I'm doing research on him and I was wondering how it took him so long to be caught? How did he avoid having mail traced back to him, etc etc.

He was very careful and made sure that none of his bombs left any usable evidence.

Because with out his manifesto he was just any other person with a grudge against technology. He left very few clues as to his identity, he didn't hang out with other people so that anyone would know him well. IF it hadn't been for something he'd written years ago and left with his brother he might never have been found. It was when the paper published his manifesto that his brother remembered that it sounded like something he'd written years early, when his brother compared the two he found them almost the same, That's when he notified the police that he thought the unabomber was his brother.

His bombs were sent years apart usually, he kept an otherwise low profile as others said, and the forensic science available was probably quite different then what is available now.

He was a very intelligent man, he never mailed a bomb from the same city twice and usually gave a phony return address or no return address.

He lived in isolation and kept his interactions with other to a bare minimum. He was identified by his brother only after his manifesto was published in a newspaper.
