Hmmmm?? I thought a member of his family turned him in.
I think I heard Tom Sullivan mention it on Rush yesterday.
It was a relative, you are correct. But they did narrow it down using contents of his manifesto.
Parts were from a rare book that could only be found in very few libraries.
They were hot on the trail when his brother gave him up.
At least I think that's how the story went.
After all those years Ted K was IDed by his own brother and located by the FBI using calls from the public and profilers.
His odd social life history, age, sex, NW rural location, university teaching post, possession of firearms, and handicraft hobbies were simple logical deductions that took under two weeks.
His published "Manifesto" was some help but most was already known.
Not that I would know anything about that.......
The DC Beltway Islamic snipers were also profiled accurately but the FBI did not act on it.
