Theodore Kaczynski, the infamous "Unabomber," is arrested at his Montana cabin on April 3, 1996. At the cabin they found, many bomb components; 40,000 handwritten journal pages that included bomb-making experiments and descriptions of Unabomber crimes; and one live bomb, ready for mailing. The FBI had spent nearly two decades hunting him down.
Kaczynski pleaded guilty in 1998 and he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms plus 30 years without the possibility of parole. He had killed 3 people and injured more than 20 with explosives sent through the U.S. postal system between 1978 and 1995. He died by suicide on June 10, 2023, at age 81. More
