Ted Kaczynski

Ted Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, was arrested in April of 1996 after a 17-year manhunt. He pleaded guilty in 1998 to the nationwide bomb spree that lasted 17 years and resulted in three deaths and 23 injuries, and is now serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison in Colorado.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20024691-504083.html

Born on May 22, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois, Ted Kaczynski graduated with a degree in mathematics from Harvard University and went on to receive his masters and PhD from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. In 1967 he was hired at the University of California, Berkeley, as an assistant professor of mathematics, but resigned in 1969 following poor reviews from students.http://www.freeinfosociety.com/article.php?id=232 In 1971, Kaczynski retired to a remote plot of land in the Montana wilderness that had no electricity or running water. It was here that Kaczynski formulated his bombing plans.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1336159/Unabomber-Ted-Kaczynskis-land-Montana-wilderness-cost-45-000.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

In December of 2010, the Western Montana land formerly owned by unabomber Ted Kaczynski was put back on the market for $69, 500. The 1.4 acre land parcel was previously listed at $154, 500, and does not have running water or electricity. The cabin where Kaczynski was initially captured is no longer on the property, but housed in the Newseum, which is located in Washington, DC.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20024691-504083.html

As a child, Kaczynski scored 170 on an IQ test. He skipped two grades in high school, graduating at 16 and was immediately accepted into Harvard. After two years of teaching in California, he moved to the wilderness of Montana and began to live "off the grid." His younger brother David joined him for a short time, but then returned to the city life and modern living.http://www.freeinfosociety.com/article.php?id=232

While in Montana, he wrote his manifesto. In it, he foretold of the dangers of technology and the death of a lifestyle that he felt was the correct way of life. He began his bombings in 1978 with a bomb placed at Northwestern University and would continue until his brother alerted authorities to his identity.http://www.anus.com/zine/db/unabomber/ http://www.freeinfosociety.com/article.php?id=232
