Ted Kaczynski is in a maximum security prison in Colorado serving a life sentence for a nationwide bombing spree that killed 3 people and injured 23 between 1978 and 1995. He was labeled the Unabomber for targeting University scholars and airlines sending 16 mail bombs. Kacyznski was a child prodigy, University professor and a Harvard-trained mathematician who went on to lead the FBI in one of the most expensive man hunts of all-time until being captured in April of 1996 at his cabin after a tip-off from his brother.
Kaczynski moved to a remote cabin and 1.4 acre heavily forested parcel of land in Lincoln, Montana in 1971 where he worked to teach himself survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient. His bombing spree seems to have stemmed from his anger at the wilderness surrounding his remote cabin becoming developed. His bombs were intended to raise awareness of the destruction created by modern technology.
Today his secluded patch of land in Montana with no electricity or running water is up for sale. The cabin is not included in the listing as it is currently on display at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. John Pistelak Realty of Lincoln, Montana has listed the Unabomber’s previous property at $69,500 down from a listing price of $154,500. The listing offers potential buyers an opportunity to own a part of “infamous U.S. history,” (AP news). The listing site shows the location as being heavily wooded, secluded and surrounded by chain link fences topped with barbed wire. It is unclear who currently owns the property.
