The Unabomber was one of the most notorious and longest lasting cases in the history of the FBI. Just because the manifesto reads like he was a fortune teller doesn't make his actions any less deplorable. Learn all about this fascinating case in today's episode.

AI Summary

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating and disturbing story of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, who carried out a 17-year bombing campaign that killed three people and wounded many others. They explore his brilliant academic background, his anti-technology manifesto, and the painstaking FBI investigation that finally led to his capture in a remote Montana cabin.
