"A former FBI agent revealed chilling new information Wednesday on the serial killer known as the Unabomber.\"It\u2019s just a matter of time before he was going to mail another bomb and kill again,\" said Terry Turchie, assistant special agent in charge of the Unabom Task Force.Watch report:\u00A0FBI agent reveals information about serial killer 'Unabomber'Turchie sat down with KCRA 3 on Wednesday for an exclusive interview, revealing many secrets from his new book, \"UNABOMBER: How the FBI Broke Its Own Rules to Capture the Terrorist Ted Kaczynski.\"Kaczynski struck twice in Sacramento.First, he killed a computer store owner named Hugh Scratton in 1985.Then, Kaczynski sent a mail bomb that killed California Forestry Association President Gil Murray 10 years later.Altogether, \"he killed three people,\" Turchie said. \"He put a bomb on an airplane.\"Turchie hunted down the killer after four years on the Unabom Task Force.The FBI used the name Unabom because Kaczynski\u2019s targets appeared at first to be universities and airlines.Turchie was one of the FBI agents on the scene when Kaczynski was captured at his Montana cabin in April 1996.In his book, Turchie reveals what FBI agents found in that cabin.\"Ted Kaczynski had a bomb under his bed, wrapped and ready to mail,\" Turchie said.Turchie said Kaczynski\u2019s new target lived in a Southern state \u2013 but that was just the beginning of what would have been a new reign of terror \u2013 with a dozen more victims.\"When we searched his cabin, we took over 50,000 pages of notes out of his cabin,\" Turchie said. \u201CYou could see he was doing a lot of research into specific targets with specific names of people, all of which we had to get out to and notify right away.\"Kaczynski eventually was brought to Sacramento for trial -- and ultimately, he pleaded guilty to the bombing spree, including the killing of Murray, from a mail bomb that destroyed the group\u2019s Sacramento office in April 1995.\u201CWe were all stunned and probably in shock for a long time,\u201D said Donn Zea, who worked with Murray.Zea remembers him as a proud family man and Vietnam veteran.\"It\u2019s not often that a bomb like that \u2013 a violent bomb -- goes off in your office and does that much destruction and murders a friend and a colleague,\" Zea said.Kaczynski\u2019s destruction includes 16 bombings in 18 years. And he might have eluded capture even longer had the FBI not elected to break one of its own rules.\"Do we negotiate with a terrorist?\" Turchie said. \"We came down eventually on the side of, 'We think it should be published because we think somebody will read it and recognize it.\u2019\u201DHe's referring to the FBI allowing the Unabomber\u2019s manifesto to be published in the Washington Post and the New York Times.\"We said, 'This man\u2019s a terrorist,'\" Turchie said. \"If you publish this, we\u2019re not telling you that he will not bomb again \u2013 in fact, we don\u2019t think he can stop himself from bombing again.\"Publishing the Unabomber\u2019s manifesto proved to be a pivotal break in the case, because the Unabomber\u2019s brother, David Kaczynski, recognized the writing style.He had an attorney notify the FBI, which ultimately led to the capture of Ted Kaczynski.The Unabomber will never be executed for his crimes because of a deal he struck with the government. In return for his guilty plea, Kaczynski will be allowed to live the rest of his life in a federal prison in Colorado.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
