Unabomber Ted Kaczynski hanged himself in prison: 911 call
He had served only 25 years of his more than four-life terms sentence after he was turned in by his brother, David, who realized that his sibling was the elusive “Unabomber” after Kaczynski’s manifesto was published.Kaczynski had attempted to hang himself before, using his own underwear, before going to trial in 1998.He is believed to have set off his first homemade explosive at a Chicago university in 1978, and he ultimately confessed to carrying out 16 bombings between 1978 and 1995.
After receiving the tip from his brother, police captured Kaczynski at his small plywood and tarpaper cabin in the woods outside Lincoln, Montana. The tiny home, smaller than the jail cell where he lived his final years, contained explosives, two finished bombs and a coded diary. Kaczynski had been placed in the FMC Butner prison in 2021 after he was diagnosed with late-stage cancer.Police were able to nab Kaczynski after his brother recognized his handwriting from the infamous “Unabomber Manifesto.”Despite his nearly two-decade reign of terror in the US, technophobes have embraced his anti-technology manifesto, with some dubbing him “Uncle Ted,” a phrase which trended on Twitter following his death.
Tech boss Elon Musk was among those tweeting about Kaczynski, claiming the killer “might not be wrong” about his belief technology is detrimental to society.
