The profiling is interesting but in this case, the FBI was irrelevant to 'solving the case', Kaczynski's brother and sister-in-law saw the manifesto in the NYT and turned him in.

The FBI made the call to publish the manifesto, hoping for this exact outcome.

I stand half corrected, they did encourage publishing along with DoJ and it was the papers which ultimately made the call.
