Possessing a 167 IQ, admitted to Harvard University at age 16, a uniquely talented mathematician, this former Berkeley college professor became the subject of the longest and most expensive investigation in FBI history. Ted's high school yearbook photo. As a youngster, Ted did develop a precocious interest in reading, math and science, his mother reading to him articles from Scientific American that he could comprehend by the time he was six.  He excelled in grade school but even at this young age was determined to avoid contact with others, usually spending time by himself in his room with the door shut, especially when visitors came to his home. Math Club in high school, second from left, standing. Kaczynski moved on to Evergreen Park Community High School.  On paper, he might have seemed to be the model student.  He joined the school band playing the trombone, and became a member of the math, coin, biology and German clubs.  Classmates described him as the smartest kid in his class.  But his inability to fit in socially and his self imposed isolation from any normal high school activities like sock hops and athletic events underlined his almost stereotypical profile as the quintessential nerd, complete with glasses, pencil pocket protector, slight physical stature, and painfully shy personality. With Ted, Sr. and David. Ted Kaczynski was born on May 22, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois.  His father, Theodore, Ted, Sr. spent much of his adult working life as a sausage maker in a factory owned by a relative. The 1994 composite that intrigued the nation. The most distinct aspect of this particular attack was that, for the first time, an eyewitness observed the Unabomber in the act.  An FBI sketch artist immediately put together a composite that was deemed unsatisfactory.  Then a freelance artist was hired to try again.  Both of these sketches were only used on a local Sacramento and very limited national basis, the FBI still insisting on not publicizing a potential serial bomber.  The secretary also continually maintained that the two original sketches did not really resemble the man she saw.  It would not be until 1994, when public awareness was already rampant and the FBI, still no closer to solving the case and knowing that the sketches they had were inaccurate, that a third sketch was developed and released, this time the much more familiar composite, which became a popular culture icon.  This rendition, by veteran criminal sketch artist Jeanne Boylan featured a hooded, grim looking man, with curly hair, a strong chin and very large, aviator sunglasses.  Her Unabomber would quickly become ubiquitous and greatly add to the criminal’s mystique.
