genius.

00:16:46.980 Ted withdrew even more, believing modern man incapable of understanding it.

00:16:52.060 He was starting to see civil society as an obstacle that needed to be overcome.

00:17:01.040 In time, Ted became acclimated to his life for few luxuries.

00:17:13.460 He took it upon himself to grow his own food and to be otherwise self-sufficient.

00:17:20.680 He had few acquaintances, opting for his own company in the Montana Wilds.

00:17:25.620 Ted rarely made it into Lincoln.

00:17:34.540 When he did, it was usually to bury his face in reference books in the small-town library.

00:17:39.520 On May 3rd, 1980, Ted Kaczynski rode his homemade bike into Lincoln.

00:17:53.400 He wasn't going to the library this time.

00:17:59.740 Instead, he caught a bus for Helena and checked into the Helena Park Hotel for a brief stay.

00:18:06.240 The next day, he headed west.

00:18:09.520 Ted had urgent business that needed tending to.

00:18:16.660 We'll see what that urgent business here in a second. 0.96

00:18:23.080 Percy Wood, the president of United Airlines, received a parcel at his suburban Chicago home on June 10th, 1980.

00:18:31.280 A few days earlier, he received a letter from a stranger promising to mail him a book,

00:18:35.960 which the letter said had tremendous social significance.

00:18:39.520 Uh-oh, here we go.

00:19:00.660 Wood placed the package on his kitchen counter.

00:19:03.020 He opened and retrieved a book, Ice Brothers, by Sloan Wilson.

00:19:08.120 Ice Brothers.

00:19:10.480 Wood was puzzled.

00:19:12.040 Why is this book socially significant?

00:19:15.160 He opened the cover.

00:19:18.300 Bam! 0.98

00:19:18.920 Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

00:19:21.540 Wood was nearly killed.

00:19:22.780 The bomber had upped the ante considerably with his fourth and most powerful device yet.

00:19:30.800 FBI and ATF bomb technicians poured over the scene.

00:19:35.120 It was quickly identified as the work of the serial bomber.

00:19:38.260 And here's the book, by the way, guys, written in 1979.

00:19:42.080 Ice Brothers.

00:19:43.240 Okay.

00:19:43.940 Hardcover.

00:19:44.840 This is the book that he sent him by Sloan Wilson.

00:19:47.260 I'm wondering why this book in particular, what this book is about.

00:19:53.160 I guess I'll do some research here.

00:19:54.860 But, um, yeah, very interesting.

00:20:01.440 Each bomb so far had been a pipe bomb with similar construction and wiring.

00:20:06.860 On this, the fourth bomb, the bomber had left a calling card.

00:20:11.820 Punched into a piece of rubble were the letters FC.

00:20:14.760 Certainly the initial...

00:20:18.120 Oh, so now they have, um, a marker to identify, um, the work of this particular bomber, A.K. 0.53

00:20:25.180 the Union bomber.

00:20:25.660 Those FC were put in these bombs to be found, clearly protected in such a way that they would

00:20:34.180 survive the blasts.

00:20:36.180 Uh, it didn't make any sense to have it in there.

00:20:39.200 It didn't function any, in any way.

00:20:41.100 It's a book about, um, as far as Ice Brothers goes, guys, it's a book about World War II,

00:20:47.300 um, and the surge of patriotism, uh, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

00:20:51.880 ...of no purpose except to say, here's my, uh, my signature.

00:20:57.560 Here's an identifying feature.

00:21:00.340 The FBI could only speculate what FC meant.

00:21:04.440 By this time, FBI investigators had already given him a name.

00:21:08.240 And you guys are going to see the significance of FC here, and this was actually pretty smart

00:21:13.800 by the Unabomber to employ this tactic.

00:21:16.580 He bombed universities and airlines.

00:21:19.280 They called him Unabombed.

00:21:21.980 U-N for university and A for airline.

00:21:26.480 Naming him was easy.

00:21:28.560 Finding him would be much, much more difficult.

00:21:32.520 And just so you guys know, the FBI knows what they're doing here when they name criminals

00:21:35.720 and give them certain nicknames, because the thing is, is when they're going to go ahead

00:21:39.460 and they have a big case like this and they have a target that more than likely they're

00:21:43.100 going to have difficulty finding or whatever, they're going to give the person a catchy

00:21:46.340 name so that when they do go to the media, when they do go to the public and say, hey,

00:21:50.340 we need tips, et cetera, they're going to be able to go ahead and use that name to almost

00:21:53.880 market the individual, right?

00:21:55.740 So that the people will remember, oh, that's that Unabomber guy. 0.96

00:21:59.060 I think I've heard about him.

00:22:00.420 Let me call it to the FBI, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:01.720 So the FBI does take a good amount of time, guys.

00:22:04.380 That's, you know, I got to give them their flowers here.

00:22:06.000 They do take a good amount of time to come up with a catchy name for the person to market

00:22:09.980 that individual.

00:22:10.600 So sticks in the public's mind so that they're more likely to call in with tips.

00:22:16.360 Now, do they get a lot of bullshit tips when stuff like this happened?

00:22:18.720 Of course.

00:22:19.560 However, all you need is one good tip.

00:22:22.040 I've always said it, guys.

00:22:23.320 The law enforcement only has got to get lucky one time, whereas the criminal has to be

00:22:27.360 perfect all the time.

00:22:31.720 In 1981, with FC their best clue yet, the FBI cross-referenced thousands of people with

00:22:42.520 those initials.

00:22:46.180 But the Unabomber was not sitting either.

00:22:52.000 In October, a package was found sitting in a building at the University of Utah.

00:22:56.540 It was a pipe.

00:23:05.040 Fortunately, it was a dug.

00:23:10.440 Investigators now had a device intact.

00:23:12.600 Perhaps a component was traceable.

00:23:14.920 OK, now this is huge, because now that the bomb is intact, guys, they can actually go and

00:23:20.500 look at it.

00:23:20.940 And again, I tell you guys all the time, with these bombs, you're able to detect a lot from

00:23:25.480 the maker, the individual that's involved, from constructing the piece through how they

00:23:29.980 build it.

00:23:31.000 And obviously, this is a very unique signature of the Unabomber that is done with wood.

00:23:35.500 It would take time to find out.

00:23:38.340 The Unabomber remained busy.

00:23:40.880 In the spring of 1982, a package meant for Professor Leroy Wood Berenson blew up instead

00:23:46.600 in the hands of an academic assistant at Vanderbilt University.

00:23:50.280 Oh, shit.

00:23:51.220 The bomb was made of the usual materials, with the initials FC from the surviving wreckage.

00:24:00.100 Examiners spent endless hours studying every minute detail of the Unabomber devices.

00:24:06.240 The most bizarre clues suddenly emerged.

00:24:09.020 The last two people specifically targeted were named Wood.

00:24:17.020 Wood played such an important role in every one of the bombs.

00:24:21.200 I mean, it was present in every one of the bombs, even when it didn't need to be.

00:24:25.520 He, in fact, if he didn't have wood and he threw wood in it, sticks of wood just so they'd

00:24:29.860 be there.

00:24:30.980 Again, that's what makes him a serial bomber, guys, because he's keeping a certain trend,

00:24:34.740 keeping a certain signature to his works of destruction.

00:24:39.020 There were references to wood in addresses and names of people throughout.

00:24:47.760 FBI lab examiner Doug Dietrich of the Trace Evidence Unit is also a wood expert.

00:24:57.020 Well, the materials may indicate something about that individual.

00:25:01.420 It may indicate where he might live, what he might do for a living.

00:25:05.080 And that's one of the things that I was involved with, especially in trying to determine where

00:25:09.840 these types of woods came from, what geographical area, what part of the country.

00:25:18.040 This approach seemed like a long shot, but the scarcity of clues left investigators with

00:25:22.840 few options.

00:25:23.540 As the FBI investigation intensified, so did the power of the Unabomber's devices. 0.92

00:25:31.900 So he's getting more refined, getting better at what he's doing, honing his craft, guys,

00:25:37.320 because obviously, keep in mind, he's clearly tuning into the news, reading the paper, seeing

00:25:41.120 how the bombs do, the injuries of the individuals involved.

00:25:43.740 So he's quickly figuring out, damn, these bombs aren't strong enough.

00:25:46.800 I need to make them stronger.

00:25:47.800 On July 2nd, 1982, Professor Diogenes Angelacos of the University of California, Berkeley, a

00:25:57.060 devoted husband and a popular teacher, noticed a strange-looking object on the floor.

00:26:02.040 And this is the university he used to work at as a math teacher, guys.

00:26:04.820 ...of the computer science department's coffee room.

00:26:07.320 I guess he had beef with the computer science people.

00:26:12.940 He's like, fuck that math!

00:26:14.180 It's math section all the way, baby!

00:26:15.860 Yoooooo! 0.96

00:26:17.260 Puts a bomb in that bitch. 1.00

00:26:25.220 Oh, shit!

00:26:26.200 Oh, shit!

00:26:27.220 The explosion seriously wounded him and tore off his fingers.

00:26:31.540 Goddamn.

00:26:32.200 As he lay dazed, he found a typewritten note.

00:26:34.500 Woo, it works.

00:26:38.240 I told you it would.

00:26:40.060 RV.

00:26:41.360 Wow.

00:26:46.040 The FBI ran down everyone in America named Woo, and everyone with the initials RV, a monumental

00:26:53.180 labor-intensive task.

00:26:56.200 So now we got that little tip, and we got the FC.

00:26:58.760 And you guys are going to see here why the Unabomber did this. 0.96

00:27:01.440 No avail.

00:27:03.160 The note was a ruse.

00:27:08.800 Another lead surfaced the day following the blast.

00:27:12.060 A custodian who worked in Corey Hall, the building where the bomb is...

00:27:15.500 So you see this dark figure just put a package down there.

00:27:18.740 You're like, uh, okay.

00:27:20.240 Exploded.

00:27:21.320 Custodian sees him.

00:27:22.820 Dude has his head shifted like this.

00:27:24.500 A man with a thin mustache and sweatshirt loitering in the hall the night before.

00:27:28.800 Yeah, he's like, nah, I'm good, bro.

00:27:29.900 Oh, one more time.

00:27:34.060 We got to play that shit.

00:27:35.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:27:36.560 Imagine you're the fucking custodian, right?

00:27:38.500 And you're just working at night, and you see this shit.

00:27:41.280 The note was a ruse.

00:27:46.300 So you're working late night, you know, cleaning, you know, minding your own business.

00:27:49.240 Everything's chilling, you know.

00:27:50.100 You're just like, okay.

00:27:51.600 I'm out here working hard, getting that overtime.

00:27:53.680 Another lead surfaced the day following the blast.

00:27:56.600 See some dude come in dark and put a package down.

00:28:00.040 A custodian who worked in Corey Hall, the building where the bomb exploded.

00:28:03.680 And you're like, what the fuck are you doing?

00:28:05.860 There was a bomb that just went off here not too long ago.

00:28:08.380 Saw a man with a thin mustache and sweatshirt loitering in the hall.

00:28:12.620 He was like, nah, I'm good.

00:28:13.500 Yeah, that dude looked a little off.

00:28:17.840 Look, look, look, look the way he has his head tilted.

00:28:20.600 Look at this shit.

00:28:21.180 A custodian who worked in Corey Hall.

00:28:23.340 He looks at him like, don't even try it, buddy.

00:28:25.800 This thing is going off.

00:28:26.940 Where the bomb exploded.

00:28:28.340 Tiltes his head like this.

00:28:29.120 What you want to do?

00:28:30.680 Custodian's like, what you want to do, buddy?

00:28:33.860 Custodian's like, uh.

00:28:34.800 And with a thin mustache and sweatshirt loitering in the hall.

00:28:37.660 Yeah, y'all don't pay me enough for this.

00:28:38.980 I'm good.

00:28:39.320 The custodian, however, was unable to remember enough details to help a sketch artist make a composite.

00:28:49.020 Angelacos was critically wounded, requiring a lengthy hospital stay.

00:28:52.900 So I'd actually, he was just like, nope, I'm good.

00:28:55.560 He was no longer able to care for his invalid wife. 0.99

00:28:59.240 She died within a month of the blast.

00:29:02.060 Damn, couldn't care for his sick wife. 0.99

00:29:03.540 In May of 1985.

00:29:09.740 So we have a bunch of bombs going off, guys.

00:29:11.300 But no one has died yet.

00:29:12.420 People have just been injured.

00:29:14.160 In that same building.

00:29:15.840 Berkeley graduate student John Houser, a captain in the Air Force, noticed on the floor a three-ring binder sitting on top of another object.

00:29:23.880 Once again, UC Berkeley.

00:29:28.040 Boom.

00:29:29.140 Oh, shit.

00:29:29.880 Oh, shit.

00:29:30.400 At this point, guys, we're up to one, two.

00:29:34.720 That's eight bombs now at this point, guys.

00:29:39.060 Houser had just applied for astronaut training.

00:29:42.020 What he didn't know as he lay wounded was that he had already been accepted into the program.

00:29:46.520 Oh, man.

00:29:47.420 But he would never fly again.

00:29:50.040 His Air Force Academy ring was found embedded in the wall across the room.

00:29:54.040 Ironically, Professor Angelacos was nearby when the bomb exploded.

00:30:00.360 He rushed to help Houser.

00:30:05.040 He's like, I've been here before, son.

00:30:06.460 I got you.

00:30:08.700 Unabomb-related crime scene investigations conducted by the FBI, ATF, and the United States Postal Service had become frustratingly routine.

00:30:17.100 Okay, so you guys may be wondering, hey, why the hell is the ATF involved?

00:30:22.040 Because, hey, it doesn't stand for alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.

00:30:25.020 Yes, guys.

00:30:25.560 They also do explosives.

00:30:26.980 It's called the Bureau of Alcohol.

00:30:29.240 It's actually supposed to be called the BATF, which is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

00:30:35.320 So, yes, the ATF also does explosives as well, guys.

00:30:39.460 Typically, when there's a bomb used or an explosion, ATF will work together alongside the FBI and, you know, work the case together.

00:30:48.480 And in this case, the Postal Inspection Service was working because, obviously, the bombs were coming through the mail.

00:30:53.380 So this was a joint effort between the three agencies.

00:30:55.400 Obviously, it's a terrorism case, so FBI is going to take lead.

00:30:57.660 But the ATF and Postal Inspection Service were also involved.

00:31:00.940 And then Postal Inspectors, guys, they're full law enforcement.

00:31:03.320 They're the same thing as a regular special agent.

00:31:05.600 They just have a different title called Postal Inspector.

00:31:07.680 But their job series is still 1811, okay, which is the name of this channel.

00:31:11.240 That's why I named it FEDA 1811.

00:31:13.280 1811 is a job series code for special agent in the U.S. government, whether you work for DEA, FBI, ATF, Postal Inspector, Secret Service, whatever it is, OSI, it's all 1811s.

00:31:25.420 The recovered bomb components were packaged and sent to the FBI lab for future comparisons.

00:31:30.940 Over the next few years, there would be many such examinations.

00:31:37.280 On May 8th, 1985, a package was received at the Boeing Corporation in Auburn, Washington.

00:31:49.800 It was addressed only to the company, was heavy, and had too much postage.

00:31:54.000 Hey, Mark.

00:31:57.500 A suspicious mailroom employee called security.

00:32:01.920 The package was x-rayed and shown to contain a pipe bomb.

00:32:05.700 It had FC stamped into the end caps.

00:32:09.560 Had the employee opened the package, it most likely would have killed him and anyone else nearby.

00:32:15.060 Yep.

00:32:15.840 Lucky him.

00:32:16.520 On November 15th, 1985, Dr. James McConnell, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, received a letter and package from a Ralph C. Kloppenberg.

00:32:30.080 And also, just so you guys know, that bomb that didn't hurt anybody at the Boeing Foundation Fabrication Division, they safely detonated it, but they lost a lot of the forensic evidence.

00:32:41.060 I'm getting this directly from the FBI website here.

00:32:43.100 I got some notes.

00:32:45.100 The sender described himself as a doctoral student.

00:32:48.860 I'd like you to read this book, he wrote.

00:32:51.460 Everyone in your position should read this book.

00:32:53.660 As he read, his assistant opened the package nearby.

00:33:02.500 The explosion seriously injured the assistant and blew out the hearing of Dr. McConnell.

00:33:11.880 And guys, this is the 10th bomb now at this point, okay?

00:33:15.000 So, from 1978 all the way to 1985, we have been up to 10 bombs.

00:33:25.600 Examiners continued to dissect the bombs.

00:33:28.700 They were evolving as the Unabomber refined his craft. 1.00

00:33:33.600 Exhaustive lab tests showed they were getting more sophisticated and more powerful.

00:33:38.480 Yep.

00:33:40.880 So, as an investigator, you're getting scared because, like, obviously each bomb gives you more evidence to try to figure out who the guy is.

00:33:47.760 But, each bomb is becoming stronger and stronger, which means the likelihood of someone dying from one of these bombs going off is going to increase.

00:33:56.720 And, obviously, as an investigator, you don't want that to happen.

00:33:59.320 Agents were frustrated.

00:34:02.740 They were making little progress in determining the identity of the Unabomber. 0.84

00:34:08.460 And he was throwing in little things like that, like the little note, FC, etc.

00:34:13.760 He's putting these little things on the bombs, guys, so that he can throw people off so that they wouldn't be able to detect them and get on his trail.

00:34:21.380 Which was actually very smart for him to do this.

00:34:23.060 This is something that a lot of serial killers don't do, where they purposely put information in there to throw off investigators.

00:34:31.080 Okay?

00:34:31.860 Well, some of them do, some of them don't.

00:34:34.480 And their analysis was confirming what they already knew.

00:34:37.960 If the packages kept coming, it would only be a matter of time before someone was killed.

00:34:48.740 Hugh Scrutton owned the Rentech computer store in Sacramento, California.

00:34:53.780 On December 11th, 1985, about lunchtime, Scrutton headed out the back door that led to the rear parking lot when he noticed something.

00:35:05.080 It looked like a block of wood with four nails sticking out points out.

00:35:12.960 Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

00:35:14.060 The explosion was ferocious, blowing a massive gaping hole into Scrutton's chest, exposing his heart.

00:35:20.180 Wow!

00:35:20.520 The unibomb was now a murderer.

00:35:24.500 First kill, guys.

00:35:26.100 It took several years, but December 11th, 1985, he strikes his first kill.

00:35:31.720 So now this has become a homicide.

00:35:34.420 The bomb that killed Hugh Scrutton was the most powerful yet.

00:35:40.100 It consisted of a pipe within a pipe and contained all of the same characteristics as the others, right down to the F-C stamped on a surviving end cap.

00:35:48.720 The unibomber investigation was now officially a homicide, I guess.

00:35:57.000 Investigators stuck to their strategy of keeping the details of the case sequels, lest the unibomber learn what they knew, or worse, lest they encourage copycats.

00:36:06.560 Agents were desperate for a solid lead.

00:36:09.540 It's in Sacramento.

00:36:11.280 Ted Kaczynski was always active in his secluded cabin.

00:36:16.260 When he wasn't making bombs, he was writing his philosophy that justified them.

00:36:23.760 For Ted Kaczynski, technological society was a horror, defined by the Earth's destruction and human beings amounting to little more than mindless robots.

00:36:33.060 In Ted Kaczynski's story, anyone who was participating in the human race's dependency on technology was a villain.

00:36:48.700 On February 20th, 1987, a secretary at Cam's computer store in Salt Lake City looked out of her office window and caught a glimpse of a man in the parking lot, placing an object on the ground.

00:37:01.700 Oh, shit.

00:37:03.060 It looks like the same guy that the janitor saw before.

00:37:15.640 An hour later, the store's owner, Gary Wright, was in the parking lot.

00:37:20.240 He noticed the object on the ground.

00:37:23.420 It was a block of wood with four nails sticking out points up.

00:37:27.660 Same way as the Sacramento one.

00:37:30.940 Fuck.

00:37:31.460 Wright received serious injuries, but miraculously survived.

00:37:36.340 These guys are lucky.

00:37:38.180 As police scoured bus stations and local business.

00:37:40.640 So now they're going crazy, guys, right?

00:37:42.820 Obviously, the FBI is like, yo, we got to find this guy.

00:37:44.800 So now they're starting to do press conferences and they have a sketch or a sketch of him.

00:37:49.180 Finally.

00:37:50.240 Businesses looking for a suspect.

00:37:52.020 A sketch was commissioned from the secretary's description.

00:37:55.440 That was the only woman that was able to actually catch a glimpse of him prior to him being caught.

00:37:59.740 It was unquestionably the portrait of a man in disguise.

00:38:03.740 The sketch didn't catch the unabomber, but in one way it may have worked.

00:38:12.160 Knowing he was seen, the unabomber seemed to vanish. 1.00

00:38:15.840 After nine years of bombings, unabomber-related incidents simply stopped after the 1987 cams explosion.

00:38:26.800 Bam.

00:38:28.220 Took a break.

00:38:29.020 The investigation had continued, but all available leads had been exhausted.

00:38:33.600 After six years of silence, investigators were hopeful that the unabomber had either been imprisoned on some unrelated charge or died. 1.00

00:38:41.900 Either way, the bombs had stopped.

00:38:44.940 That's what they were hoping.

00:38:49.000 But Ted Kaczynski was neither dead nor in jail.

00:38:52.420 He had spent the last six years virtually alone.

00:38:55.060 Content in his day-to-day routine.

00:39:00.300 He rode his bike everywhere.

00:39:01.540 Obviously, as you guys know, he hated, you know, he hated technology.

00:39:05.580 Didn't really want to use cars, etc.

00:39:09.840 Tending the garden, hunting, writing, and visiting the library.

00:39:14.260 Ted always managed to stay on top of current events.

00:39:20.440 In 1993, after a six-year hiatus,

00:39:23.720 several highly publicized events propelled the unabomber out of retirement.

00:39:29.600 The fiery siege at Waco, Texas, between the ATF and the Branch Davidian religious cult. 0.70

00:39:36.900 And I will go ahead and cover that as well.

00:39:39.260 That's the Waco siege.

00:39:40.160 A lot of you guys asked me for that.

00:39:41.220 I will break that down.

00:39:42.180 And then this one, I had already done.

00:39:44.340 Bombing of the World Trade Center created a violent political environment.

00:39:48.740 And I covered the World Trade Center bombing, guys, just so you know, real quick,

00:39:53.720 if you want to find that.

00:39:56.260 Because that video didn't get pushed as much in the algorithm, guys.

00:39:58.920 But I'll show you guys rough, real fast here.

00:40:01.540 Here it is.

00:40:03.200 If you go to my channel, Fedit, right?

00:40:05.400 Your channel, bang.

00:40:07.280 It's right here, guys.

00:40:08.860 And actually, check this out.

00:40:09.960 What I did was, guys, I actually organized everything for you guys.

00:40:12.000 So I got my most popular stuff right here.

00:40:14.300 Then right after, I got all my uploads here.

00:40:16.540 So this is the clips, documentaries, and the live streams all together.

00:40:20.820 Then right after that, we got all the live stream podcasts here.

00:40:23.880 Okay?

00:40:24.260 Then I went ahead and broke down the documentaries here.

00:40:27.540 Okay, guys?

00:40:28.420 And they're all chronological order from newest to oldest.

00:40:31.120 And as you can see, here's the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

00:40:33.800 I broke this one down as well for you guys.

00:40:36.060 This one was also an FBI files reaction.

00:40:38.240 It was really good, man.

00:40:39.260 I went ahead and put meticulous timestamps in there for you guys

00:40:43.140 that breaks down every component of how the FBI was able to identify

00:40:46.080 the bombers, apprehend, and then charge them and get them all convicted.

00:40:50.560 And I also talked about how, you know, one of the bombers actually made it, etc.

00:40:56.200 Very thorough breakdown, guys.

00:40:57.760 Breakdown.

00:40:58.820 This was probably one of the first terrorist attacks from, like, a foreign power.

00:41:03.340 Okay?

00:41:03.660 From a foreign country.

00:41:04.520 A lot of the guys here that were, you know, from Pakistan and the Middle East, etc.

00:41:07.420 So, yeah, man.

00:41:08.060 Go check this one out.

00:41:09.260 But, anyway, back to the pod here.

00:41:14.240 The Unabomber would return in a fit of violence of his own. 0.98

00:41:18.740 Yeah, he was like, hey, these Arabs can't do better than me, man.

00:41:21.480 They made him step up his game because, obviously, the World Trade Center bombing was crazy, man.

00:41:25.680 That thing destroyed the World Trade Center, blew a gaping hole in the parking lot. 0.80

00:41:32.140 And I give more details on that episode, guys.

00:41:34.140 So, go check that one out.

00:41:34.960 Go check that one out.

00:41:35.000 Dr. Charles Epstein is a renowned geneticist at the University of San Francisco.

00:41:46.580 On June 22, 1993, he sat down at his kitchen table to open his mail, including a padded envelope, which had arrived that day.

00:41:56.780 The blast critically injured Dr. Epstein, after two and a half hours of surgery, he was stabilized and very lucky to be alive.

00:42:13.640 Two days later, on June 24, Dr. David Galerger, a prominent computer scientist at Yale University, arrived early at his office to open his mail from the previous day.

00:42:29.560 Holy shit.

00:42:35.940 Bombs going off everywhere, guys.

00:42:37.500 So, he comes back with a vengeance, obviously.

00:42:41.560 Injured in his right arm, eye, and abdomen.

00:42:44.560 Bill learned her struggle to his feet and went out the door for help.

00:42:47.560 The FBI quickly determined that the Epstein bomb and the Galerger bomb were identical.

00:43:06.900 Pipe bombs filled with potassium chlorate and aluminum powder.

00:43:11.500 Both devices have been placed inside a handcrafted wooden box.

00:43:15.260 A few hours after the Galerger bomb went off, a letter was received in the mailroom of the New York Times.

00:43:28.120 It was from a self-proclaimed anarchist group called FC, who were claiming responsibility for the recent bombings.

00:43:35.540 FC, if you guys remember, that was from the bombs before he was using that moniker on the older model bombs.

00:43:45.260 FC promised more communications in the future.

00:43:50.520 An identifying number was provided to the Times to ensure the authenticity of future communications.

00:43:56.340 It was 553-254-394.

00:44:00.480 The FBI determined that the number was a social security number of a 20-year-old parolee in Northern California, incredibly with a tattoo on his arm reading pure wood.

00:44:14.480 An investigation quickly dismissed him as the unibomber.

00:44:19.640 See? Throwing the investigators off.

00:44:23.480 Another major clue was discovered.

00:44:26.480 Impressed into the paper on the New York Times letter was the faint notation,

00:44:30.560 Call Nathan R., Wednesday, 7 p.m.

00:44:35.400 The elusive unibomber finally provided agents with a solid lead. 0.95

00:44:41.740 The FBI talked to over 10,000 people whose first name was Nathan and whose last name began with R.

00:44:47.720 The exhaustive search turned up nothing.

00:44:50.220 It seemed the unibomber loved sending the FBI on wild goose chases. 1.00

00:44:56.140 Smart. Keep him off his trail.

00:44:59.360 The Times ran the letter, which sparked public interest.

00:45:03.100 It also drew the FBI into dozens of false leads.

00:45:07.480 Disgruntled students, aircraft engineers, even a Dungeons and Dragons club in Chicago.

00:45:12.920 Did you imagine?

00:45:17.300 They're playing some dragons, you know, Dungeons and Dragons at the hobby shop on a Saturday.

00:45:23.160 Next thing you know.

00:45:24.560 FBI, open up!

00:45:25.480 And then they come in and break in and take all their Magic of the Gathering cards and all their Warhammer and all that other shit,

00:45:30.060 and they just raid the fucking place trying to figure out who the fucking bomber is, man. 0.94

00:45:34.740 Oh, Lord.

00:45:35.840 The latest round of activity had sent the FBI investigation into overdrive.

00:45:44.960 A unibomb task force consisting of FBI, ATF, and postal inspectors was formed to coordinate investigative efforts.

00:45:55.800 Jim Freeman was the head of the FBI's San Francisco field office.

00:46:00.440 He would also head the multi-agency unibomb task force.

00:46:03.760 We had evidence that was scattered around three different federal agencies and a lot of local state laboratories.

00:46:12.760 So we recognized that our task was to gain control of the information that was already out there,

00:46:19.180 determine what investigation had already been done.

00:46:23.260 And we set about this by deciding to reinvestigate every unibomb crime.

00:46:30.920 Every shred of physical evidence that remained from past unibomber devices would be given to one forensic examiner.

00:46:40.200 Special Agent Tom Monnell of the FBI Laboratory's Materials and Devices Unit became the chief examiner for the investigation.

00:46:47.420 And this is typically what you want to do, guys.

00:46:49.680 When you have a case and you have someone examining stuff, you know, whether it's forensic stuff or evidence or whatever it may be,

00:46:54.860 you have, like, some kind of subject matter expert, you always want to use that same guy for everything

00:46:59.500 because they're going to be aware of the case.

00:47:00.820 They're going to be aware of the facts.

00:47:02.380 Like, when I had an investigation and I needed, like, stuff to be examined, a forensic examiner,

00:47:06.640 I would always use the same agent to do it for me because that agent won't be invested.

00:47:11.720 They would help you.

00:47:12.760 And, you know, for big investigations like this, you typically want someone that's dedicated to the case.

00:47:16.880 And they can go ahead and open their own case on their end, obviously, to document their hours, write their reports, et cetera, on your case.

00:47:23.380 And that handles all the forensic information on the investigation, keeps things nice and clean and organized.

00:47:30.160 Or they can write reports on your case, either or, but you definitely want to use the same guy every single time,

00:47:38.220 especially for big investigations like this because you're going to need that person more than likely to come in and testify as a subject matter expert

00:47:43.660 if the defendant ends up going to trial so they can talk about, you know, how they personally examined the information

00:47:49.880 and how they were able to draw their conclusions.

00:47:51.680 All the evidence in the Unabomb case, no matter if it was explosive-related or not, came through me and my unit.

00:48:01.680 In a serial bombing-type case such as the Unabomb case, the most frustrating aspect was the fact that we were doing all forensic examinations

00:48:10.900 that could possibly be done to the evidence, and it wasn't able to lead us to any individual.

00:48:16.420 While the task force struggled, Kaczynski's warped revolution against society continued.

00:48:24.580 On December 10, 1994, advertising executive Thomas Moser was opening his mail in his North Caldwell, New Jersey home.

00:48:33.020 His wife and two daughters were upstairs.

00:48:36.480 He examined a small package with excessive postage from an H.C. Wickle, Department of Economics, San Francisco State University.

00:48:46.420 The explosion was the most gruesome yet, instantly decapitating Thomas Moser.

00:48:54.920 Wow.

00:48:58.520 With every previous device-

00:49:00.080 And there's no rhyme or reason.

00:49:01.240 He's just, you know, sending this stuff out to random people, man, and getting them killed.

00:49:05.160 Wild.

00:49:05.420 In the Unabomber investigation, Agent O'Neill was able to reconstruct a replica,

00:49:10.940 working only from the debris recovered from the various crime scenes.

00:49:14.140 And that's actually really impressive that he was able to do that.

00:49:18.880 Literally recreate each bomb off of the evidence left at the scene that was completely destroyed and mangled.

00:49:25.320 He was able to replicate them.

00:49:26.440 As with the 15 bombs he had reconstructed, this one was unquestionably the work of the Unabomber. 1.00

00:49:36.540 A few months later, Ted Kaczynski prepared for an extended visit to the West Coast.

00:49:41.820 This trip would be his busiest to date.

00:49:44.320 On April 19, 1995, Ted Kaczynski was in the San Francisco Bay Area when Timothy McVeigh's 2,000-pound fuel oil bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrow Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people.

00:50:01.120 And I will also cover the Oklahoma City bombing as well, guys, from Timothy McVeigh.

00:50:07.760 So don't worry.

00:50:08.840 Stay tuned for that one as well.

00:50:09.780 I'm going to be covering all the big bombings, terrorist attacks, serial killer cases, et cetera, on this channel, man.

00:50:15.520 So don't worry.

00:50:16.040 I got y'all.

00:50:16.840 I'm going to go ahead and give you guys your crime narrative fix from a former Fed.

00:50:20.980 Don't forget to like the video, by the way, guys.

00:50:23.460 Please like the video.

00:50:24.400 Subscribe to the channel.

00:50:25.520 Support me, man, because like I said, I do this channel for you guys.

00:50:28.120 I really do enjoy breaking down these cases and watching these types of documentaries and giving you guys a little bit more insight as to how these investigations are done from the perspective of a former federal agent that used to do these investigations themselves.

00:50:38.460 Like the video, please.

00:50:39.660 Ted would not let his agenda be eclipsed by the devastation in Oklahoma.

00:50:46.100 The next day, April 20th, the nation still reeling over Oklahoma City.

00:50:51.380 Kaczynski mailed five items, four letters and a parcel.

00:50:57.620 Within a few days, the mail arrived back east.

00:51:01.120 First was a letter to the New York Times.

00:51:04.060 FBI Special Agent Terry Turchy was second in command of the Unabombed Task Force.

00:51:09.620 In the letter to the New York Times, he mentioned that he was claiming responsibility for the attacks on Thomas Moser, Charles Epstein and David Galerner.

00:51:19.440 He also mentioned some of his goals and objectives and said that he was thinking of sending a manuscript essay and that he wanted them to consider publishing that essay.

00:51:29.880 And if they did, he would make an agreement to cease committing terrorist acts.

00:51:37.420 The second letter received was to recent victim David Galerner at Yale.

00:51:41.860 Still remember, he was he lost his eye pretty much.

00:51:44.580 Recovering from his April wounding.

00:51:46.180 The letter was taunting.

00:51:50.400 Dr. Galerner, people with advanced degrees are not as smart as they think they are.

00:51:56.060 If you'd had any brains, you would have realized that there are a lot of people out there who resent bitterly the way techno nerds like you are changing the world.

00:52:05.020 On April 25th, 1995, a package arrived at the California Forestry Association addressed to its former president, William Dennis Law.

00:52:20.840 Its current president, Gilbert Murray, decided to open it himself.

00:52:24.920 It exploded with incredible violence, destroying everything in the office.

00:52:33.180 Gil Murray was literally blown to pieces.

00:52:36.240 Four blocks away, the governor of California heard the blast from his office.

00:52:42.100 The unibomb scare was nationwide.

00:52:44.980 Bomb threat.

00:52:45.500 See, here's the postal inspectors, ATF on the scene, FBI.

00:52:49.200 We're being reported everywhere.

00:52:51.480 The FBI suspect list.

00:52:53.020 One million dollar reward, guys.

00:52:54.700 You see that, man?

00:52:55.440 And this is, guys, this is in the 90s.

00:52:57.600 For them to have a one million dollar reward called the Unibomb Task Force, this lets you know how big this was to them, guys.

00:53:05.040 And the million dollars back in, this is what, 19, early 90s?

00:53:09.240 I'll go ahead and do an inflation check right here for y'all.

00:53:11.640 The FBI suspect list topped 50,000 names.

00:53:17.600 16 years and 16 bombs later, the Unibomber had claimed three lives.

00:53:23.600 This is in around 94.

00:53:25.160 Injured two dozen people.

00:53:30.880 Two months after Murray was brutally killed, a letter arrived at the San Francisco Chronicle.

00:53:36.200 It read, the terrorist group FC, called Unibomb by the FBI, is planning to blow up an airliner out of Los Angeles International Airport during the next six days.

00:53:48.460 Okay, guys, one million dollars in 1994 is the equivalent of purchasing power to about one million nine hundred ninety nine thousand hundred sixty three dollars and twenty nine cents today.

00:53:58.460 So basically two million dollars.

00:54:00.000 It's basically double two million dollars back in the early 90s would have been the purchasing power of today, which is wild that they would have that big of an award for someone like this.

00:54:10.180 You don't see big rewards like this unless it's like a crazy, you know, international terrorist, you know, like Osama bin Laden had a big reward like this.

00:54:18.760 So for the Unibomber to get this in the early 90s, crazy.

00:54:22.020 That tells you how bad the FBI wanted this guy.

00:54:24.700 The threat had to be taken absolutely seriously because the Unibomber had, in fact, placed a bomb aboard an aircraft before it wasn't lethal enough below the plane out of the sky.

00:54:37.120 But we knew that that his bomb making ability had progressed enough that he certainly was capable of that now.

00:54:42.560 The FBI saw to it that special security measures went into effect immediately at California airports.

00:54:50.080 No one without a ticket was allowed through security.

00:54:53.320 All bags were searched.

00:54:55.620 Bomb sniffing dogs checked everything.

00:54:59.240 The Postal Service stopped flying the mail on commercial jets.

00:55:05.140 Passenger.

00:55:05.700 Imagine how much that backed up everything with the increased security, not being able to deliver mail.

00:55:10.600 This guy single-handedly pretty much put a stop to commerce in California airports.

00:55:17.340 Here's our question about carry-on luggage that they've had.

00:55:20.620 Have you had this package in your custody and control during the entire time?

00:55:25.200 Did you pack the suitcase yourself?

00:55:29.020 Those type of questions all began from that day in LAX.

00:55:33.420 The same day that the airliner threat was received at the San Francisco Chronicle,

00:55:37.560 the Washington Post received a message from FC, a 56-page typed manifesto.

00:55:45.360 The New York Times received a carbon copy of the manifesto the next day,

00:55:49.480 as did the adult magazine penthouse two days after that.

00:55:54.400 He sent it to penthouse.

00:55:57.000 Hey, porn guys, I need you guys to go ahead and publish my manifesto.

00:56:00.500 It's all these hoes. 1.00

00:56:01.620 I need to get some bitches. 1.00

00:56:02.380 A letter to the Post and Times laid out the terms and conditions for publication

00:56:06.940 and agreed to stop the bombings if the Post or the Times published.

00:56:12.460 The Special Agent Terry Turchi and the Unabomb Task Force receiving the manifesto was a huge break.

00:56:20.180 Of course, when the Unabomb manuscript came in, that was big information,

00:56:23.800 and this was a major break, and we all knew that it was a major break,

00:56:27.160 which, if handled properly, could possibly lead us to identify the Unabomber.

00:56:33.840 The manuscript, blandly titled Industrial Society and Its Consequences,

00:56:38.440 was a meticulously written tract against technology, genetics, leftism, conservatism, and modern society generally.

00:56:47.700 The FBI had many items of evidence collected from years of investigating this case.

00:56:59.100 They needed to generate just one solid lead,

00:57:02.700 one that could hopefully break the case wide open.

00:57:06.920 Freeman thought the answer lay in publishing the manifesto.

00:57:10.180 We very much were in favor of publishing it because after reading the manifesto,

00:57:17.140 it was clear that someone had put their philosophy that had evolved over a number of years

00:57:24.820 within the pages of this thing.

00:57:27.680 And what can that do?

00:57:29.320 Help you identify the person.

00:57:31.520 It was recognizable.

00:57:32.960 Somebody, in reading this, we hoped, would read it and say,

00:57:37.060 I remember that guy, he was sat next to me in class at such-and-such a university.

00:57:45.160 After some public soul-searching and discussions with the director of the FBI

00:57:49.440 and Attorney General Janet Reno, The Washington Post, and The New York Times,

00:57:54.160 the decision was made to publish the manifesto.

00:57:57.260 The manifesto appeared in a special section of The Post on September 19, 1995.

00:58:02.460 ...individuals no longer have power.

00:58:07.060 And here is the manifesto right here, guys.

00:58:10.180 This is the Unabomber Manifesto.

00:58:12.080 Industrial society and its future generally referred to as the Unabomber Manifesto.

00:58:15.680 It was a 3,500-word essay by Ted Kaczynski, published in 1995.

00:58:20.460 The essay contends that the Industrial Revolution began a harmful process of natural destruction

00:58:24.180 brought upon by technology while forcing humans to adapt to machinery,

00:58:28.600 creating a sociopolitical order that suppresses human freedom and potential.

00:58:32.220 The manifesto formed the ideological foundation of Kaczynski's 1978-1995 mail bomb campaign

00:58:37.980 designed to protect wilderness by hastening the collapse of industrial society.

00:58:42.860 It was originally printed in a supplement of The Washington Post

00:58:45.620 after Kaczynski offered to end his bombing campaign for national exposure.

00:58:48.920 Attorney General Janet Reno, who we just talked about at the time,

00:58:52.080 authorized the printing to help the FBI identify the author.

00:58:54.020 The printings and publicity around them eclipsed the bombings in notoriety

00:59:00.420 and led to Kaczynski's identification by his brother, okay?

00:59:03.980 We're going to talk about this here in a second.

00:59:05.860 But the manifesto, guys, argues against accepting individual technology advancements

00:59:09.880 as purely positive without accounting for their overall effect,

00:59:13.080 which includes the fall of small-scale living and the rise of uninhabitable cities,

00:59:17.900 while originally regarded as a thoughtful critique of modern society,

00:59:20.660 with roots in the work of academic authors such as Jakes Elul, Desmond Morris, and Martin Seligman.

00:59:27.140 Kaczynski's 1996 trial polarized public opinion around the essay,

00:59:30.680 and his court-appointed lawyers tried to justify their insanity defense

00:59:33.260 around characterizing the manifesto as a work of a madman,

00:59:35.940 and the prosecution lawyers rested their case on it being produced by a lucid mind.

00:59:40.500 So very interesting stuff, guys.

00:59:42.360 Huge essay that he wanted out there because he hated technology that much.

00:59:46.820 And you know, I ain't gonna lie, he was kind of right.

00:59:49.880 I mean, look at how Instagram and social media is influencing humanity now, man.

00:59:53.220 We got all these weird politically correct people.

00:59:56.960 You know, obviously he was crazy.

00:59:58.480 Nothing justifies hurting and killing innocent people.

01:00:01.280 But I guess in a little bit of a way he was correct

01:00:04.300 because it has made a lot of people's social health,

01:00:06.700 sorry, mental health deteriorate.

01:00:08.420 It's made people less social.

01:00:09.820 It's made people incredibly dependent upon technology

01:00:12.220 and in turn has made a lot of people stupid.

01:00:14.160 I mean, we can see what social media has done

01:00:16.100 to a large majority of the young people nowadays

01:00:18.200 being anti-social, awkward, strange, socially inept,

01:00:23.540 low self-esteem, lower levels of general happiness.

01:00:27.460 So yeah, I mean, an over-dependence on anything is gonna mess you up.

01:00:31.540 In 1996, Ted Kaczynski's brother David

01:00:35.520 had been doing some soul-searching of his own.

01:00:37.780 The news reports that the Unabomber had connections to Chicago,

01:00:43.460 their boyhood home, as well as to Berkeley and Salt Lake City,

01:00:47.520 nagged at him.

01:00:49.180 He got a copy of the manifesto and began reading.

01:00:52.800 He read it in the hopes of erasing the idea

01:00:55.420 that his brother was a killer.

01:00:57.160 What he read sent chills down his spine.

01:01:02.420 He recognized the language and content of the manifesto

01:01:05.280 as being similar to that of writings by his brother Ted.

01:01:09.580 David dug up as many old letters and writings of Ted's

01:01:12.700 as he could find and compared them to the Unabomber manifesto.

01:01:16.980 Both had employed the unique phrase,

01:01:19.420 cool-headed logician.

01:01:21.680 David was distressed, but not yet convinced.

01:01:24.560 Cool-headed logician.

01:01:28.700 That's a unique phrase.

01:01:30.580 He wrote Ted an urgent letter.

01:01:32.600 Though he did not reveal his suspicions,

01:01:35.060 he requested a visit to Montana.

01:01:38.980 Ted refused his brother's request.

01:01:43.140 Yeah, he was like,

01:01:44.240 Nope, you fired me over that bitch, I'm good, bro. 1.00

01:01:47.420 David decided to call a private investigator

01:01:49.760 to look into the matter.

01:01:51.600 But the news that the private eye brought him

01:01:53.780 was not encouraging.

01:01:58.600 The private eye submitted the manifesto

01:02:00.860 along with some of Ted's writing

01:02:02.320 to be analyzed by experts

01:02:03.960 who didn't know the parties involved.

01:02:06.380 The experts concluded that the authors

01:02:08.540 had a strong chance of being the same person.

01:02:11.280 So, guys,

01:02:12.820 his brother basically did his own independent investigation

01:02:16.360 and went ahead

01:02:17.740 and turned his brother's letters in

01:02:20.520 alongside the manifesto

01:02:22.300 through a private eye.

01:02:23.560 Private eye went ahead and submitted it to some experts

01:02:25.340 at deducting,

01:02:26.840 you know,

01:02:28.180 written word, etc.

01:02:29.160 and they were able to conclude

01:02:31.140 there was an extremely high likelihood

01:02:33.440 that both writers,

01:02:35.900 one of the manifesto,

01:02:37.260 and the one of his letters with his brother

01:02:39.040 are the same individual.

01:02:40.260 But they didn't necessarily know

01:02:41.400 what was what.

01:02:42.500 Okay?

01:02:43.740 So, that's an incredible find.

01:02:46.300 And obviously,

01:02:46.860 this is going to bother him

01:02:47.680 because when you start,

01:02:48.920 you know,

01:02:49.460 reading letters from your relative

01:02:51.260 and you see that it's written the same way

01:02:52.900 as this wild manifesto

01:02:54.200 that's been printed all over the place,

01:02:56.660 it's going to literally send chills up your spine.

01:02:59.440 And also, guys,

01:02:59.940 remember,

01:03:00.680 this is in the mid-90s.

01:03:02.560 Everyone was reading newspapers back then.

01:03:04.460 It's not like today

01:03:05.120 where you got your news off the internet

01:03:06.900 or you got it off,

01:03:08.160 you know,

01:03:08.460 I mean,

01:03:08.680 television news was a thing back then,

01:03:10.400 but a lot of people read the paper, guys.

01:03:13.040 The paper was the way

01:03:14.480 people got their news back in the 90s, okay?

01:03:17.040 I remember back in the day

01:03:17.920 when I was a kid in 95,

01:03:20.300 my dad was reading the New York Post

01:03:21.800 every single day, okay?

01:03:23.620 That's how people got their news back then,

01:03:25.820 all right?

01:03:26.260 Stationery was real.

01:03:27.900 Obviously, nowadays,

01:03:28.820 everyone gets it through the internet,

01:03:29.960 social media, Twitter,

01:03:30.900 but none of these things existed in the 90s, guys.

01:03:33.420 So, if something was published

01:03:35.080 in the Washington Post,

01:03:37.100 New York Times, et cetera,

01:03:37.940 you best believe

01:03:39.080 people read it, okay?

01:03:41.340 That's how you went viral back in the day.

01:03:45.440 Frantically,

01:03:46.040 David continued his search

01:03:47.280 for anything Ted had ever written to him.

01:03:50.120 In an old trunk,

01:03:51.060 he came across the essay

01:03:52.160 Ted had sent him back in 1971.

01:03:56.460 David could no longer hide from the reality

01:03:58.760 that his brother

01:04:00.160 might be the Unabomber.

01:04:02.820 Wild.

01:04:07.220 David Kaczynski was stunned.

01:04:09.080 And remember, guys,

01:04:10.500 people had died.

01:04:11.680 There were bombs

01:04:12.080 all over the place.

01:04:14.100 People were getting injured.

01:04:15.600 So, in his head,

01:04:16.340 he's like,

01:04:16.700 damn,

01:04:17.620 what am I going to do?

01:04:18.460 What's the right thing to do?

01:04:19.200 Am I going to turn my brother in?

01:04:20.840 Or am I going to let him continue

01:04:22.100 to hurt and kill people?

01:04:23.340 The 1971 essay David had unearthed

01:04:26.420 was eerily similar

01:04:27.820 to the Unabomber manifesto.

01:04:29.620 Torn by the prospect

01:04:35.080 of turning in his own brother

01:04:36.440 on the one hand

01:04:37.220 and endangering lives

01:04:38.920 on the other,

01:04:40.360 David Kaczynski

01:04:41.140 made a gut-wrenching decision.

01:04:43.520 Through his attorney,

01:04:44.700 he contacted the FBI

01:04:46.200 about his brother.

01:04:49.500 In February of 1996,

01:04:51.940 David Kaczynski told Tess...

01:04:53.600 They were also able

01:04:54.420 to identify him, guys,

01:04:55.600 because he had a very particular way

01:04:56.960 of writing certain things.

01:04:57.660 So, for example,

01:04:58.380 one of the phrases

01:04:58.960 that the Unabomber 0.97

01:05:00.080 would always say is,

01:05:01.340 you guys know the common saying,

01:05:03.060 you know,

01:05:03.500 you can't have your cake

01:05:04.240 and eat it too.

01:05:05.020 Well, the Unabomber would say,

01:05:06.360 you can't eat your cake

01:05:07.300 and have it too.

01:05:09.180 So, he would flip it around, okay?

01:05:10.860 Because, you know,

01:05:11.700 he was one of those...

01:05:12.300 And this is very common

01:05:13.240 with guys that are very intelligent,

01:05:15.040 that are academics.

01:05:16.180 They're extremely pedantic.

01:05:17.580 They like to go ahead

01:05:18.660 and they care by minute details

01:05:22.640 like that.

01:05:23.320 So, instead of taking

01:05:24.160 the, you know,

01:05:24.600 common phrase of,

01:05:25.620 you can't have your cake

01:05:26.320 and eat it too,

01:05:27.160 he would say,

01:05:27.660 eat your cake

01:05:28.580 and have it too, right?

01:05:29.820 So, that was another way

01:05:30.580 they were able to identify him

01:05:31.760 as well through his writings.

01:05:33.780 ...forced members

01:05:34.400 of his suspicions.

01:05:36.140 He gave a detailed

01:05:37.240 accounting of Ted's life,

01:05:38.880 where he grew up,

01:05:39.920 where he went to school,

01:05:41.120 and where he now lived.

01:05:42.780 He then turned over

01:05:43.720 the 1971 essay.

01:05:45.300 And then we were able to do

01:05:48.400 a side-by-side comparison

01:05:49.740 between that document

01:05:50.820 that was prepared

01:05:52.960 many years before

01:05:54.100 to the current copy

01:05:56.600 of the manifesto.

01:05:57.680 And it was very clear

01:06:00.420 to us,

01:06:01.580 many of us,

01:06:02.680 in the task force

01:06:04.040 that the similarities

01:06:06.000 were more than coincidental.

01:06:08.420 The FBI analyzed the essay

01:06:11.460 and found over

01:06:12.200 160 examples

01:06:13.800 of similarities

01:06:14.660 with the Unabomber manifesto,

01:06:16.940 including common phrases

01:06:18.200 and misspellings.

01:06:19.420 The list went on and on.

01:06:21.340 After 17 years,

01:06:26.440 the FBI had its first...

01:06:27.840 So, in his manifesto, guys,

01:06:29.120 he goes,

01:06:29.980 as for the negative consequences

01:06:31.760 of eliminating

01:06:32.600 industrial society,

01:06:33.680 well, you can't eat your cake

01:06:35.320 and have it too,

01:06:36.060 versus you can't have your cake

01:06:37.440 and eat it too.

01:06:38.260 So, he would flip it around,

01:06:39.520 and that was a telltale...

01:06:40.880 That was something

01:06:41.880 that his brother

01:06:42.380 was able to identify

01:06:43.420 that it was his brother

01:06:45.320 that said that,

01:06:45.860 because obviously,

01:06:46.560 that's a common phrase

01:06:47.580 and not many people

01:06:48.340 reverse it in that way.

01:06:50.020 And that was because

01:06:50.740 Ted Kaczynski

01:06:51.280 was a genius.

01:06:52.300 He understood,

01:06:53.160 hey, this doesn't make sense.

01:06:54.420 This sounds better.

01:06:55.660 Okay?

01:06:56.020 And that was one of the ways

01:06:56.660 they were actually able

01:06:57.180 to identify him

01:06:57.860 was through the manifesto

01:06:58.860 compared with his letters

01:07:00.000 that he wrote to his brother.

01:07:01.460 First major suspect,

01:07:03.540 Ted Kaczynski.

01:07:05.900 Dozens of FBI agents

01:07:07.420 quietly slipped

01:07:08.300 into the small town

01:07:09.340 of Lincoln, Montana.

01:07:11.420 The FBI kept careful surveillance

01:07:13.480 on Kaczynski's cabin

01:07:14.720 as they laid out the case

01:07:15.940 for a search warrant,

01:07:17.440 hoping that the Unabomber 1.00

01:07:18.580 would not strike again

01:07:19.640 in the interim.

01:07:20.180 By the beginning of April,

01:07:22.860 enough information

01:07:23.600 had been uncovered

01:07:24.460 to justify the warrant.

01:07:31.280 Among other things,

01:07:32.600 agents were able to learn

01:07:33.700 that Ted had traveled extensively.

01:07:36.180 Hotel records showed

01:07:37.200 that he was always on the move

01:07:38.700 immediately preceding

01:07:40.140 a Unabomber event.

01:07:41.260 Agent Terry Turchie submitted

01:07:46.680 a meticulous 65-page affidavit

01:07:49.240 outlining the government's case

01:07:50.940 against Ted Kaczynski

01:07:52.160 and requesting permission

01:07:53.640 to search his cabin.

01:07:54.580 We had been working all morning

01:07:57.760 since about 5 that morning

01:07:59.280 to preposition various agent teams

01:08:02.840 in different locations

01:08:03.860 in the woods in Lincoln, Montana

01:08:05.480 and at a forward command post

01:08:07.360 that we established in Lincoln.

01:08:09.260 Everybody had a different role.

01:08:10.580 We had also had

01:08:11.360 the evidence response teams

01:08:12.900 coming in,

01:08:13.680 and they were staging

01:08:14.700 at another command post

01:08:16.360 that we had in Lincoln.

01:08:17.140 So everyone was ready to go

01:08:18.840 once the warrant was signed.

01:08:22.880 Disguised FBI agents

01:08:24.420 and a forest officer

01:08:25.620 approached Kaczynski's cabin.

01:08:30.640 They walked toward his cabin

01:08:32.080 speaking loudly.

01:08:33.680 They didn't want Kaczynski

01:08:34.840 to suspect there was anybody

01:08:36.160 sneaking up on him.

01:08:39.580 The officers asked him

01:08:41.060 to help identify

01:08:41.920 a property line on their map.

01:08:47.140 As he turned to get his coat,

01:08:49.860 the officers pounced on Kaczynski.

01:08:52.420 The suspected Unabomber

01:08:53.860 was in custody.

01:08:55.900 They finally got him, man.

01:08:57.140 It took almost 20 years.

01:09:08.640 Kaczynski was immediately

01:09:09.880 taken for questioning

01:09:11.000 to a temporary forward command post.

01:09:14.180 Jim Freeman was about

01:09:15.420 to come face to face

01:09:16.580 with the man

01:09:17.280 that had looted the FBI

01:09:18.600 for nearly two decades.

01:09:21.540 He looked just

01:09:22.620 absolutely disheveled.

01:09:24.080 He looked like

01:09:24.920 he was covered with soot.

01:09:27.040 The agents that had

01:09:28.520 grabbed his arms

01:09:29.960 to restrain him

01:09:32.660 had soot on their hands.

01:09:34.800 So, Ted,

01:09:35.180 you like to travel?

01:09:36.500 Kaczynski admitted nothing

01:09:37.640 and refused to say

01:09:39.040 whether the cabin

01:09:39.800 had any live bombs.

01:09:42.260 As the questioning continued,

01:09:44.080 the search of the cabin began.

01:09:46.580 The tiny cabin

01:09:49.520 was treated essentially

01:09:50.680 like a live bomb.

01:09:52.680 It was assumed

01:09:53.500 that the place

01:09:54.160 at the very least

01:09:55.080 had live bombs in it

01:09:56.480 or at worst

01:09:57.660 was heavily booby-trapped.

01:09:59.440 So now they got to search it

01:10:03.160 and obviously

01:10:03.720 they got to take

01:10:04.360 crazy precautions,

01:10:05.360 guys,

01:10:05.560 to go in there

01:10:06.060 and make sure

01:10:06.620 that they don't get hurt

01:10:07.820 in the process

01:10:08.660 of searching it

01:10:09.400 because someone like this

01:10:10.440 that's obviously

01:10:11.280 very intelligent,

01:10:12.020 et cetera,

01:10:13.080 you know,

01:10:13.540 he might booby-track the place.

01:10:17.500 Explosive ordinance

01:10:18.300 disposal teams

01:10:19.280 cautiously made their way

01:10:20.640 into the cabin.

01:10:23.820 Ted Kaczynski

01:10:24.560 had not been formally

01:10:25.500 arrested on any charges yet.

01:10:28.200 As investigators

01:10:28.960 searched through his cabin,

01:10:30.700 they found enough evidence

01:10:31.800 to charge him

01:10:32.580 with possession

01:10:33.120 of bomb-making materials.

01:10:35.280 They found pipes,

01:10:36.700 chemicals,

01:10:37.720 wiring,

01:10:38.580 batteries,

01:10:39.460 and wooden boxes.

01:10:41.000 That's a bunch

01:10:41.560 of evidence right there.

01:10:43.160 This charge

01:10:43.960 would allow agents

01:10:44.760 to hold Kaczynski

01:10:45.920 until a more thorough search

01:10:47.360 could be conducted.

01:10:48.100 FBI special agent

01:10:53.240 and explosive expert

01:10:54.580 Donald Sockleben

01:10:55.660 was responsible

01:10:56.480 for quickly gathering evidence

01:10:58.140 in order to obtain

01:10:59.260 the arrest warrant.

01:11:00.620 And here's some footage,

01:11:01.960 guys,

01:11:02.160 of them actually picking him up

01:11:03.480 from back then.

01:11:04.260 I'll run that for y'all

01:11:05.100 real fast.

01:11:08.360 The actual real footage itself.

01:11:10.520 Computer science is built.

01:11:11.660 A page from our

01:11:13.000 Sunday morning almanac.

01:11:14.560 April 3rd, 1996,

01:11:16.560 20 years ago today.

01:11:19.060 Today, the FBI

01:11:19.980 arrested Theodore Kaczynski,

01:11:22.140 the suspected Unabomber,

01:11:24.160 at his cabin

01:11:24.860 in rural Montana.

01:11:27.380 Beginning in 1978,

01:11:29.920 a mysterious series

01:11:30.960 of bombings

01:11:31.700 across the country

01:11:32.460 had killed three people

01:11:35.080 and wounded 23 others.

01:11:37.520 The bomb on the Yale campus

01:11:39.480 today blew up

01:11:40.380 in the computer sciences building.

01:11:42.360 The targets were mostly

01:11:43.520 either universities

01:11:44.680 or airlines.

01:11:46.560 A small bomb

01:11:47.600 exploded in a mail pouch

01:11:49.020 in the cargo hold.

01:11:50.440 Which explains the origin

01:11:51.720 of his nickname,

01:11:52.580 the Unabomber.

01:11:54.260 For years,

01:11:55.060 the only clue

01:11:55.920 to his identity

01:11:56.740 was this single sketch

01:11:58.880 of a shadowy,

01:11:59.900 hooded figure.

01:12:00.560 Announced from the receptionist.

01:12:01.720 It was all there today,

01:12:02.900 all 35,000 words

01:12:04.640 of the Unabomber's 0.98

01:12:05.600 message to America.

01:12:06.900 Yep.

01:12:07.060 A big break came in.

01:12:07.880 Again,

01:12:08.340 this comes,

01:12:08.860 back then, guys,

01:12:09.620 that's how people

01:12:10.020 got their news

01:12:10.580 in the 90s, baby.

01:12:11.700 Newspapers were the way to go.

01:12:12.820 No Twitter,

01:12:14.920 no phone,

01:12:15.980 you know,

01:12:16.320 no smartphones

01:12:17.180 to give you your news.

01:12:18.980 Stationary.

01:12:19.700 Newspapers.

01:12:20.520 When the Washington Post

01:12:22.560 printed a long

01:12:23.620 anti-technology manifesto

01:12:25.780 from the Unabomber

01:12:26.780 entitled

01:12:27.200 Industrial Society

01:12:28.980 and Its Future.

01:12:31.160 All right.

01:12:32.920 You guys can see

01:12:33.740 when he got picked up,

01:12:34.460 he was very disheveled.

01:12:36.300 I mean,

01:12:36.520 look at him right here.

01:12:37.480 It's him.

01:12:39.680 Oh.

01:12:40.360 God damn it.

01:12:44.080 Barometric switch to...

01:12:45.440 Now,

01:12:46.240 a page from our

01:12:47.180 Sunday morning...

01:12:47.780 He's right there.

01:12:48.180 Look at him.

01:12:48.640 Looks homeless.

01:12:49.100 April 3rd, 1996.

01:12:50.960 Living in the middle

01:12:51.500 of nowhere.

01:12:52.020 This is the day

01:12:52.480 they got him.

01:12:53.000 20 years ago.

01:12:53.840 And they said

01:12:54.460 he was all dirty looking.

01:12:58.580 Back to the documentary.

01:13:00.520 He rushed to Helena 0.55

01:13:01.600 to petition the judge.

01:13:03.780 Sock Laban

01:13:04.400 had been working

01:13:05.040 on the Unabomber

01:13:05.860 case for years.

01:13:07.480 I think it was

01:13:08.620 on the ride

01:13:09.360 back to Helena

01:13:10.120 that night

01:13:10.800 when Pat Webb

01:13:12.080 and I,

01:13:12.460 who had worked

01:13:12.940 on this

01:13:13.300 for so many years,

01:13:14.540 just sort of

01:13:15.080 looked at each other

01:13:15.880 and realized

01:13:16.520 that maybe this

01:13:17.340 was the beginning

01:13:18.100 of the end.

01:13:19.160 That we really

01:13:20.060 did believe

01:13:21.420 that night

01:13:22.000 if we hadn't

01:13:22.500 believed before

01:13:23.260 that we had,

01:13:24.660 in fact,

01:13:24.960 caught the Unabomber.

01:13:27.300 Ted Kaczynski

01:13:28.240 was detained

01:13:28.860 overnight

01:13:29.380 until formal

01:13:30.260 arrest charges

01:13:30.980 could be brought

01:13:31.580 the following morning.

01:13:33.820 He was led

01:13:34.680 through the streets

01:13:35.340 on national television

01:13:36.520 looking every day

01:13:37.460 every bit

01:13:38.020 for part

01:13:38.480 of an eccentric

01:13:39.160 hermit.

01:13:40.020 There he is.

01:13:40.620 This is real life

01:13:41.120 footage here.

01:13:41.920 He was presented

01:13:42.580 the next day

01:13:43.340 before a judge

01:13:44.140 in health

01:13:44.540 on a charge

01:13:45.680 of possession

01:13:46.320 of bomb-making

01:13:47.120 equipment.

01:13:47.560 The search

01:13:51.120 of the cabin

01:13:51.740 continued.

01:13:53.180 The room

01:13:53.560 was a goldmine,

01:13:55.080 but a dangerous

01:13:56.200 one.

01:13:57.740 Each book,

01:14:00.000 each binder

01:14:00.760 needed to be

01:14:01.460 x-rayed

01:14:02.020 for explosive

01:14:02.640 devices.

01:14:04.080 It was clearly

01:14:05.000 going to take

01:14:05.660 a long time

01:14:06.620 to search

01:14:07.140 the tiny cabin.

01:14:09.740 The evidence

01:14:10.760 being slowly

01:14:11.460 hauled out

01:14:12.020 of the cabin

01:14:12.640 was damaged.

01:14:14.360 A series

01:14:14.920 of three-ring

01:14:15.660 binders

01:14:16.340 with page

01:14:17.280 after page

01:14:17.960 of detailed

01:14:18.680 bomb designs

01:14:19.480 which matched

01:14:20.240 the bombs

01:14:20.740 used in many

01:14:21.460 of the unibomb

01:14:22.140 explosions.

01:14:23.840 Explosive powders

01:14:24.860 of the type

01:14:25.440 used in the

01:14:25.980 bombings.

01:14:27.340 Aluminum ingots

01:14:28.320 and aluminum

01:14:28.880 shavings on the

01:14:29.740 floor.

01:14:30.460 Crucial bomb

01:14:31.200 components.

01:14:34.360 There was the

01:14:35.180 infamous hooded

01:14:35.960 sweatshirt and

01:14:36.740 sunglasses.

01:14:37.280 Yep, that's

01:14:38.800 what they

01:14:39.000 caught them

01:14:39.300 with before.

01:14:40.060 From the

01:14:40.760 sketch, guys.

01:14:43.340 Agent Thomas

01:14:44.360 Monnell, the

01:14:45.100 expert on

01:14:45.720 unibomb devices,

01:14:46.880 was also

01:14:47.340 inside the

01:14:48.220 cabin.

01:14:49.960 The other

01:14:50.760 evidence located

01:14:51.720 in the cabin

01:14:52.300 were electrical

01:14:53.220 components and

01:14:54.300 wire that were

01:14:54.880 consistent with

01:14:55.760 the majority

01:14:56.560 of the unibomb

01:14:57.280 devices.

01:14:58.280 We found

01:14:58.800 an improvised

01:15:00.260 or a homemade

01:15:01.120 flip-type

01:15:02.240 switch that was

01:15:03.620 literally identical

01:15:04.620 to three switches

01:15:06.120 that were used

01:15:06.820 in earlier

01:15:07.520 bombs.

01:15:08.380 And that's the

01:15:08.780 importance of

01:15:09.280 having someone,

01:15:10.260 one guy,

01:15:11.140 handling all the

01:15:11.860 evidence as far

01:15:12.960 as an expert

01:15:13.480 because now he's

01:15:14.800 there at that

01:15:15.200 search.

01:15:15.500 He knows exactly

01:15:16.100 what to look

01:15:16.620 for.

01:15:17.260 He's able to go

01:15:17.820 ahead and be

01:15:18.140 like, yep, we

01:15:18.600 need this.

01:15:19.060 This is going to

01:15:19.860 be solid.

01:15:20.300 This matches

01:15:20.740 what I've been

01:15:21.800 able to find in

01:15:23.120 my other bombs

01:15:24.600 that I've been

01:15:24.940 analyzing.

01:15:25.560 So it's always a

01:15:27.200 goldmine to have

01:15:27.800 a subject matter

01:15:28.860 expert involved

01:15:30.020 from the onset

01:15:31.540 of the case and

01:15:32.100 then be involved

01:15:32.640 in the actual

01:15:33.180 search of the

01:15:33.660 case when you're

01:15:34.100 looking for more

01:15:34.720 clues and

01:15:35.120 evidence.

01:15:36.820 After almost

01:15:38.540 two full days,

01:15:39.880 the search came

01:15:40.720 to a sudden

01:15:41.380 stop.

01:15:42.460 A package was

01:15:43.360 found.

01:15:44.360 It was wrapped

01:15:45.040 like previous

01:15:45.720 bombs with a

01:15:46.520 return address.

01:15:47.980 All it awaited

01:15:49.020 was a victim's

01:15:49.720 name and address

01:15:50.520 for the front.

01:15:51.700 So he had a bomb

01:15:52.560 ready to go.

01:15:53.240 And determined

01:15:53.760 to be a live

01:15:55.280 pipe.

01:15:56.040 Wow.

01:15:57.320 Special Agent

01:15:58.160 Socklaven had 1.00

01:15:58.980 to handle it

01:15:59.520 crisis.

01:15:59.980 Well, from the

01:16:02.140 x-ray, it looked

01:16:02.860 very similar to

01:16:04.340 the last bomb

01:16:05.520 that had been

01:16:06.160 placed, the one

01:16:07.320 that killed Mr.

01:16:08.420 Murray in

01:16:08.880 Sacramento.

01:16:10.040 We were able

01:16:10.900 to safely remove

01:16:12.040 the box from

01:16:12.800 the cabin and

01:16:13.900 take it down

01:16:14.540 the hill to

01:16:15.480 where we set

01:16:15.980 up a site

01:16:16.520 to deal

01:16:16.900 with the bomb.

01:16:18.580 The search

01:16:19.340 slowly continued

01:16:20.260 in the days

01:16:20.840 ahead, and

01:16:21.820 more and more

01:16:22.480 damning evidence

01:16:23.380 was seized.

01:16:24.880 In addition

01:16:25.680 to bomb-making

01:16:26.460 paraphernalia

01:16:27.260 and chemicals,

01:16:28.680 agents also seized

01:16:29.680 letters, notes,

01:16:31.060 diagrams, and

01:16:32.780 the Unabomber

01:16:33.500 manifesto.

01:16:35.680 One irrefutable

01:16:36.800 link between

01:16:37.480 Ted Kaczynski

01:16:38.240 and the Unabomber

01:16:39.040 remained.

01:16:40.240 The typewriter

01:16:41.000 used for the

01:16:41.880 manifesto.

01:16:43.000 Bam.

01:16:44.540 The typewriter

01:16:45.320 that had been

01:16:46.560 used to type

01:16:47.120 the manifesto

01:16:48.020 wasn't found

01:16:48.780 until literally

01:16:50.560 the last day

01:16:51.380 of the search,

01:16:52.400 which took

01:16:52.740 four or five

01:16:53.540 days.

01:16:54.420 It was literally

01:16:55.000 in the bottom

01:16:56.020 of the last box

01:16:57.020 that was

01:16:57.480 opened.

01:16:59.780 It had taken

01:17:00.280 11 days to

01:17:01.160 search an

01:17:01.620 eight-

01:17:01.800 And that right

01:17:02.280 there is a

01:17:02.660 smoking gun,

01:17:03.220 my friends.

01:17:04.220 Make sure to

01:17:04.580 like the video,

01:17:05.020 guys, and subscribe

01:17:05.560 to the channel.

01:17:05.980 ...a square foot

01:17:07.100 room.

01:17:08.000 But the FBI's

01:17:08.980 careful approach

01:17:09.800 had paid off.

01:17:11.600 The man who

01:17:12.180 had killed,

01:17:13.520 maimed,

01:17:14.160 and ruined

01:17:14.860 lives,

01:17:15.640 all the while

01:17:16.360 taunting the

01:17:17.100 FBI,

01:17:18.200 was caught

01:17:18.720 stone cold.

01:17:19.560 on April

01:17:23.900 14th,

01:17:24.540 the entire

01:17:25.120 cabin was

01:17:25.800 hoisted

01:17:26.100 onto a

01:17:26.660 flatbed

01:17:27.100 and hauled

01:17:28.100 away for

01:17:28.580 further

01:17:28.920 examination.

01:17:30.580 The charges

01:17:31.120 against Kaczynski

01:17:32.040 had been

01:17:32.880 upgraded.

01:17:33.320 And they

01:17:35.300 actually have

01:17:35.860 it now,

01:17:36.200 guys,

01:17:36.500 in the

01:17:36.720 FBI

01:17:37.060 museum,

01:17:37.880 that house.

01:17:38.720 And I'll

01:17:39.220 show you

01:17:39.480 guys real

01:17:40.480 quick here.

01:17:41.460 They basically

01:17:42.360 went ahead and

01:17:43.720 hauled it.

01:17:44.020 And this is

01:17:44.260 from their

01:17:44.620 website here,

01:17:46.000 the FBI official

01:17:46.580 website,

01:17:46.980 FBI.gov,

01:17:47.600 as you guys

01:17:47.900 know.

01:17:48.560 And this is it

01:17:49.480 right here.

01:17:49.860 It's in the

01:17:50.380 FBI experience.

01:17:51.080 It's a part of

01:17:51.720 their museum now

01:17:52.340 in Washington,

01:17:52.900 D.C.

01:17:53.760 As you guys

01:17:54.160 can see,

01:17:54.460 they reconstructed

01:17:55.200 it.

01:17:56.240 Okay.

01:17:57.640 And here it

01:17:58.200 is right here.

01:18:01.160 And let's just

01:18:01.820 fast forward this

01:18:02.460 thing.

01:18:02.700 And there it is

01:18:03.060 right there.

01:18:03.420 So people can

01:18:03.860 actually like look

01:18:04.500 at it.

01:18:06.240 And, you know,

01:18:07.100 but that's the

01:18:07.600 actual one,

01:18:08.480 which is wild.

01:18:12.360 On June 18th,

01:18:13.540 1996,

01:18:14.860 Ted Kaczynski

01:18:15.540 was indicted in

01:18:16.520 Sacramento on

01:18:17.360 10 counts relating

01:18:18.420 to Unabomber

01:18:19.240 activities.

01:18:20.740 One charge in

01:18:21.680 the death of

01:18:22.160 Hugh Scruton.

01:18:23.200 Three charges

01:18:24.140 in the wounding

01:18:24.760 of Charles Epstein.

01:18:26.300 Three charges

01:18:26.940 in the maiming

01:18:27.680 of David Bill

01:18:28.400 Lerger.

01:18:28.840 Now you guys

01:18:29.260 are probably

01:18:29.520 wondering why

01:18:29.960 did they indict

01:18:30.480 him out of

01:18:30.820 Sacramento?

01:18:31.360 The reason why

01:18:31.880 guys like the

01:18:33.000 video, by the

01:18:33.360 way, is because

01:18:34.200 Sacramento had

01:18:34.920 the strongest

01:18:35.380 case because

01:18:37.780 people had died

01:18:38.500 in that

01:18:38.840 jurisdiction.

01:18:39.700 Obviously,

01:18:40.120 bombs went off

01:18:40.640 all across the

01:18:41.260 United States.

01:18:42.260 So there was

01:18:42.740 venue in different

01:18:43.460 places where they

01:18:44.020 could have charged

01:18:44.460 them, but they're

01:18:45.140 going to go ahead

01:18:45.780 and prosecute him

01:18:47.000 in the best venue

01:18:47.980 where he'll get

01:18:48.420 the most time,

01:18:49.060 which in this

01:18:49.420 case happens to

01:18:50.000 be Sacramento

01:18:50.460 because those

01:18:51.060 were some of

01:18:51.420 the strongest

01:18:52.180 bombs exposed.

01:18:53.200 And three charges

01:18:55.480 in the death

01:18:56.420 of Gil Murray.

01:18:58.420 That day would

01:18:59.680 have been Gil

01:19:00.280 Murray's 48th

01:19:01.500 birthday.

01:19:03.820 New Jersey

01:19:04.340 authorities filed

01:19:05.340 more charges

01:19:06.020 for the death

01:19:06.640 of Thomas Moser.

01:19:09.220 On November 12,

01:19:10.660 1996, selected

01:19:12.240 visitors filed

01:19:13.140 into a sacrament

01:19:13.980 of courtroom

01:19:14.540 for the long

01:19:15.260 awaited trial

01:19:15.980 of Ted Kaczynski.

01:19:18.420 In the front row

01:19:19.640 was Ted's family,

01:19:21.020 brother David,

01:19:22.020 and his mother,

01:19:23.220 Wanda Kaczynski.

01:19:24.960 As Ted entered

01:19:25.840 the courtroom,

01:19:26.600 he turned his

01:19:27.280 back angrily on

01:19:28.200 his family members

01:19:29.080 and never

01:19:29.800 because his brother

01:19:30.360 had told on him.

01:19:31.240 And this is actual

01:19:31.780 footage, by the way,

01:19:32.400 of them walking him.

01:19:33.360 Or acknowledge them.

01:19:34.640 Opening statements

01:19:35.460 were about to begin.

01:19:36.860 Kaczynski stood up

01:19:37.960 and said,

01:19:38.500 And these are marshals

01:19:39.260 right here.

01:19:39.520 You guys can see

01:19:39.960 from their badges.

01:19:41.360 This is the United

01:19:41.980 States Marshal Service.

01:19:42.840 They pretty much,

01:19:43.740 anytime someone is

01:19:44.540 arrested and then

01:19:45.120 move through the

01:19:45.680 judicial system,

01:19:46.800 they're going to be

01:19:47.200 moved with the marshals.

01:19:48.020 And he probably has

01:19:48.580 a big entourage here

01:19:49.320 because obviously

01:19:49.800 this was a huge case,

01:19:50.900 guys.

01:19:51.540 And at the end

01:19:52.340 of the day,

01:19:53.220 you know,

01:19:53.540 he's there to get

01:19:54.080 justice.

01:19:54.500 They want to make

01:19:54.880 sure no one attacks

01:19:55.560 him or tries to kill

01:19:56.180 him.

01:19:56.320 And his defense

01:20:20.720 tried to raise

01:20:21.320 the insanity plea.

01:20:26.320 Feds don't lose, 1.00

01:20:34.920 man.

01:20:35.200 There's a fucking gun

01:20:35.900 here.

01:20:42.280 With Ted Kaczynski's

01:20:44.060 arrest,

01:20:44.700 they were now able

01:20:45.460 to establish an

01:20:46.420 irrefutable link

01:20:47.400 between him

01:20:48.160 and the Unabomber.

01:20:51.080 Ted's desire for

01:20:52.520 solitude would no

01:20:53.980 longer be self-imposed.

01:20:56.320 With no options,

01:20:58.000 he pled guilty to

01:20:59.060 all Unabomber-related

01:21:00.340 crimes.

01:21:01.300 Wow.

01:21:02.160 He was given

01:21:02.880 four life sentences

01:21:03.980 plus 30 years.

01:21:05.860 He would never be

01:21:06.920 eligible for parole.

01:21:08.340 And he did that

01:21:09.140 to avoid the death

01:21:09.820 penalty.

01:21:10.860 He was looking at

01:21:11.720 death.

01:21:13.080 For Agent Terry

01:21:13.940 Turchie,

01:21:14.820 the Unabomber

01:21:15.620 investigation shows

01:21:16.740 the FBI's

01:21:17.620 determination to

01:21:18.520 never quit until

01:21:19.620 justice is served,

01:21:21.040 no matter how long

01:21:22.600 it takes.

01:21:23.140 For the people

01:21:25.460 committing these crimes

01:21:26.520 who may go on for

01:21:28.060 many years and not

01:21:28.780 get caught,

01:21:29.900 they may become

01:21:30.920 more arrogant or

01:21:31.660 they may become

01:21:32.220 more complacent or

01:21:33.040 they may think

01:21:33.600 we're never going

01:21:34.180 to catch them.

01:21:35.120 But I think for

01:21:35.680 them and for the

01:21:36.300 public,

01:21:36.760 the message has to

01:21:38.260 be that we don't

01:21:39.300 give up and that

01:21:40.160 we're going to stay

01:21:40.640 with it until we

01:21:41.380 solve it.

01:21:42.360 And certainly I

01:21:43.520 think that is what

01:21:44.320 we're called upon to

01:21:45.360 do and what we need

01:21:46.040 to do.

01:21:46.300 In June 1998,

01:21:51.560 Joanna Lee,

01:21:52.620 an assistant editor

01:21:53.600 at Simon &

01:21:54.400 Schuster Publishing,

01:21:55.800 received a letter

01:21:56.740 from Ted Kaczynski

01:21:57.940 with a prison

01:21:58.720 return address.

01:22:00.960 She knew he was

01:22:01.780 the convicted

01:22:02.300 unibon,

01:22:03.420 but opened it

01:22:04.180 anyway.

01:22:07.360 Kaczynski wanted

01:22:08.140 them to publish a

01:22:09.140 book about his

01:22:09.880 struggle.

01:22:12.980 To this date,

01:22:14.420 there are no

01:22:15.220 takers.

01:22:15.740 Oh man.

01:22:17.180 Nope.

01:22:19.220 They're just like,

01:22:20.040 we're good,

01:22:20.420 bro.

01:22:23.680 And that,

01:22:24.360 my friends,

01:22:24.900 is the story of

01:22:26.420 the Unabomber,

01:22:27.380 guys.

01:22:27.960 So real quick,

01:22:28.540 I'll go ahead and

01:22:29.040 pull this up for

01:22:29.600 you guys.

01:22:30.380 This is his actual

01:22:31.440 docket, okay,

01:22:32.600 on what he ended

01:22:33.720 up getting charged

01:22:34.340 with, as you guys

01:22:35.200 can see here.

01:22:36.140 On Pacer,

01:22:37.060 you know,

01:22:37.280 he was indicted

01:22:37.700 out of Eastern

01:22:38.260 District,

01:22:38.580 California,

01:22:39.180 Sacramento,

01:22:39.660 as we discussed

01:22:40.080 before,

01:22:40.440 why they picked

01:22:40.860 Sacramento,

01:22:41.680 because it's a

01:22:42.040 stronger venue.

01:22:42.940 He actually

01:22:43.340 represented himself

01:22:44.160 for a bit here,

01:22:44.960 guys.

01:22:45.140 As you can see

01:22:45.580 here.

01:22:45.840 And then he

01:22:46.120 had some

01:22:46.360 attorneys as

01:22:46.900 well.

01:22:48.520 And, you

01:22:50.060 know,

01:22:50.180 he got hit

01:22:50.520 with transportation

01:22:51.040 of explosive

01:22:51.720 with intent

01:22:52.140 to kill

01:22:52.400 or injure,

01:22:53.260 mailing an

01:22:53.560 explosive device

01:22:54.160 with intent

01:22:54.460 to kill

01:22:54.720 or injure,

01:22:55.360 use of a

01:22:55.700 destructive device

01:22:56.280 in relation

01:22:56.560 to a crime

01:22:56.980 of violence,

01:22:57.540 transportation

01:22:57.880 of explosive

01:22:58.480 with intent

01:22:59.640 to kill

01:23:00.220 or injure,

01:23:01.060 pled guilty,

01:23:01.880 right,

01:23:02.260 imprisonment

01:23:02.720 for life.

01:23:03.200 for life.

01:23:03.560 Okay.

01:23:04.840 And then here

01:23:05.720 are all

01:23:06.480 the,

01:23:07.080 let's see

01:23:08.520 here,

01:23:08.820 amicus,

01:23:09.340 amicus.

01:23:10.220 I think

01:23:10.740 these are

01:23:10.980 people that

01:23:11.360 were interested

01:23:11.820 in the case.

01:23:13.160 And then here's

01:23:13.860 the plaintiff

01:23:14.200 of the U.S.,

01:23:14.740 David Taylor

01:23:15.420 Shellady,

01:23:17.760 right,

01:23:17.960 out of Sacramento,

01:23:19.240 U.S.

01:23:19.480 Attorney's Office.

01:23:20.500 And here's the

01:23:21.040 indictment.

01:23:21.440 He was

01:23:21.520 indicted on

01:23:22.000 6-18-1996.

01:23:24.840 So that tells

01:23:25.340 me, guys,

01:23:25.700 remember,

01:23:25.940 they arrested

01:23:26.300 him in April,

01:23:26.780 so they probably

01:23:27.360 filed a criminal

01:23:27.980 complaint on

01:23:29.220 April 3rd

01:23:31.440 when they

01:23:31.800 arrested him

01:23:32.280 like the day

01:23:32.660 after to get

01:23:33.660 him in jail

01:23:34.140 and then they

01:23:34.860 went ahead

01:23:35.180 and indicted

01:23:35.640 him almost

01:23:37.420 two months

01:23:37.840 later.

01:23:39.220 And then the

01:23:39.860 arrest warrant

01:23:40.220 was issued,

01:23:41.040 but he had

01:23:41.540 already been

01:23:41.900 arrested,

01:23:42.320 obviously,

01:23:42.840 so they didn't

01:23:43.400 need to

01:23:43.680 actually execute

01:23:44.380 it.

01:23:44.820 That's why

01:23:45.120 you don't

01:23:45.340 see a thing

01:23:46.300 here entering.

01:23:48.820 And yeah,

01:23:49.520 man,

01:23:49.720 so this is

01:23:50.060 the case.

01:23:51.140 And he

01:23:52.140 ended up

01:23:52.360 getting life

01:23:52.820 and you guys

01:23:53.180 are probably

01:23:53.400 wondering,

01:23:53.740 where is Ted

01:23:54.340 Kaczynski

01:23:54.660 now?

01:23:55.000 Well,

01:23:55.180 guys,

01:23:55.860 he is alive

01:23:56.760 here.

01:23:57.980 He is,

01:23:58.680 okay,

01:23:58.960 here's his

01:23:59.320 register number

01:24:00.020 and he's

01:24:00.560 actually being

01:24:00.980 held right

01:24:01.380 now at

01:24:01.900 Butner

01:24:02.860 FMC,

01:24:04.260 which is

01:24:05.120 over here

01:24:06.120 in North

01:24:07.220 Carolina,

01:24:08.300 okay?

01:24:09.040 It's the,

01:24:11.380 let's see

01:24:13.300 here,

01:24:14.000 867 total

01:24:14.960 inmates.

01:24:16.240 It looks

01:24:16.800 like it's

01:24:17.180 an administrative

01:24:18.360 security federal

01:24:19.360 medical center.

01:24:20.180 Guys,

01:24:20.380 he's 80 years

01:24:21.020 old now,

01:24:21.500 so he's

01:24:21.760 probably,

01:24:22.420 you know,

01:24:23.520 of poor

01:24:23.960 health at

01:24:24.280 this point.

01:24:25.100 And he

01:24:25.820 was being

01:24:26.400 held at

01:24:27.040 the,

01:24:27.320 you know,

01:24:27.980 the Florence,

01:24:29.340 Colorado one

01:24:30.580 where he

01:24:31.320 was locked

01:24:31.700 up for

01:24:32.000 23 hours

01:24:32.760 a day,

01:24:33.580 one hour

01:24:34.120 of,

01:24:35.440 you know,

01:24:36.200 of exercise

01:24:37.800 slash recreation.

01:24:39.140 Let's see

01:24:39.520 here what

01:24:39.880 security level

01:24:40.540 this is.

01:24:41.400 FMC

01:24:42.000 Butner

01:24:43.900 security level.

01:24:46.380 Okay.

01:24:52.580 Okay.

01:24:55.040 Status

01:24:55.480 operational.

01:24:56.600 Okay.

01:24:56.980 So it

01:24:57.180 has all

01:24:57.760 security

01:24:58.060 levels.

01:24:59.300 Okay.

01:24:59.780 With

01:24:59.900 adjacent

01:25:00.220 camp for

01:25:00.640 minimum

01:25:00.860 security

01:25:01.300 inmates.

01:25:01.800 So.

01:25:05.480 Yeah.

01:25:05.960 So it's a

01:25:06.400 federal

01:25:06.580 medical

01:25:06.880 center.

01:25:07.960 Did it

01:25:08.520 we have

01:25:09.640 special

01:25:09.960 health

01:25:10.220 needs.

01:25:10.560 Okay.

01:25:11.000 So it's

01:25:11.540 for special

01:25:12.000 health needs

01:25:12.420 inmates.

01:25:14.300 It's a

01:25:14.780 division

01:25:15.000 United States

01:25:15.420 Department of

01:25:15.800 Justice.

01:25:16.160 We know

01:25:16.340 that it's

01:25:16.820 located in

01:25:17.180 Durham County,

01:25:17.640 North Carolina.

01:25:19.820 And let's

01:25:21.260 see here.

01:25:22.620 Notable

01:25:23.040 inmates.

01:25:23.560 Okay.

01:25:23.720 So here's

01:25:24.140 some of the

01:25:24.420 inmates that

01:25:24.940 are here

01:25:25.460 being housed.

01:25:26.880 They even

01:25:27.500 have him

01:25:28.820 in here.

01:25:29.700 Probably not.

01:25:30.440 Oh,

01:25:32.520 Kaczynski's in

01:25:33.040 there.

01:25:34.960 in 1998

01:25:35.700 to building

01:25:36.700 transporting.

01:25:38.020 So yeah,

01:25:38.560 he probably

01:25:38.880 has some

01:25:39.240 kind of

01:25:39.640 health need.

01:25:40.880 But these

01:25:41.360 are who's

01:25:41.740 there that's

01:25:42.200 still alive.

01:25:44.880 But no,

01:25:45.600 very interesting

01:25:46.080 stuff,

01:25:46.500 man.

01:25:46.940 Oh,

01:25:47.320 Joe Exotic's

01:25:47.900 in here as

01:25:48.240 well.

01:25:48.920 Serving a

01:25:49.340 21-year

01:25:49.780 Senate

01:25:50.000 scheduled for

01:25:50.460 release in

01:25:50.800 2036.

01:25:51.940 Convicted

01:25:52.160 2019 of

01:25:52.800 animal abuse,

01:25:53.460 a violation

01:25:53.860 of the

01:25:54.100 Lacey Act

01:25:54.760 and nine

01:25:55.580 of the

01:25:56.100 Endangered

01:25:56.480 Species Act

01:25:56.980 and two

01:25:58.340 hire.

01:25:58.920 Yeah,

01:25:59.100 I will cover

01:25:59.640 Joe Exotic

01:26:00.180 guys as

01:26:00.720 well.

01:26:01.040 Don't worry,

01:26:01.480 you guys

01:26:01.720 have asked

01:26:02.000 for him

01:26:02.240 for a

01:26:02.500 while,

01:26:03.080 so I

01:26:03.380 will cover

01:26:03.700 him as

01:26:04.080 well.

01:26:04.700 Okay,

01:26:04.900 I'll cover

01:26:05.240 him and

01:26:05.820 Michael Vick

01:26:06.700 because those

01:26:07.200 are some

01:26:07.540 fairly unique

01:26:08.100 cases.

01:26:08.520 It's not

01:26:08.660 often that

01:26:09.520 you get

01:26:09.800 hit with

01:26:10.600 animal

01:26:11.880 mistreatment

01:26:13.560 type

01:26:13.840 investigations.

01:26:15.460 So very

01:26:16.280 interesting

01:26:16.640 stuff.

01:26:17.540 But anyway,

01:26:18.060 guys,

01:26:18.700 hope you guys

01:26:19.140 enjoyed that,

01:26:19.700 man.

01:26:20.320 That was

01:26:20.960 the Unabomber

01:26:21.700 case.

01:26:22.140 Again,

01:26:22.440 one of the

01:26:22.860 biggest

01:26:23.260 FBI

01:26:24.300 investigations

01:26:24.900 to date,

01:26:25.480 the most

01:26:25.720 expensive and

01:26:26.380 most extensive

01:26:27.020 and longest

01:26:27.700 FBI

01:26:28.500 investigation.

01:26:29.060 He almost

01:26:30.120 evaded the

01:26:30.620 authorities for

01:26:31.140 20 years.

01:26:31.640 Had it not

01:26:32.040 been for his

01:26:32.440 manifesto and

01:26:33.060 writing in a

01:26:33.500 very particular

01:26:34.000 way and his

01:26:34.980 brother coming to

01:26:35.580 the authorities,

01:26:36.120 they probably

01:26:36.580 would have never

01:26:37.280 caught him,

01:26:38.300 guys.

01:26:39.360 But other

01:26:39.640 than that,

01:26:39.860 man,

01:26:40.320 I love y'all.

01:26:40.900 Hope you guys

01:26:41.240 enjoyed the

01:26:41.660 show.

01:26:42.560 And hey,

01:27:04.640 Investigations.

01:27:05.180 OK, guys, HSI.

01:27:06.540 The cases that I

01:27:07.180 did mostly were

01:27:07.920 human smuggling

01:27:08.960 and drug

01:27:10.440 trafficking.

01:27:11.720 No one else has

01:27:12.700 these documents,

01:27:13.560 by the way.

01:27:13.940 Here's what

01:27:14.440 fed it covered.

01:27:18.440 due to stepping

01:27:20.020 on glass.

01:27:21.840 Murder

01:27:22.160 investigations.

01:27:22.880 You see him

01:27:23.060 reaching in his

01:27:23.580 jacket.

01:27:23.960 You don't know

01:27:24.480 and he's positioning

01:27:25.740 on February 13,

01:27:26.800 2019.
