Legal Analyst and former federal prosecutor, Lis Wiehl, will present her latest thriller in The Hunting Series, "Hunting the Unabomber," Tuesday, July 21 at 6:30 PM, via ZOOM
Wiehl was a Fox News legal analyst for 15 years and a reporter/legal analyst for NBC News and NPR's All Things Considered, before that. She has come out with her second historical thriller in The Hunting Series, titled "Hunting the Unabomber: The FBI, Ted Kaczynski, and the Capture of America's Most Notorious Domestic Terrorist".
The first in the series, "Hunting Charles Manson", co-written with Caitlin Rother, was based on a re-examination of the 50-year-old case with new interviews, reviews of original source materials and dozens of parole hearing transcripts.
Wiehl, a former Federal prosecutor, relied on those same research methods to take a fresh look at the search for Theodore Kaczynski, an effort rife with inter-agency law enforcement conflicts that was almost shut down by the 150-member FBI team on the case before a stroke of luck led to the arrest of the criminally insane math prodigy. By that time, Kaczynski had killed three people and maimed more than a dozen others with bombs sent in the mail to random individuals.
ZOOM info will be emailed to our subscribers.
