Metesky planted more than 30 small bombs around the city between 1940 and 1956, targeting movie theaters, phone booths and other public areas, which he accompanied with threatening letters. (Chifflet, 2014) In 1956, the frustrated investigators asked psychiatrist James Brussel, New York State 's assistant commissioner of mental hygiene, to study crime scene photos and notes from the bomber. Brussel came up with a detailed description of the suspect: He would be unmarried, foreign, self-educated, in his 50s, living in Connecticut, paranoid and with a vendetta against Con Edison--the first bomb had targeted the power company 's 67th street headquarters.
