| 0:34.0 | It's a weekly show where we deep dive into the most talked about cases like the Delphi murders, and also those you might never have heard of like the Nathari Child sacrifices in Delhi. |
| 0:43.0 | Go listen to Redhanded right now on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:50.0 | A listener note, Killer Siky contains adult content and describes violent acts. This episode is not suitable for everyone. |
| 1:07.0 | I'd been an agent in the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 15 years when I got the call to go to Montana. |
| 1:14.0 | It was February 23rd, the dead of winter in Montana. Emphasis on dead. |
| 1:22.0 | I'd be going with two other agents. One of them, John, was actually my fiance at the time and a surveillance expert. |
| 1:30.0 | And I had worked on a Univomor Squad for about a year. I knew the case pretty well. |
| 1:36.0 | We needed expertise in both case history and surveillance because John and I were going undercover in order to gather evidence about a man named Ted Kaczynski. |
| 1:48.0 | So our bus thought Candace and John would be perfect because they look like a normal couple when they go undercover. |
| 1:57.0 | So Sunday afternoon, the day we were set to leave, I started packing. I went down to the basement but I couldn't find my coat. I had just moved into that house and I had no idea where it was. |
| 2:10.0 | However, I did know my son's ski park was in his closet. So I grabbed it. It was black with red and blue stripes. It looked like the kind of thing you'd see a teenage boy wearing skiing down a mountainside. |
| 2:23.0 | It was way too big for me, but fashion was not on my mind. When we arrested Ted Kaczynski out of his mountain cabin, he would be wearing my son's coat. |
| 2:34.0 | And it would go on to make criminal history. |
| 2:39.0 | You might remember the headlines. A brilliant mouth professor turned Ray Kluse living in a mountain cabin deep in the woods. A bizarre manifesto. And a string of deadly homemade bombs that left a trail of bodies in its path. |
| 2:53.0 | The FBI investigation took 17 long years. Three innocent people were killed and more than 20 were seriously injured. |
| 3:02.0 | But who was this guy who instilled a deep fear of packages placed on our nation's doorstep, or boxes, or even the mail? |
| 3:10.0 | In 1996, I found myself face to face with him, seated alone in an isolated mountain cabin in Montana. |
