[27] The bomb, like others of Kaczynski's, was handcrafted and made with wooden parts. [28] Salt Lake City, Utah on February 20, 1987. The bomb, which was disguised as a piece of lumber, injured Gary Wright when he attempted to remove it from the store's parking lot. The explosion severed nerves in Wright's left arm and propelled more than 200 pieces of shrapnel into his body. Kaczynski's brother, David—who would play a vital role in Ted's looming capture by alerting federal authorities to the prospect of his brother's being involved in the Unabomber cases— sought out and became friends with Wright after Ted was detained in 1996. David Kaczynski and Wright have remained friends and occasionally speak together publicly about their relationship. [29] David Gelernter , a computer science professor at Yale University . Though critically injured, Gelernter eventually recovered. Another bomb mailed in the same weekend was sent to the home of Charles Epstein from the University of California, San Francisco , who lost multiple fingers upon opening it. Kaczynski then called Gelernter's brother, Joel Gelernter, a behavioral geneticist, and told him, "You are next."

[32] This was followed by the 1995 murder of Gilbert Murray, president of the timber industry lobbying group California Forestry Association, by a mail bomb addressed to previous president William Dennison, who had retired. [31] [33] [33] One false clue he left was a note in a bomb that did not detonate which reads "Wu—It works! I told you it would—RV". [34] A more obvious clue was the Eugene O'Neill $1 stamps used to send his boxes. [35] One of his bombs was sent embedded in a copy of Sloan Wilson ’s novel Ice Brothers . [23] Robert Graysmith noted "In the Unabomber's case a large factor was his obsession with wood." [36] "
