More university bombs, '81, '82...
364
00:20:01,506 --> 00:20:04,605
Computer science professors,
engineering professors,
365
00:20:04,606 --> 00:20:06,939
one poor secretary at Vanderbilt
366
00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:09,417
opened a package addressed to her boss.
367
00:20:09,882 --> 00:20:12,449
More universities in '82,
368
00:20:12,474 --> 00:20:15,525
'85, '85, Boeing in '85,
369
00:20:15,526 --> 00:20:18,793
two computer shops, '85 and '87.
370
00:20:19,535 --> 00:20:21,949
The second one, he
got his first fatality.
371
00:20:23,499 --> 00:20:26,627
And this is where we
got our first eyewitness.
372
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,276
She gave us this now famous sketch,
373
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:33,361
and then nothing for six years.
374
00:20:33,712 --> 00:20:37,262
So we figured he was dead
or maybe finally got laid.
375
00:20:37,263 --> 00:20:38,523
[Laughter]
376
00:20:38,974 --> 00:20:40,397
But then he is back...
377
00:20:40,705 --> 00:20:43,163
Epstein at U.C., Gelernter at Yale.
378
00:20:43,641 --> 00:20:46,031
In his hiatus, he
developed much more powerful
379
00:20:46,032 --> 00:20:48,531
and sophisticated bombs,
and they keep coming.
380
00:20:48,932 --> 00:20:51,065
Exxon Valdez’s PR guy, Mosser,
381
00:20:51,066 --> 00:20:54,299
and just last week, Gil
Murray in Sacramento.
382
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,074
It took three body bags
to collect the parts.
383
00:20:59,815 --> 00:21:02,067
Why these targets? Why now?
384
00:21:02,068 --> 00:21:03,301
No clue.
385
00:21:03,302 --> 00:21:05,301
So, what forensic leads do we have?
386
00:21:06,016 --> 00:21:08,140
Basically, we have no forensic leads.
387
00:21:09,199 --> 00:21:10,736
No DNA, no prints.
388
00:21:11,445 --> 00:21:12,789
But we did have a couple good ideas.
389
00:21:12,837 --> 00:21:15,737
We discovered that he gets his
addresses out one particular
390
00:21:15,738 --> 00:21:18,904
edition of "Who's who," so
we interviewed just about
391
00:21:18,905 --> 00:21:21,437
every librarian in
the country... nothing.
392
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,938
Makes his bombs out of junk,
393
00:21:23,939 --> 00:21:27,406
so we did a national
junkyard canvass... no dice.
394
00:21:28,114 --> 00:21:30,240
But we figure eventually
he is gonna screw up,
395
00:21:30,241 --> 00:21:31,573
and maybe he already did.
396
00:21:31,913 --> 00:21:34,407
Over the years, he's been
mailing typed letters...
397
00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:37,774
Nothing worth reading until
this letter that he wrote
398
00:21:37,775 --> 00:21:39,241
to the New York times.
399
00:21:39,242 --> 00:21:41,342
Now, the letter itself is blah-blah-blah,
400
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:43,942
but forensics found
this on the envelope...
401
00:21:44,434 --> 00:21:45,895
"Call Nathan R."
402
00:21:46,108 --> 00:21:47,576
We figure he wrote himself a post-it note
403
00:21:47,577 --> 00:21:48,810
on top of the letter.
404
00:21:49,225 --> 00:21:51,766
And that is our first real lead.
405
00:21:51,838 --> 00:21:53,845
FBI agents are
interviewing everyone called
406
00:21:53,845 --> 00:21:56,140
"Nathan R-something" in the country.
407
00:21:56,341 --> 00:21:59,312
Plan B is to find Nathans
with "R" middle names.
408
00:21:59,798 --> 00:22:01,379
10,000 Nathan Rs.
409
00:22:01,380 --> 00:22:03,179
And that is it.
410

Nope.
414

The Russian river killer,
Hartford abduction.
424

that would have ended
425

440

It's our current profile,
my own summary of it.
441

That's exactly why you're here.

446
00:23:31,497 --> 00:23:33,747
So make us look good.
447
00:23:35,628 --> 00:23:37,931
Yeah, I will. I will. I'll do my best.
448
00:23:37,932 --> 00:23:39,532
It's just a little
different than I'm used to,
449
00:23:39,533 --> 00:23:41,766
'cause in terms of a profile,
they were a lot more scientific
450
00:23:41,767 --> 00:23:43,465
and a little bit longer.
451
00:23:43,466 --> 00:23:45,033
Welcome to the real world.
452
00:23:45,514 --> 00:23:47,466
Quantico's a long way away.
453
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:50,235
What S.S.A. Cole means
is that that summary
454
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:52,725
is a distillation of 10 years work,
455
00:23:53,171 --> 00:23:55,970
so it's got a solid foundation
and we don't expect it
456
00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:58,536
to change except for the wood thing.
457
00:23:58,537 --> 00:23:59,572
Mm.
458

The wood thing?
459
00:24:01,271 --> 00:24:03,936
There's a theory FC
is obsessed with wood.
460
00:24:03,937 --> 00:24:07,015
Maybe he has erectile dysfunction.
461
00:24:07,293 --> 00:24:09,371
Since he blew up this
Mosser guy... moss...
462
00:24:09,372 --> 00:24:12,939
It's like a plant, so that
can go in your profile now.
463
00:24:12,940 --> 00:24:15,505
That's gonna play very,
very well with the press,
464
00:24:15,506 --> 00:24:18,006
so I want you to dress that up a bit,
465
00:24:18,007 --> 00:24:21,941
uh, "a propensity for softness
in the genital region,"
466
00:24:21,942 --> 00:24:23,951
something like that... But nothing crude.
467
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,431
