Unabomber Detailed Charges and Incident Reports

Not so!

On October 8, 1981, a UNABOM device was planted within Milton Bennion Hall (then the Business Building) at the University of Utah. Frequently, reports within the news media state that the bomb was placed in a classroom at the University of Utah and that it was discovered by a maintenance person. That's not so. The facts are as follows:

Begin (Bennion)

On October 8, 1981, at approximately 11:00 AM Salt Lake City, Utah, time, a suspicious package approximately the size of a shoe box was discovered in the third floor hallway of Milton Bennion Hall by Paul Larson, then a graduate student at the University of Utah. Mr. Larson immediately called the campus police. Shortly thereafter, Bennion Hall was evacuated and explosive experts from the US Army's 62nd Ordinance Detachment, located at nearby Fort Douglas, were called in. The Explosive Ordinance Demolition (EOD) team discovered that the suspicious package, which was covered with brown paper affixed with masking tape, was a bomb having as its purpose the triggering of a powerful gasoline fireball.

The EOD exploded the device within Milton Bennion Hall in two cycles, one at 11:35 AM and the second at 12:40 PM. Investigators at the scene determined that the bomb consisted of a pipe charged with gunpowder, several "D-cell" batteries, one gallon of gasoline, glass tubes, and a wooden box within which the components were contained.

Although planted in the third floor hallway, the bomb was situated in close proximity to a large classroom that was filled with students. It is most likely that the individual (or individuals) who planted the bomb had anticipated that as the numerous students left the classroom at the end of the class, one of them would pick up the bomb (it was triggered to explode when it was picked up), likely injuring or killing numerous individuals as they were consumed by the gasoline fireball and/or the bomb's schrapnel end-products (nails, screws, and glass).

The October 8, 1981, UNABOM incident in UTAH has not been afforded much attention. However, it is perhaps the most revealing act of the UNABOM UNSUB (UNidentified SUBject). An attack directed at university students strongly suggestes that the UNSUB was targeted by university or college students (perhaps via poor student evaluations in the event the UNSUB was a former or current professor). And the glass tubes found within the wooden box - what a clue they held!

Purpose of this page

The Unabomber crimes have attracted considerable national and international attention. A search of the World Wide Web using an efficient search engine and the keyword "UNABOM" or "UNABOMBER" will afford a vast array of information sources relating to this topic.

This page brings to the reader new information about the Unabomber crimes from "the other side" - that is from within the community of criminal investigators.

There are two important dates associated with the Unabomber crimes, these being May 25, 1978 (the date the first Unabomber device surfaced) and April 3, 1996 (the date Theodore John Kaczynski was arrested for possession of bomb making components). Whether or not Theodore John Kaczynski is the Unabomber will be determined by a United States District Court jury. A trial involving some of the UNABOM Incidents is scheduled to begin in The United States District Court for The Eastern District of California on November 12, 1997.

Special Note: The sketch shown above is the first composite of the UNABOM subject (UBS) ever produced. The composite was prepared within hours after the UBS was observed in the rear of CAAMS, Inc., in Salt Lake City, Utah, in February 1987.

FC speaks in June 1995

"For primitive societies the natural world (which usually changes only slowly) provided a stable framework and therefore a sense of security. In the modern world it is human society that dominates nature rather than the other way around, and modern society changes very rapidly owing to technological change." -FC-

A Time for Harvest

The Internet: Millions upon millions of users, with the number of users doubling each year. Many of these users, however, have criminal intentions - for example those who focus on bombs. And perhaps Unabomber was an Internet user!

Like a motorist speeding at 100 miles-per-hour in a 30 miles-per- hour zone would attract attention, so do some users of the Internet attract attention. In essence, these users deserve a "second look." Such a user was identified in early 1995, was ruled out as the Unabomber subject, but was not forgotten (see below).

April 19, 1995, 9:02 AM Oklahoma City time: A powerful truck bomb destroys the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 men, women, and children, and injuring some 500 people.

April 21, 1995, mid-afternoon, Eastern time: The inbound message traffic was both convincing and confusing. An individual having the last name of McVeigh and a first name of either Thomas or Timothy had been taken into custody in connection with the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. It was, indeed, A Time for Harvest, with the following Screen Name information captured from America OnLine (R).
