\textbf{Theodore John Kaczynski} (\emph{kə-ZIN-skee}; born May 22, 1942), also known as the \textbf{Unabomber}, is an American \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic\_terrorism}{domestic terrorist} and former \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics\_education}{mathematics professor}.\footnote{Mahan \& Griset (2008), p. 132.}\footnote{Haberfeld \& von Hassell (2009), p. 40.} Between 1978 and 1995, Kaczynski killed three people and injured 23 others in a nationwide \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail\_bomb}{mail bombing} campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the environment. He authored \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial\_Society\_and\_Its\_Future}{Industrial Society and Its Future}}, a 35,000-word \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifesto}{manifesto} and \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social\_criticism}{social critique} opposing \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrialization}{industrialization}, rejecting \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leftism}{leftism}, and advocating for a nature-centered form of \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism}{anarchism}.\footnote{Gautney (2010), p. 199.}


In 1971, Kaczynski abandoned his academic career to pursue a \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple\_living}{primitive life}, moving to a remote cabin without \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains\_electricity}{electricity} or \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap\_water}{running water} near \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln\%2C\_Montana}{Lincoln, Montana}, where he lived as a recluse while learning \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival\_skills}{survival skills} to become \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sustainability}{self-sufficient}. After witnessing the destruction of the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilderness}{wilderness} surrounding his cabin, he concluded that living in nature was becoming impossible and resolved to fight industrialization and its destruction of nature through terrorism. In 1979, Kaczynski became the subject of what was, by the time of his arrest, the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal\_Bureau\_of\_Investigation}{Federal Bureau of Investigation} (FBI).\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-Howlett96\_6-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-Howlett96\_6-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} Howlett1996 - Howlett, Debbie (November 13, 1996). \href{https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/index/una12.htm}{"FBI Profile: Suspect is educated and isolated"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA\_Today}{USA Today}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20160602125224/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/index/una12.htm}{Archived} from the original on June 2, 2016. Retrieved July 13, 2017. <q>The 17-year search for the bomber has been the longest and costliest investigation in FBI history.<\Slash{}q>} The FBI used the case identifier \textbf{UNABOM} (University and Airline Bomber) before his identity was known, resulting in the media naming him the "Unabomber".


In 1995, Kaczynski sent a letter to \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}} promising to "desist from terrorism" if the \emph{Times} or \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Washington\_Post}{The Washington Post}} published his manifesto, in which he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary in attracting attention to the erosion of human freedom and dignity by modern technologies that require \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass\_movement\_\%28politics\%29}{mass organization}.\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-desist\_7-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-desist\_7-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/26/us/bombing-sacramento-letter-excerpts-letter-terrorist-group-fc-which-says-it-sent.html}{"Excerpts From Letter by 'Terrorist Group', FC, Which Says It Sent Bombs"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}.

Upon reading it, Kaczynski's brother, \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David\_Kaczynski}{David}, recognized the prose style and reported his suspicions to the FBI. Kaczynski was arrested in 1996, and—maintaining that he was sane—tried and failed to dismiss his \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public\_defender\_\%28United\_States\%29}{court-appointed lawyers} because they wanted him to \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insanity\_defense}{plead insanity} to avoid the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death\_penalty}{death penalty}. He pleaded guilty to all charges in 1998 and was sentenced to eight consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole.

\section{Childhood}


Theodore John Kaczynski was born in \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago}{Chicago} on May 22, 1942, to working-class parents Wanda Theresa (\emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N\%C3\%A9e}{née}} Dombek) and Theodore Richard Kaczynski, a sausage maker.\footnote{\href{https://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-080302ted-photogallery-photogallery.html}{"The Unabomber's family photo album"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago\_Tribune}{Chicago Tribune}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20190421174901/https://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-080302ted-photogallery-photogallery.html}{Archived} from the original on April 21, 2019.

From first to fourth grade (ages six to nine), Kaczynski attended Sherman Elementary School in Chicago, where administrators described him as healthy and well-adjusted.\footnote{Chase (2004), p. 161.} In 1952, three years after David was born, the family moved to suburban \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen\_Park\%2C\_Illinois}{Evergreen Park}, Illinois; Ted transferred to Evergreen Park Central Junior High School. After testing scored his \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence\_quotient}{IQ} at 167,\footnote{\href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170817162052/http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-ted\_add009t20080226125454-photo.html}{"The Kaczynski brothers and neighbors"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago\_Tribune}{Chicago Tribune}}.

Retrieved February 23, 2021.} he \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade\_skipping}{skipped} the sixth grade. Kaczynski later described this as a pivotal event: previously he had socialized with his peers and was even a leader, but after skipping ahead of them he felt he did not fit in with the older children, who bullied him.\footnote{Chase (2004), pp. 107–108.}


Neighbors in Evergreen Park later described the Kaczynski family as "civic-minded folks", one recalling the parents "sacrificed everything they had for their children".\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-2}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{c}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-3}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{d}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-4}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{e}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-5}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{f}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-6}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{g}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-7}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{h}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-8}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{i}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-9}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{j}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-rage\_9-10}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{k}}}} McFadden,\_Robert\_D.1996 - \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert\_D.\_McFadden}{McFadden, Robert D.} (May 26, 1996). \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/26/us/prisoner-of-rage-a-special-report-from-a-child-of-promise-to-the-unabom-suspect.html}{"Prisoner of Rage – A special report.; From a Child of Promise to the Unabom Suspect"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170809214216/http://www.nytimes.com/1996/05/26/us/prisoner-of-rage-a-special-report-from-a-child-of-promise-to-the-unabom-suspect.html}{Archived} from the original on August 9, 2017.} Both Ted and David were intelligent, but Ted exceptionally so.

\subsection{\textbf{Psychological study}}


In his second year at Harvard, Kaczynski participated in a study described by author Alston Chase as a "purposely brutalizing psychological experiment" led by Harvard psychologist \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry\_Murray}{Henry Murray}. Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations. The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called "vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition.\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-making\_21-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-making\_21-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-making\_21-2}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{c}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-making\_21-3}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{d}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-making\_21-4}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{e}}}} Alston2000 - Alston, Chase (June 2000). \href{http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2000/06/harvard-and-the-making-of-the-unabomber/378239/?single\_page=true}{"Harvard and the Making of the Unabomber"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Atlantic\_Monthly}{The Atlantic Monthly}}.

Kaczynski's original goal was to become self-sufficient so he could live autonomously. He used an old bicycle to get to town, and a volunteer at the local library said he visited frequently to read classic works in their original languages.

It's kind of rolling country, not flat, and when you get to the edge of it you find these \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravines}{ravines} that cut very steeply in to cliff-like drop-offs and there was even a waterfall there. It was about a two days' hike from my cabin. That was the best spot until the summer of 1983. That summer there were too many people around my cabin so I decided I needed some peace. I went back to the plateau and when I got there I found they had put a road right through the middle of it \dots{} You just can't imagine how upset I was. It was from that point on I decided that, rather than trying to acquire further wilderness skills, I would work on getting back at the system. Revenge.

Kaczynski left false clues in most bombs, which he intentionally made hard to find to make them appear more legitimate. Clues included metal plates stamped with the initials "FC" hidden somewhere (usually in the pipe end cap) in bombs, a note left in a bomb that did not detonate reading "Wu—It works!

Kaczynski argues that the erosion of human freedom is a natural product of an industrial society because "the system has to regulate human behavior closely in order to function", and that reform of the system is impossible as drastic changes to it would not be implemented because of their disruption of the system.\footnote{Fleming2021" class="citation journal cs1][Fleming, Sean (May 7, 2021). \href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{"The Unabomber and the origins of anti-tech radicalism"}. \emph{Journal of Political Ideologies}. \textbf{27} (2): 207–225. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi\_\%28identifier\%29}{doi}:\href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{10.1080\Slash{}13569317.2021.1921940}. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISSN\_\%28identifier\%29}{ISSN} \href{https://www.worldcat.org/issn/1356-9317}{1356-9317}.} He states that the system has not yet fully achieved control over all human behavior and is in the midst of a struggle to gain that control. Kaczynski predicts that the system will break down if it cannot achieve significant control, and that it is likely this issue will be decided within the next 40 to 100 years.\footnote{Fleming2021" class="citation journal cs1][Fleming, Sean (May 7, 2021). \href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{"The Unabomber and the origins of anti-tech radicalism"}. \emph{Journal of Political Ideologies}. \textbf{27} (2): 207–225. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi\_\%28identifier\%29}{doi}:\href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{10.1080\Slash{}13569317.2021.1921940}. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISSN\_\%28identifier\%29}{ISSN} \href{https://www.worldcat.org/issn/1356-9317}{1356-9317}.} He states that the task of those who oppose industrial society is to promote stress within and upon the society and to propagate an anti-technology ideology, one that offers the "counter-ideal" of nature. Kaczynski goes on to say that a revolution will be possible only when industrial society is sufficiently unstable.\footnote{Fleming2021" class="citation journal cs1][Fleming, Sean (May 7, 2021). \href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{"The Unabomber and the origins of anti-tech radicalism"}. \emph{Journal of Political Ideologies}. \textbf{27} (2): 207–225. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi\_\%28identifier\%29}{doi}:\href{https://doi.org/10.1080\%2F13569317.2021.1921940}{10.1080\Slash{}13569317.2021.1921940}. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISSN\_\%28identifier\%29}{ISSN} \href{https://www.worldcat.org/issn/1356-9317}{1356-9317}.}

Investigators later learned that the victims were chosen indiscriminately from library research.\footnote{Graysmith (1998), p. 74.}


In 1980, chief agent \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_E.\_Douglas}{John Douglas}, working with agents in the FBI's \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral\_Analysis\_Unit}{Behavioral Sciences Unit}, issued a psychological \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal\_profiler}{profile} of the unidentified bomber. It described the offender as a man with above-average intelligence and connections to \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academia}{academia}. This profile was later refined to characterize the offender as a \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Luddite}{neo-Luddite} holding an academic degree in the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard\_sciences}{hard sciences}, but this psychologically based profile was discarded in 1983. FBI analysts developed an alternative theory that concentrated on the physical evidence in recovered bomb fragments. In this rival profile, the suspect was characterized as a \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-collar}{blue-collar} airplane mechanic.\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-:0\_93-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-:0\_93-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-:0\_93-2}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{c}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-:0\_93-3}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{d}}}} Taylor1998 - Taylor, Michael (May 5, 1998). \href{https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/New-Details-Of-Stakeout-In-Montana-3006937.php}{"New Details Of Stakeout in Montana"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San\_Francisco\_Chronicle}{San Francisco Chronicle}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20180914203452/https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/New-Details-Of-Stakeout-In-Montana-3006937.php}{Archived} from the original on September 14, 2018.} The UNABOMB Task Force set up a \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-800}{toll-free telephone} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotline}{hotline} to take calls related to the investigation, with a \$1 million reward for anyone who could provide information leading to the Unabomber's capture.\footnote{\href{https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/unabomber}{"Unabomber"}. \emph{Federal Bureau of Investigation}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20210221210113/https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/unabomber}{Archived} from the original on February 21, 2021.

Before the publication of \emph{Industrial Society and Its Future}, Kaczynski's brother, David, was encouraged by his wife to follow up on suspicions that Ted was the Unabomber.\footnote{Franks,\_Lucinda1996" class="citation magazine cs1][Franks, Lucinda (July 22, 1996). \href{https://www.newyorker.com/archive/1996/07/22/1996\_07\_22\_026\_TNY\_CARDS\_000375118}{"Don't Shoot"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_Yorker}{The New Yorker}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20081226231551/http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1996/07/22/1996\_07\_22\_026\_TNY\_CARDS\_000375118}{Archived} from the original on December 26, 2008.} David was dismissive at first, but he took the likelihood more seriously after reading the manifesto a week after it was published in September 1995. He searched through old family papers and found letters dating to the 1970s that Ted had sent to newspapers to protest the abuses of technology using phrasing similar to that in the manifesto.\footnote{Labaton,\_Stephen1993 - Labaton, Stephen (October 7, 1993). \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/07/us/clue-and-1-million-reward-in-case-of-the-serial-bomber.html}{"Clue and \$1 million Reward in Case of the Serial Bomber"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170819150007/http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/07/us/clue-and-1-million-reward-in-case-of-the-serial-bomber.html}{Archived} from the original on August 19, 2017.}


Before the manifesto's publication, the FBI held many press conferences asking the public to help identify the Unabomber. They were convinced that the bomber was from the Chicago area where he began his bombings, had worked in or had some connection to Salt Lake City, and by the 1990s had some association with the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San\_Francisco\_Bay\_Area}{San Francisco Bay Area}.

\section{After publication}


After the manifesto was published, the FBI received thousands of leads in response to its offer of a reward for information leading to the identification of the Unabomber.\footnote{Johnston,\_David1996 - Johnston, David (April 5, 1996). \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/05/us/suspect-s-trail-investigation-long-twisting-trail-led-unabom-suspect-s-arrest.html}{"On the Suspect's Trail: the Investigation; Long and Twisting Trail Led To Unabom Suspect's Arrest"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170810092553/http://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/05/us/suspect-s-trail-investigation-long-twisting-trail-led-unabom-suspect-s-arrest.html}{Archived} from the original on August 10, 2017.} While the FBI reviewed new leads, Kaczynski's brother David hired \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private\_investigator}{private investigator} Susan Swanson in Chicago to investigate Ted's activities discreetly.\footnote{Perez-Pena,\_Richard1996 - Perez-Pena, Richard (April 7, 1996). \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/07/us/tapestry-of-links-in-the-unabom-inquiry.html}{"Tapestry of Links in the Unabom Inquiry"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170810092748/http://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/07/us/tapestry-of-links-in-the-unabom-inquiry.html}{Archived} from the original on August 10, 2017.} David later hired Washington, D.C. attorney Tony Bisceglie to organize the evidence acquired by Swanson and contact the FBI, given the presumed difficulty of attracting the FBI's attention.

In early 1996, an investigator working with Bisceglie contacted former FBI hostage negotiator and criminal profiler Clinton R. Van Zandt. Bisceglie asked him to compare the manifesto to typewritten copies of handwritten letters David had received from his brother. Van Zandt's initial analysis determined that there was better than a 60 percent chance that the same person had written the manifesto, which had been in public circulation for half a year. Van Zandt's second analytical team determined a higher likelihood. He recommended Bisceglie's client contact the FBI immediately.\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-specialreport\_100-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-specialreport\_100-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} Claiborne,\_William1998 - Claiborne, William (August 21, 1998). \href{https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/trialstory.htm}{"FBI Gives Reward to Unabomber's Brother"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Washington\_Post}{The Washington Post}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20110504021134/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/longterm/unabomber/trialstory.htm}{Archived} from the original on May 4, 2011.}

\section{Arrest}


FBI agents arrested an unkempt Kaczynski at his cabin on April 3, 1996. A search revealed a cache of bomb components, 40,000 hand-written journal pages that included bomb-making experiments, descriptions of the Unabomber crimes and one live bomb. They also found what appeared to be the original typed manuscript of \emph{Industrial Society and Its Future}.\footnote{Johnston,\_David1998 - Johnston, David (May 5, 1998). \href{https://www.nytimes.com/1998/05/05/us/17-year-search-an-emotional-discovery-and-terror-ends.html}{"17-Year Search, an Emotional Discovery and Terror Ends"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_New\_York\_Times}{The New York Times}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20170819190143/http://www.nytimes.com/1998/05/05/us/17-year-search-an-emotional-discovery-and-terror-ends.html}{Archived} from the original on August 19, 2017.} By this point, the Unabomber had been the target of the most expensive investigation in FBI history at the time.\footnote{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-Howlett96\_6-0}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{a}}}} \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted\_Kaczynski\#cite\_ref-Howlett96\_6-1}{\textsuperscript{\emph{\textbf{b}}}} Howlett1996 - Howlett, Debbie (November 13, 1996). \href{https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/index/una12.htm}{"FBI Profile: Suspect is educated and isolated"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA\_Today}{USA Today}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20160602125224/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/index/una12.htm}{Archived} from the original on June 2, 2016.

After his capture, theories emerged naming Kaczynski as the \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac\_Killer}{Zodiac Killer}, who murdered five people in \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern\_California}{Northern California} from 1968 to 1969. Among the links that raised suspicion was that Kaczynski lived in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1967 to 1969 (the same period that most of the Zodiac's confirmed killings occurred in California), that both individuals were highly intelligent with an interest in bombs and codes, and that both wrote letters to newspapers demanding the publication of their works with the threat of continued violence if the demand was not met. Yet Kaczynski's whereabouts could not be verified for all of the killings. Since the gun and knife murders committed by the Zodiac Killer differed from Kaczynski's bombings, authorities did not pursue him as a suspect. Robert Graysmith, author of the 1986 book \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac\_\%28true\_crime\_book\%29}{Zodiac}}, said the similarities are "fascinating" but purely coincidental.\footnote{\href{https://web.archive.org/web/20060618112917/http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1997/unabomb}{"The Unabomb Trial"}. \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN}{CNN}. 1997. Archived from \href{http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1997/unabomb}{the original} on June 18, 2006.}


The early hunt for the Unabomber portrayed a perpetrator far different from the eventual suspect. Kaczynski consistently uses "we" and "our" throughout \emph{Industrial Society and Its Future}. At one point in 1993 investigators sought an individual whose first name was "Nathan" because the name was imprinted on the envelope of a letter sent to the media.\footnote{MarxMartin1996 - Marx, Gary; Martin, Andrew (April 5, 1996). \href{https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1996-04-05-9604050280-story.html}{"Survivors See Little Sense Behind the Terror"}. \emph{\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago\_Tribune}{Chicago Tribune}}. \href{https://web.archive.org/web/20200128051758/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1996-04-05-9604050280-story.html}{Archived} from the original on January 28, 2020.
