Meningioma Brain Tumor: A meningioma is a tumor that arises from a layer of tissue (the meninges) that covers the brain and spine. Meningiomas grow on the surface of the brain (or spinal cord), and therefore push the brain away rather than growing from within it. Most are considered âbenignâ because they are slow-growing with low potential to spread. Meningioma tumors can become quite large. Diameters of 2 inches (5 cm.) are not uncommon.
In 1978, the Unabomber started sending his bombs. Only after 17 years of searching, was the Unabomber caught and charged for his crimes. Theodore (Ted) Kaczynski was arrested in April of 1996 after the investigators searched his tiny 10x12 foot cabin in the woods of Lincoln, Montana.
The 17-year spree resulted in one of the longest manhunts in FBI history â a riveting investigation set to be re-traced in Discovery's new series, Manhunt: Unabomber. But while the man behind the attacks is the show's driving force, there's another key question viewers should be asking: Who is James Fitz Fitzgerald? The eventual capture of convicted Unabomber Ted Kaczynski (who plead guilty to 16 bombings and was sentenced to life in prison) is an engrossing but well-documented tale, so it's Fitzgerald's story that may strike viewers most while watching Manhunt unfold.
