The paper'also quoted witnesses as saving Kacvnski staved at the Regis Hotel near the job agencj' and computer store and that one recalled seeing him in the neighborhood as recently as 1992 and 1993.

In one of many letters Kacvnski wrote to a retired Mexican laborer he railed against government officials, sajing it was not surprising they "do not live up to their promises, because they are either stupid and incompetent, or they are liars who twist the law to be able to commit any injustice." The letter, dated Mav 17. 1994. was reprinted in tod.tv "s editions of The New York Times. Ihe Times also reported that a third typewriter had been found in Kacv nski's cabin and would be tested.
