Novato resident Jonathan Epstein says the death of Ted Kaczynski means closure for his family.
Ted Kaczynski, the convicted terrorist known as the Unabomber has died in Federal prison, he was 81.
"My first reaction was 'Finally we can close that chapter on this part of our life.' I was glad to hear the news," Epstein said. "I was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, when I got a call from my aunt who said my father opened a mail bomb," Epstein said.Jonathan says there was no reason for the attack, because his father's research was focused on understanding Down's Syndrome."The irony of him being targeted is that he was not involved in genetic engineering or some of the things people feared about the time," he said.
In 1995, he sent a 35,000 word essay to the FBI explaining his motives, which became known as the "Unabomber Manifesto.""They called him the Unabomber because initially his targets were universities," said former ABC7 News reporter Laura Anthony.
