This auction is for a letter from "Unabomber" Theodore "Ted" Kaczynski (5/22/1942 - 6/10/2023). Between 1978 and 1995, Ted Kaczynski killed three people, and injured 23 others, using mail bombs. The mathematician had chosen to live a simple, solitary life, and began targeting those who threatened the environment. He was arrested on 4/3/1996 after being turned in by his brother and sister-in-law. With prosecutors seeking the death penalty, Ted Kaczynski plead the sheet on 1/22/1998 and received life without the possibility of parole.
