Misunderstood Genius or Incel Terrorist - Ted Kaczynski aka The Unabomber ~ Mystery Docket

What happens when you combine a brilliant mind with an insufferable ego, deep social isolation, and a warped anti-modernist ideology? In the case of Ted Kaczynski, you get almost two decades of crude, handmade bombs sent through the mail, targeting universities, airlines, and individuals he believed were destroying society. Join Tim and Derek as they break down the tragic path that led Kaczynski from child prodigy to domestic terrorist, whose nearly two-decade-long bombing campaign resulted in 16 attacks, 3 deaths, and 23 people injured.
