Notorious, vengeful, reclusive 'Unabomber' Theodore (Ted) Kaczynski dead at 81
Ted Kaczynski, known as the 'Unabomber,' is flanked by federal agents as he is led to a car from the federal courthouse in Helena, Mont., on April 4, 1996. Kaczynski has died in a federal prison medical centre, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons said on Saturday.
Before his transfer to the prison medical facility, Kaczynski had been imprisoned at the so-called supermax federal prison in Florence, Colo. Calling the industrial revolution "a disaster for the human race," the author said in his manifesto that "in order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we've had to kill people," falsely implying he was part of a group.
David Kaczynski, who also saw the similarities in writing but couldn't fathom his anti-social brother would be violent, reached out to a private detective. That detective summoned a series of experts, who compared the various writing samples and thought there was a probability the author was a strong suspect.The FBI were ultimately contacted, and on April 3, 1996, outside Lincoln, Mont.
Decades later, it was learned, Kaczynski was a three-year participant in a Harvard psychology research project that measured stress by a process of continually belittling subjects over their beliefs and writings.
