Austin Unibomber sends package through fedex, explodes at facility

bimmer456 · 03-20-2018, 02:03 PM

This may be his undoing. They can track the unexplored 2nd package to its origin and see if there are security camera footage at that facility or drop box. Assume he used the second option so he could cover his face as he can't do that at a fedex office location.

I should get the reward money. I think it's something like $5 million?

You also named them... a little unoriginal but... it's what we have come to expect

Another one just exploded at a Goodwill on the south side.

Can you investigate this shit..I mean you are there and should have a handle on it?

sspade · 03-20-2018, 08:54 PM

Scary. Hope he's caught soon. Im very interested to see who this individual is... serial bombing is definitely a strange crime to commit.

rlmesq · 03-20-2018, 08:57 PM

It's "Unabomber," with an "a," not an "i," and it's not a generic term.

The FBI used the code word "UNABOM," an acronym for "UNiversity and Airline BOMber," before the identified Ted Kaczynski as the guy behind the bombings. After his arrest, the media referred to him as the Unabomber.

Mingwan · 03-20-2018, 09:54 PM

Instead of arresting the guy first once he’s been identified, cops should post his address on reddit so the trolls can send him some packages in return.

“Yay, a package from mom!”( BOOM! )

nvturbo · 03-21-2018, 05:49 AM

News is claiming he's dead. No further info if he was killed by law enforcement or suicide.

wdb · 03-21-2018, 06:50 AM

Update: they're saying he blew himself up in a car while being pursued by police.

Looks like 35 is shut down through Austin. What a nightmare!

Too bad he couldn't be tortured first but good if true.

Isn't that normal?

bimmer456 · 03-21-2018, 11:51 AM

So I was right the case was about to break once they found the package at fedex.

1MOREMOD · 03-21-2018, 11:53 AM

Or he rigged it to blow some other dude up and now it's really on

bimmer456 · 03-21-2018, 05:13 PM

Looks like it went down like I said it would they would have footage at the drop off location and track him from there based on materials from the unexploded bomb.

I hereby grant you the forum Matlock badge. It will self destruct (non violently) in 24H.

nvturbo · 03-21-2018, 07:57 PM

walking into a FedEx/Kinkos with a wig on...yeah, that's not suspicious at all. That's what happens when you try to hard to hide hour identity but forget that places like that have surveillance cameras. If he was the actual mastermind behind the bombs, karma came after him swiftly.
