The "Boy Next Door" Becomes Fugitive


Cops say San Diego is an animal rights extremist. Reportedly, he targets 
corporations suspected to have ties with animal testing labs.

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.

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.

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.

His landlord remembers San Diego as very nice and personable. But the FBI 
says it was all an act.
FBI: He Went From Making Marshmallows To Making Bombs

The FBI says the man in this surveillance video captured outside the Chiron 
Corporation before the bomb went off is San Diego.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Colorful New Clues

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.

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.

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.
