Kaczynski terrorized the US beginning in 1978 with a mail bombing spree that that killed 3 people and injured 23 others. He was arrested in 1996 and ultimately Kaczynski pleaded guilty to setting 16 bombs and was sentenced to life in prison, and courts authorized auctions to help settle $15 million worth of restitution.
Kaczynski has been in the news lately because the FBI recently asked for his DNA as part of its ongoing investigation into the unsolved 1982 Tylenol murders.
