After researching about Forensic Linguistics, I would say that I am interested in the field. I've always been interested in learning how police officers create their interrogating questions and it turns out that is apart of a Forensic Linguists job. I also think it would be interesting to learn about different dialects and forms of writing especially when it could help solve a crime.

Name: Unabomber (University and airline bomber)
Perpetrator: Ted Kaczynski
Victims: John Hauser, Thomas Mosser, and Gilbert Brent Murray dead/23 other people were wounded
When: 1978-1995
Where: All over the U.S. (Kaczynski was based in Lincoln, Montana)

# data[].attributes.body
Kaczynski was a certified genius who not only graduated from high school at age 15 but simultaneously enrolled at Harvard. He received his doctorate in mathematics at 25. After a small stint as a professor at Berkeley, Kaczynski went back home to Lincoln, Montana, and decided to live in a cabin in the woods to learn how to be self-sufficient. The problem was, many of his favorite nature spots were being destroyed by technology. After small protests, Kaczynski decided to get more proactive and send bombs all across American universities and technology hotspots. His ultimate goal was to destroy the rapidly-growing technology and innovation industry. He made the bombs by hand and was untraceable for 17 years. Eventually, he sent his manifesto in 1995: “Industrial Society and Its Future” and forced the authorities to publish it. Although they were hesitant to post the manifesto, it was their saving grace. Kaczynski’s brother was able to step up and identify that it was similar to his brother’s handwriting and dialect from letters he had written before. With a linguist analysis, the forensic scientists were able to confirm Kaczynski’s involvement due to the similarity of how he wrote the letters to his brother and the way he wrote the manifesto. Everyone has their own dialect style which is what forensic linguists are able to pick up on; apart from just identifying the handwriting. A search warrant proved that he was guilty as his cabin was filled with bombs parts and notes from the bombings.
