Gilbert Brent Murray, 46, was killed on April 24, 1995, in Sacramento, California, when a mail bomb exploded in the downtown office of the California Forestry Association. The package had been addressed to his predecessor and detonated as Murray tried to help a colleague open it. The blast shattered windows and doors in the office.

Investigators noted the device bore the hallmarks of the Unabomber attacks and that several of the bomber’s victims had connections to wood or the timber industry. Murray had recently become president of the California Forestry Association, and the attack on that office was the first time the bomber explicitly targeted an organization linked to environmental policy.

Murray’s colleagues and family remembered him for his dedication to the forestry industry and his role as a mediator and facilitator in the association. Does anyone have information about Murray’s work at the association or recollections from that day that could add to the record?
