The "Boy Next Door" Becomes Fugitive<br><br>
<br>
Cops say San Diego is an animal rights extremist. Reportedly, he targets
corporations suspected to have ties with animal testing labs.<br><br>
Daniel Andreas San Diego grew up in San Rafel, California, where friends
remember him as very smart and fun to be around. He attended Terra Linda
High School in San Rafel and took classes at the College of Marin. When
San Diego was in high school, he worked at the school's radio station. He
liked listening to heavy metal and rock music. San Diego was a
typical high school kid, but friends say his behavior slowly began to
change. <br><br>
He told friends that he had watched a program on MTV called
"Straight Edge," and that he was very interested in the
movement portrayed in the show. Followers of the straight edge philosophy
are adamant about not drinking, smoking or doing drugs. Police say that
straight edge by itself is harmless, but some members with extreme views
begin to branch off the main group. Among them are animal rights
activists.<br><br>
In 1988, according to the FBI, San Diego began hanging out with some
extremist animal rights activists. He became a vegan, someone who does
not eat or use anything that contains animal products. Friends say that
San Diego cut his hair, stopped drinking and began wearing a jacket that
said 'VEGAN DEATH CREW" on the back.<br><br>
His landlord remembers San Diego as very nice and personable. But the FBI
says it was all an act.<br>
FBI: He Went From Making Marshmallows To Making Bombs<br><br>
The FBI says the man in this surveillance video captured outside the
Chiron Corporation before the bomb went off is San Diego.<br><br>
His landlord remembers San Diego as very nice and personable. San Diego
told her that he was starting a new business venture. He claimed to have
a recipe for vegan marshmallows, made without gelatin. She said that San
Diego appeared to have his act together, and never mentioned anything to
suggest that he held radical views about animal rights.<br><br>
But the FBI says it was all an act. Agents say that in the early morning
hours of Thursday, August 28, 2003, San Diego showed his true
colors. They say he drove to the offices of the Chiron Corporation in
Emeryville, California, and placed two pipe-bombs outside the building.
The first went off around 2:55 a.m., followed by the second at 4:00 a.m.
Both bombs caused damage to the building, but luckily no one was injured.
<br><br>
Then, on September 26, 2003, the FBI says San Diego struck again. Police
say this time he targeted the Shaklee Corporation in Pleasanton,
California. The bomb exploded at at 3:22 a.m. and caused damage to the
building. FBI agents say no one was injured, but they believe that the
bomb was intended to hurt someone. Agents say when the bomb
exploded it sent nails flying through the air at a speed of 100 miles an
hour. <br><br>
The FBI says that San Diego planted the bombs because he believed the
companies he targeted had ties with labs that use animals for testing
medications and other products. <br><br>
After each of the attacks, an animal rights group called "The
Revolutionary Cells-Liberation Brigade" posted an e-mail taking
responsibilty for the bombings. The group also warned that if
Chiron and Shaklee didn't sever their ties with animal testing labs, the
bombs would increase in size, and that the employees' homes and familes
would become targets. Agents say they cannot directly connect San
Diego to the e-mails, but they do know he has ties to the group that sent
them. <br><br>
Agents began tracking San Diego's every move, hoping that he would led
them to where the bombs were made, or to other people involved. Agents
believe that San Diego realized that he was being followed, because on
October 6, 2003, he parked his car in downtown San Franciso, walked away,
and never returned. He has not been seen since. <br><br>
Colorful New Clues <br><br>
On April 20, 2005, the FBI announced new information about San Diego's
appearance. Officials say his life on the run just got a lot harder. The
FBI says they have learned that San Diego has covered most of his body in
tattoos. They say he now has very distinctive tattoos that cover
his chest, back, and abdomen. The FBI says the tattoo on San
Diego's chest is a round, colored tattoo that resembles a valley or plain
on fire. <br><br>
Sources also describe the tattoo on his lower stomach as a black and
white picture of a burning building. The tattoo on his lower back
is another burning building and right next to it, officials say, is a
lone tree. <br><br>
Officials say San Diego's tattoos would be very hard to hide if he were
to wear a smaller cut t-shirt or visit the beach. <br>
