Law enforcement agencies and the FBI launched a massive international manhunt for James Charles Kopp, a radical anti-abortion extremist responsible for a series of sniper attacks targeting reproductive health providers across North America. Utilizing advanced forensic evidence, such as DNA traces, specialized shell catchers, and the recovered murder weapon, authorities linked Kopp to the wounding of three doctors and the tragic assassination of Dr. Barnett Slepian. The fugitive managed to evade capture by moving underground with the assistance of the Army of God, a violent network of radical activists who provided him with financial and emotional support. A breakthrough occurred when investigators intercepted wiretaps and digital dead drop emails between Kopp and his accomplices, which eventually exposed his location in France. Following his arrest and subsequent extradition after the United States agreed to waive the death penalty, Kopp was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, effectively ending a terrifying campaign of domestic terrorism.
