He was charged for coming numerous crimes, largely bombings from 1978 to 1995. At the peak of his bad deeds, he killed three people and injured 23 more during a mass mail-bombing spree.
In 1996, he was sentenced to life without parole after evading capture for almost 20 years. His brother, David received a $1 million reward from the FBI for assisting with his capture in 1996. The reward was funded by a Congressional appropriation for the Justice Department.
Kaczynski terrorized the United States for years and became the focus of the FBI. At some point, he was on the top list of the FBI’s most wanted and was considered the person who made the Bureau spend their most expensive budget on a criminal.

He spent the past thirty years in numerous prisons across the United States – and recently spent his last days at a North Carolina prison medical facility. He was held at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, since May 1998.

Kaczynski’s crimes came to light after it was uncovered that he forced Washington Post and the New York Times to push his violent manifesto dubbed Industrial Society and Its Future in September 1995.
They only agreed to publish the manifesto on the condition that Kaczynski would end his campaign if a national paper published it. They were advised by the FBI and US Attorney General to do so. It was a 35,000-word anonymized document railed against modern life, and claimed that technology was leading to Americans suffering from a sense of alienation and powerlessness.
He conducted his first attacks in the late ’70s. It targeted Northwestern University in Illinois. The two bombings occurred on May 25, 1978, and May 9, 1979, and left two people injured. In November 1979, an altitude-triggered bomb he mailed went off aboard an American Airlines Flight. Twelve people suffered from smoke inhalation.
