A structure identified by the FBI as a firewood shed, but often referred to as a root cellar, is shown in this 1996 evidence photo. The structure was still standing as of 2016, but is surrounded by a barbed wire fence and has a no trespassing sign attached to it.
Theodore John Kaczynski; May 22, 1942 – June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber , was an American mathematician and domestic was a mathematics prodigy, but abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle. Kaczynski murdered three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995 in a nationwide mail bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. He authored Industrial Society and Its Future, a 35,000-word manifesto and social critique which opposes all forms of technology, rejecting leftism, and advocating a nature-centered form of anarchism. In 1971, Kaczynski moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water near Lincoln, Montana, where he lived as a recluse while learning survival skills to become self-sufficient. After witnessing the destruction of the 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 in 1996, the longest and most expensive investigation in the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI used the case identifier 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 The New York Times promising to "desist from terrorism" if the Times or 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. The FBI and Attorney General Janet Reno pushed for the publication of the essay, which appeared in The Washington Post in September 1995.
