Twenty two years ago this week, federal authorities arrested Ted Kaczynski - known as the Unabomber - in his remote Montana cabin, ending a 17 year reign of terror. While the Unabomber had no strong ties to the Sacramento region, both his first and final murders occurred here. It was 23 years ago this month that Kaczynski claimed his final victim, Sacramento timber lobbyist Gil Murray, who was killed by a powerful bomb that tore through the California Forestry Association offices on I Street. Longtime political communications professional Kevin Eckery worked with Murray - and also with the bomb's intended target, William Dennison - at the Association. Capitol Weekly editor John Howard covered Kaczynski's bombing spree and pretrial legal wrangling firsthand for the Associated Press. On this somber anniversary they share memories of Gil Murray, and the Unabomber era.
