"They acted as if we were all in coordination in creating and sending bombs through the mail," says Dave Buckley. "These agents are asking very specific questions that seem random to the point of absurdity" Other agents have fanned out across Evanston to question other North Shore general staffers.

The UNABOM investigation was one of the longest manhunts in American history - it lasted for 18 years starting in 1978. Before the FBI started investigating Ted Kaczynski, they looked into a number of suspects, including a group of friends who loved playing Dungeons & Dragons.
