Is Unabomer Ted Kazynsci also the Zodiac Killer?
Do you have any evidence whatsoever that the Unabomber crimes and those of the Zodiac Killer were related? Please give us this evidence. Here’s an account of the Zodiac Killer’s crimes:

Here’s a timeline of Theodore Kaczynski’s life:

Notice that at the time of the first of the Zodiac Killer’s murders, Kaczynski was living in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
GOOGLEing “Unabomber Zodiac” gave some interesting sites.
This is a ridiculous theory. It assumes that before moving to Berkeley in 1967, Kaczynski made a brief visit there and decided to kill someone while he was in town. There’s no evidence whatsoever that Kaczynski was the Zodiac Killer.
Wendell, chill dude. Unless my monitor is wrong the OP simply asked “Is Unabomer Ted Kazynsci also the Zodiac Killer?”.
Enola did not claim he is/was. or provide any theory. It’s simply a general question…you know, like the name of this fourm??
If it’s a general question, the answer is “No.” But Enola Straight is proposing a wildly absurd theory with no evidence and asking us to disprove it. I will not chill. This goes directly against the Straight Doper code of fighting ignorance. This theory is increasing the amount of ignorance in the world.
Asking a question is not proposing a theory. To suggest that it is is pure nonsense. How do you know, for instance, that Enola didn’t hear this from someone or read it on a website and is asking here for confirmation. Nowhere did he remotely suggest he believed it was true. Chill, indeed.
I don’t think it’s fair to say that Enola Straight is the one proposing this theory. I first heard it several years ago, and there are websites about it.
Free advice: Get your coffee from the pot with the ORANGE handle…
I don’t drink coffee. I also don’t make comments on other people’s personal habits. You know nothing about my life.
By the term “proposing a theory,” I meant that Enola Straight was offering it to the SDMB for consideration, not that it was original with him. I knew that he didn’t make it up himself. In second post (which was before I used the phrase “proposing a theory”), he said to Google on “Unabomber” and “Zodiac.” I did that and found the websites which talk about the theory.
So what if there are websites about this theory? If you look at those websites, you can see that there’s no real evidence for the theory. Enola Straight isn’t a newbie. He’s been around the SDMB long enough that he should recognize that this is a nut theory with no support. He should know that if he was to ask about this theory when he posts on the SDMB, he should offer some evidence for it. If he thinks that this is something that can’t be immediately answered and wants general discussion about the theory, he should know that he should have posted it in GD.
If he thinks that this is a GQ, which allows for an immediate answer of “yes” or “no,” then I answered the question in my first post. There’s a simple disproof of the theory. Kaczynski didn’t live in the Bay Area when the first murder happened. You would have to assume that he visited the area a year before he moved there and decided to murder someone while on vacation. There’s a second simple disproof. Serial/spree/mass killers don’t make huge changes in their methods in the middle of their run of murders. The methods of the Zodiac Killer and the Unabomber are about as different as you can get.
Okie-dokie…Unabomber ain’t Zodiac.
Peace, Wendell.
