62. Unabomber 2: A mastermind with a lack of insight?
After six years of inactivity, the Unabomber is back. A family member makes a damming discovery.
After six years of inactivity, the Unabomber is back. The FBI reinvigorate the investigation and the chase begins once more.
When Ted Kaczynski鈥檚 brother, David, finds an earlier version of the Unabomber鈥檚 Manifesto among a series of letters from Ted to their mother, he calls the FBI.
In this episode of Bad People, Dr Julia Shaw and comedian Sofie Hagen discuss Kaczynski鈥檚 childhood, dubious psychological testing at Harvard University and challenge the media narrative that he was some sort of 鈥榗riminal mastermind鈥�. In court, Kaczynski鈥檚 lawyers wanted to plead insanity, but that proved difficult.
Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and terrorism.
