Ted Kaczynski Part 2

In Part 2 of our two-part Unabomber series, we continue the story of Ted Kaczynski — the man who terrorized the United States for nearly two decades with a bombing campaign that killed three people and injured 23 more. From the first bomb at Northwestern University in 1978 to the final fatal attacks in 1995, we walk through every device, every victim, and every mystery that made this one of the longest-running domestic terror investigations in U.S. history. Listen as we uncover the turning point that finally broke the case: a 35,000-word manifesto published in the Washington Post, and the brother who recognized his own sibling’s writing style. We detail Ted’s arrest at his isolated Montana cabin in 1996, his refusal to confess despite overwhelming evidence, his life sentence at ADX Florence (“Bombers Row”), and his death in 2023 at age 81.
