Anyway, on the subject of Kaczinski DNA, they never got any from him for the Tylenol case, is that correct? Or for anything else? As I understand it, his DNA has never been drawn at all, correct?

We don’t know. based on the info I gave them, in emails and a few phone conversations, the FBI asked Ted to give DNA in the Tylenol case. He refused. He said "even innocent people may by chance partially match a DNA profile." If he was innocent why not give the DNA? Both the refusal and the explanation sound like what a guilty person would say IMO.

After Ted refused, the FBI said they would seek a court order to get his DNA. And what if anything happened after that I do not know. I have seen pictures of police and even lab techs handling Tylenol jars and pills in the case without gloves. So it could be any DNA present is not from the killer.

And there is no confirmed Zodiac DNA. At one time SFPD believed in the DNA extracted from a stamp Z used. But when I finally convinced a detective on the ONS case that there were enough similarities between aspects of Z and ONS and TK and ONS, OCDA Inv. Larry Montgomery asked SFPD to compare the possible SFPD Z partial DNA to the confirmed ONS DNA. SFPD wrote him back that they "have no confidence that there is actual Zodiac DNA" and they declined to make the comparison, saying there is nothing to compare it to. In their perspective if there was a match between the partial stamp DNA and the ONS DNA, it could be a false link, and if there were no match, a false dismissal of a link.

Seems to me the feds just want to let a sleeping dog lie since Kaczinski is locked up for good with no possibility of parole and he could probably bring up some unpleasant topics at his trial relating to his Harvard experiments. There is really not a lot of pressure on LE to solve the Tylenol or Zodiac cases. If they actually convicted Ted for one of those crimes now then everybody would say: "You dummies! What took you so long?" The FBI, like most LE agencies, is obsessed with its "image."

That is very possible. I think a combination of embarrassment, red tape, lack of initiative, etc., have made it easier to do nothing than do something. But honestly I just don’t know. One faction of the FBI that I was in communication with seemed to want to really solve the Tylenol case, and sought Ted’s DNA. But another faction seemed to want to block it and focus only on the blackmailer, who was not the killer.
