Imagine it – you’ve got a special package that arrived in the mail! It’s attractively wrapped, and seems to contain something valuable. Perhaps, an expensive bottle of perfume? Tickets to a Caribbean cruise? Or the latest gadget you’ve been saving up for? Instinctively, you become excited to unwrap the package, leaving no room for any suspicion or fear, as the surprise just fills you with joy. In almost all instances, such would be the scenario, right? However, five New York City residents had the opposite experience. Between 1982 and 1996, each of them received an unexpected, nicely wrapped package in the mail; but the surprise brought them shock, trauma and injuries, and one even met her untimely death, because what they opened turned out to be an explosive device. The attacks became known as the malevolent work of the “Zip Gun Bomber.”

This is the first time I've heard of the zip gun bomber. Great post and very informative.
Maybe only one person was targeted & other victim's was to throw off the law probably #1 & maybe #4 & loved the attention & not getting caught & old now! (Hopefully!)
Dude none of your stuff has shown up in my feed or anything for the last two months. glad I found ya again I have some catching up commenting and liking to do! miss you guys and gals. <3<3<3<3
This is so sad rip to all the victims.
I absolutly love ur work thank ypu so much
The first lady had a lot of connections & power! So many social circles with endless possibilities!! Look what they've done/there maybe more? Hmmm….most definitely prophetic
Why don't they do DNA testing on the packages . And why wasn't everyone told by post office not to open packages they didn't recognize who the sender was. everyone should have been aware
They keep referring to the Zip Gun Bomber as “he” or “him” … I mean it could be a woman no?
I love Scary Mysteries it helps every through my 3 hours of commuting every day…… still have no idea or definitive answer as to what exactly the thing that is turned with the number countdown and the pig snorting 🤷🏻♂️
I think I remember about this growing up or was it the anthrax mail
Just gotta say how much I appreciate the quality of narration. It seems thats an aspect most true crime channels really fail with, ending up with voices/cadences etc that are so bad it’s distracting. This channel is one of if not THE best, especially in that regard 🙌🏻🙏
I've been having weird experiences and recently 2 different pieces of tracked mail were sent from 2 different states and both were "mis-sent", rerouted, delayed, and sent back to me.
After recieving ominous phone calls, and mysterious cyber attacks, I think I'll let the FBI open the packages.
I don't think it's a coincidence that this story came to my feed.
Sharing for this info for documentation. 😬
Wish me luck!

Dude, That picture at 20:34 is St. Albans in Hertfordshire England, I live a few miles from there and know the town quite well.
yeah, the sound effects need to go.
Not sure I care for the sound effects, but I do like the vids.
Stay away from my town.
"Dear Joan, you're dead" 🤣😂
Especially well done and horrific to everyone that was effected, what is wrong with people????? As for those that were involved and escaped, they will be battling the paralyzing every few times that a package comes. I hope that everyone affected, I hope that they can manage this trauma. So sad….☹️
He clearly knew Joan
Can you do Arkansas
No mysteries in September? 🙂
So… maybe I'm paranoid, but I accept no packages that I didn't order. 😬 Once ups wanted me to sign for something that came to my house (when we weren't expecting anything to come) and I was like "No one here ordered anything, I don't want it." And the dude was like "❓❓" He said "Are you "so and so?"(look I don't remember the name lol), and it was no one I've ever heard of before. I was like, "Look, I don't care what you do with it. I have no clue who that person is, we didn't order anything, and I don't want it." Dude was so confused. Like, apparently, everyone just accepts all packages, even if they don't order it and they don't know who the person it's intended to be for is. Not me, I've seen shows like this, about random ass packages. 😂
20:34 I was absolutely amazed at how much St Albans Queens NY looks literally identical to St Albans UK 😉
I’m thinking the motive behind the bombs was old grudge, probably decades old. All of the intended victims were elderly, the youngest being the first victim who was 55. As she was a school guidance counselor I would look at her early work and life rather than focusing on what happened around her death. At what high school had she worked in her younger years? Or did she herself go to school? Because I bet that’s where the solution is. Someone, a pupil, a staff member or even a rejected suitor, who felt offended by something she did and carried that grudge for a very long time, and it accumulated. This was someone who’s life turned out really bad and he was looking for people to blame, because he couldn’t take the responsibility for his own wrongdoings and mistakes. Classical denial and projection. And a lot of hate and anger.
It’s quite possible that the bomber sent his bombs based on his own timeline, in the order as things happened for him. He’s hurting people as he experienced he had been hurt by them. That’s why the intended victims were old, and also why he mistakenly sent a bomb to his intended victim’s sister, not knowing that the brother was living in an retirement home. He simply had no contact with his victims for a long time.
The connection between these people can be found years back. And it’s one single individual who interacted with every single one of them at one point or another, several years before he set his plan in motion.
That’s my theory after seeing this video and reading up on the case.
now im even more paranoid about getting a package
No More Sound Effects! Are you doing asmr??
Maybe the murderer killed themselves while setting up a bomb
Great vid as usual but the pic of St Albans you've used in a town in UK.
"Craig, you got fired for stealing boxes? Whatchu tryna build a clubhouse?" Is all I think everytime I hear the name Craig.
It all seems so random…though I guess somehow it wasn't, but that's what makes it even more frustrating. No one really knows ANYTHING, not just who did it but the reasoning behind it all and the connection between the victims. I'd love to see this one solved one day
Creepy.
Man… I don’t understand why anyone does anything any more
I wonder if he was 50 and frail??? 🤔 let’s see.
God I hope it don't show up on anyone🙏🙏🙏❤
stl files are available.
So horrible
At least today zip guns can be 3D printed far easier. Now if only bullets could be 3D printed as well. If only PEEK filament was cheap.
0:55 Nope, I assume every package I get is a bomb or a biohazard waiting to go off if I'm not expecting it from Amazon and/or can't follow it with a tracking number (return to sender gets stamped on it). Same reason it's stupid to open links in emails from people you don't know or weren't expecting, only worse than just computer malware. "Curiosity killed the cat" has never been more apt.
Unless we have a copy cat
There’s a reason each of the victims were selected. It may not make sense to us as rational decent people but to the person who made and delivered these devices it made sense. He knew their names and addresses. The internet wasn’t as big especially in the first killing. The phone book was the only way to identify people back then. But the selection of these victims had a purpose, albeit irrational and devious. That ten year stretch was an indication that whoever did this was probably in prison. It’s a solvable case. It just needs new eyes and hopefully a reexamination of the evidence could reveal who did these horrible things.
00:18:55 thats what ya get for opening other peoples mail, which is a federal offense
