The Unabomber was turned in by his brother, who recognized some unique phrasing in the released manifesto and reported it to authorities.

After looking, it looks like the brother turned him in after having this sort of analysis done to confirm his suspicions. So it does look like there's a tie to the story, but the analysis wasn't done blindly in that case.
