Unabomber auction brings in more than $190K for victims

(CBS/KPIX/AP) SAN FRANCISCO - An online auction of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski's property brought in around $190,000 for Kaczynski's victims and their family members when it ended Thursday.

Kaczynski's journals, hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses - made infamous by police sketch artist renderings - handwritten "manifesto" and a typewriter were among the items sold at the auction.

Kaczynski's personal journals fetched the highest price at $40,676, according to CBS station KPIX. In all, collectors purchased 58 items seized during the 1996 raid of his Montana cabin.

The auction reportedly came about after seven-year-long legal battle to keep Kaczynski from reclaiming the property. Kaczynski demanded the return of his possessions in order to donate them to the University of Michigan, his alma mater, reports KPIX.

Because Kaczynski was ordered to pay $15 million to his bombing victims, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the property auctioned to contribute to that total.

The 69-year-old was sentenced to life without parole after pleading guilty in 1998 to 16 bombings that killed three people and injured 23.
