Unabom suspect's cabin
may go for a ride
May 3, 1996
Web posted at: 10:50 p.m. EDTHELENA, Montana (CNN) -- Theodore Kaczynski's little cabin in the woods may soon be moved to a place where it's safe from vandals and sightseers. U.S. District Judge Charles C. Lovell signed an order Friday allowing the FBI to relocate the primitive building.
In his application for the order, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bernard F. Hubley said Kaczynski's lawyer, Michael Donahue, requested that the government check into the possibility of removing the 10- by 12-foot, one-room structure and storing it at a secure location.
Judge Lovell's order permits experts "to study the feasibility of physically removing the cabin ... and to physically remove the cabin, if feasible."
The order also extends the FBI's custody of the cabin, and the 1.4 acre lot where it now sits, through June 7. The custody would have expired May 11.
Donahoe was also given permission, in the same order, to enter the cabin over the next week to inspect it and remove any remaining personal belongings of his client.
A National Guardsman told CNN the FBI approached his unit several weeks ago to discuss the possibility of airlifting the building out of the area, but the fragility of the cabin made that unlikely.
There is a narrow dirt road leading to the cabin that might allow a flatbed truck to carry it away.
