The United Healthcare Killer Could Be a FOREIGN ASSASSIN

Looks latino to me

He's having a chat with the barista about how much he liked Day of the Jackal.

Nice smile

Handsome rogue. I hope he's sipping a cappuccino outside of a Milan cafe right now.

Holy shit, it's Ezra Miller!

Um, many of us have repeatedly suggested that, OP, in the real thread.

They’re offering a measly $10,000 reward! Even the insurance company doesn’t give a shit.

I think the wife hired him. It's always the significant other

I guarantee you they are doing more behind the scenes, r7. Unless they know who it was because they needed him silenced for some reason.

Unrelated, but I read that Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is refusing to pay for anesthesia beyond a limited time during surgery.

Sorry, link

He's gonna find out if you've been naughty or nice! Next!

[quote] Cops Close in on Grinning Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Murder as They Search Hostel

Police appeared to be closing on the identity of the assassin who gunned down the UnitedHealthcare CEO in midtown Manhattan Thursday as they released a photo of the grinning suspect and searched a hostel where he was believed to have stayed.

The photos, shared by the NYPD on X, show the “person of interest,” who is wearing the same outfit as in earlier photos of the shooter, with his face mask down.

Police on Wednesday searched the HI NYC Hostel on 103rd and Amsterdam Avenue, where the suspected killer is believed to have stayed in a room with two other men, according to CNN.

Matheus Taranto, who was staying at the hostel while visiting from Brazil, told the Daily Beast that police swept through the building around 5 or 6 p.m. and seemed particularly interested in room 407, which remained locked Thursday.

“I was going to the bathroom, and [a police officer] was like, No, you can’t pass here,” Taranto said.

Although sources told CNN that the suspect largely wore a mask while he was at the Upper West Side hostel, police were able to obtain one image of the man from his stay in which his face is visible.

The NYPD declined to comment on the hostel search.

The latest developments in the race to apprehend the killer, who stalked Thompson outside his hotel before firing several shots at close range, comes as law enforcement is closing in on the suspect’s identity, police sources told ABC News.

Investigators have several possible suspect names, but they were inconclusive when compared to the surveillance image released Thursday, a law enforcement official told the New York Times.

Thompson was in the city for an investor conference for his company, one of the largest healthcare providers in America.

After using a silenced weapon to gun the executive down in what city police commissioner Jessica Tisch called a “premeditated, pre-planned, targeted attack,” the killer fled on an electric bike, kicking off a sprawling manhunt.

While the killer’s motive remains unknown, the investigation has so far turned up a number of clues.

The police found bullet casings at the scene with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” engraved on them, ABC News reported Wednesday night.

He looks swarthy.

They just don't make swarthy like they used to.

looks womanly

Looks androgynous or a very pretty boy latin

Russian

Looks DEADLY!

Small, foreign faction.

Pros don't allow their faces to be caught by CCTV cameras like this yahoo clearly did.

I think it’s Shawn Mendes.

Pic could be seen as female.

That's a very distinct, pointed chin.

[quote]Pic could be seen as female.

Well, a 6'1" female with man hands should be relatively easy to find.

You do have to show ID to stay there, like a passport.

[quote] You do have to show ID to stay there, like a passport.

If he can get a silencer for his gun, he can get a fake passport.

Both are difficult to obtain, so if you can get one, you can probably get the other.

They’re not even close to catching him.

United Healthcare denied Momma much-needed proctological care for her mussy, so I'd check her trailer for young Alexei here.

Well at least we know it's not Pipebomb Marge this time.

Or middle eastern.

r29 Pipe bomb Marge was too high of an elected Republican representative to even question. That's something we just don't do unless it is a Democrat.

It's sexually traumatized actor Justin Baldoni !!!!

Promising eyebrows and a winning smile.

I bet the next night he at Le Bar Salle Blanche in Monaco sipping martinis and celebrating another day another dollar.

Apparently, [bold]someone[/bold] is shook up.

You're suggesting that the killer is foreign because of the way that he looks?

What happened to the great melting pot USA? Do you all look the same now?

Looks among other things, R36.

He's not 400lbs in wraparound shades and four shirts and a hoodie

I love how people are falling for the shit he wrote on the bullet casings. Deliberate misdirection. The guy was a hired gun and he wants police to believe he’s the aggrieved family member of some dead UHC policyholder.

Truer words, R38...

Now if the suspect possesses any knowledge of geography or culture and history, the possibility of a foreign faction will soar

[quote]The photos, shared by the NYPD on X, show the “person of interest,” who is wearing the same outfit as in earlier photos of the shooter...

Except he's not. The jacket and backpack are different styles and colors than those of the shooter. Now, maybe he changed into another jacket and backpack, but everyone's reporting this as if they are identical. And they're not.

I want him to murder my vagina!

R36, he’s thin and he did not mis-spell the words on the bullet casings. Ergo, he must be foreign.

I have to say, I do like his jacket and backpack combo; quite fashionable.

All American killers are ugly or fat or ugly AND fat.

So yeah. This one must be an import.

Yeah, he's rockin' that whole fugitive vibe. He'll be shot dead when they get a location on him. Wonder what he'll be wearing?

[QUOTE] I have to say, I do like his jacket and backpack combo; quite fashionable.

His whole outfit was stellar.

Who’s hotter… this one, or Daniel Penny?

The backpack is on sale.

It will make a super Christmas gift!

Besides being an evil profiteer, the dead CEO was also a carbface, while the shooter seems to be a dreamboat, so it's clear where our sympathies lie.

He appears to have very nice straight white teeth as well; squee!

I said in the OP that he left the country, but maybe he’s still here. Maybe he’s got a list and he’s hunting down the rest of his targets.

I wouldn’t mind him dicking me down.

[quote] Maybe he’s got a list and he’s hunting down the rest of his targets.

*crossing my fingers*

Watch your backs, corporate CUNTS.

Heads on Pikes is making a comeback!

Armenian or Iranian perhaps.

He has balls of steel. I bet he’s a gamer and a hacker, too.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care.

All I could think of when I saw his smile was the That Girl theme song.

🎶 Diamonds, Daisies, Snowflakes, That Girl 🎶

He's just another single gal in the big city!

Lol

I aways forget we can't post Independent links.

Anyway, when I first saw the footage of the shooter, I was certain it was a woman in disguise.

Looks like Max Greenfield.

ASS

ASS

IN

Chief Execution Officer…lol

Too fucking hot to be a sickly poor Murican on the hunt for revenge

R57 as R24 points out, 6'1 with man hands - unlikely to be female ( maybe trans?)

He's very pretty, I'd fuck him if he wasnt an assassin. Maybe even if he was

That's right, asshole insurance CEOs. They know they're targets now.

r65 ah, I didn't realize he was 6'1.

I agree with what someone said upthread: Iranian or Armenian.

I think I'll ask AI to write a dance ditty called "Shooty Li'l Cutie."

Ipod

That foreign faction is at it again!

[quote] I want him to murder my vagina!

Shut up, Lady Lindzebelle. A prolapsed asshole is not a vagina.

Fox News reporting our shooty cutie arrived in Manhattan on a bus he boarded in Atlanta.

[quote] Atlanta

Was he one of the B-52's?

In that photo, he looks like the male version of Julia Roberts.

Not a pro per these experts.

He doesn’t want people to think he’s a pro.

One of the local stations here in NYC reported tonight that the shooter “may have flirted” with one of the desk clerks at the hostel where he was staying on the UWS. If true, imagine being that person knowing this guy went on to murder somebody.

Please ignore my post. I just saw where someone already brought that up in one of the other threads.

R10 Anthem Blue Cross already walked that back.

Back to OP - do we know he fled the country? How would you know that if you didn't know who he was?

I think I should adds backpacks to my line of merch at American Riviera Orchard.

Jesus Christ r11, I thought that was an article from the Onion.

The guy is a hero

I think he looks like Karen Carpenter.

An assassin wouldn’t have made the mistake of going into a Starbucks without the mask, not a professional one at least.

And Elon Musk wants to make Medicare Advantage the automatic choice for people when they turn 65, and I assume they'll have to take some online steps to get original Medicare, which doesn't require insurance company authorization for most procedures (assuming he doesn't abolish original Medicare).

[quote] I think he looks like Karen Carpenter.

Is that why he was able to disappear into thin air?

When I heard the wife's voice yesterday she did not sound that upset. Although it was only a short audio clip and maybe she was in shock and operating on autopilot. He is worth more dead than alive though. I am sure he had great life insurance.

The wife living apart from the victim is an interesting fact.

Ryan Murphy is furiously taking notes for his next TV project.

Wasn’t the CEO separated from his wife for a year or more, while dating a woman who was also married, with kids?

Perhaps it’s her ex?

I believe the NYPD already have an ID on him. Now, they’re processing more evidence smoke him out.

We will soon know who is the man is, and we might also get a background on the motive.

It’s interesting that Anthem Blue Cross have now retracted the announcement of not paying out for anesthesia. If this if this was a societal statement execution, it’s very possible that they too, have received threatening letters from the same executioner. I predict they’ll move forward with the morally corrupt anesthesia scheme soon after the dust settles.

He doesn’t look Armenian.

Another possibility is that it’s someone he works with.

He fucked over a colleague, and the colleague threw all caution to the wind, & hired a friend of a friend, who loves to shoot guns in his backyard.

He's cute!

This movie ("L&O"?) will be awesome! A moral conundrum: call it "The Victim." But WHO is the real victim?

Scenes of illness, denial of coverage, despair, death, legal challenges, more despair. A troubled marriage of a schlemiel insurance executive. Anger, sorrow, indifference, threats, fear, death. The solicitation of a hitman. Who really answers that Dark Web "Want Ad"? Or is there no hired killer, but a grieving son who watched his mother die and now, at last, can smile? The escape to the electric bike and through Central Park, eluding New York's Finest? Maybe a flight headed for Rio? Are there two different hoodie-wearing young men?

Starring.....Timothee Chalamet and Paul Giamatti.

He looks like Jake Gyllenhaal.

Does that negate the lowly hunting the rich?

We haven't cast a DL movie project in a while, R94. Let's do it.

Plus, we have to title it and have punchy marketing copy.

[quote]Thompson, who lived in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was named chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021. [bold]He made $10.2m (£8m) from the company last year. In 2022, he made $9.8m and in 2021 he made $9.6m[/bold]

By robbing from the sick to give to the rich. Efficiencies!

I saw a comment on Reddit calling him "Robin Hoody."

The title of the movie:

"Deny, Defend, Depose"

or

"Deny/Defend"

Another damn foreigner taking a job away from a good American.

The killer is a hottest for sure, but I'm still amazed at how such a fat, unattractive hick became CEO of anything. Most corporate guys are at least semi-decent looking, the older ones are often thought of as distinguished in appearance. Very few of them are big, fat, poorly-dressed, husky-sized hicks. I mean, I know the guy is from the Midwest, but still, he should have been better looking.

I like a professional assassin who takes a contract and simply does the job.

Not like these Secret Service botched jobs, Sad.

I recognize him. His name is Jason Bourne.

Agree, R103. The term "Fat Cat" (or in this shit head's case "Fat Chipmunk") shouldn't be taken literally. Yuck!

Sometimes, you have to outsource a job. Americans are too soft.

He's hard core. The gun jammed but that didn't faze him, he fixed it then kept shooting. He was brazen, cool, calm, and collected while gunning down a man in midtown with people around. Despite cameras everywhere and a national focus, he's still at large. He strikes me as a Unibomber type guy.

I want to know how they figured out where he stayed and how he got to NYC. Creepy that they know.

I bet he gets a makeover

Maybe someone who wanted his job tipped the shooter off, as to his schedule. Or an underling he had been sexually harassing who had access to where he would be, when (an executive assistant?). Perhaps someone he promised a promotion and then renigged on the offer, decided that he (or she) was going to retaliate.

Hired by the wife.

As I said early on in the OG thread, he looks Israeli and I would bet former IDF hired assassin.

Maybe, he's Greek.

R110 According to CNN, the shooter took a Greyhound bus from Atlanta to NYC.

^Oops! Wrong link.

I know, but how did they identify him getting off a bus at the Port Authority with only fleeting surveillance video with no clear face to go on? A quarter of a million people a day travel through the bus terminal . How did they figure out where he was staying? He didn’t go back there after the shooting.

It seems like they can pretty accurately and quickly trace ANYONE’S movements based on only a fleeting video .

Pretty creepy.

And he arrived at the Port Authority more than a week before the shooting.

They can track anyone that they really want to. The technology is there and the manpower as well, if they are willing to requisition it.

Is he cuter than the Boston Bomber pretty boy?

Of course the killer is a millennial. We don't take shit from corporate Gen X anymore.

This one is even better than the butch-lesbian-sous-chef mystery.

[QUOTE] He's hard core. The gun jammed but that didn't faze him, he fixed it then kept shooting. He was brazen, cool, calm, and collected while gunning down a man in midtown with people around. Despite cameras everywhere and a national focus, he's still at large.

This guy is a pro.

Yes. The writing in the shell casings is to divert suspicion from the wife.

Per R39, R113 and others, I really wonder if this is actually "denied claim outrage." It makes for fantastic headlines of evil CEOS and insurers and class warfare - and it brings terrible insurance practices to light regardless of what the motive is. But, I agree it could all be a distraction. An upset colleague, the wife, or some other non-insurance coverage related person.

r110, all those CCTVs record 24/7 in NYC.

Couple that with facial recognition software, and they will find video of him at his last birthday party.

It is only the processing time...

Please start assassinating the CEOs of banks and corporations next! Kthnxbye

I'm all in for Evangelical Billionaires.

Leo, Crow, the freak who owns Home Depot, the Freak who own Hobby Lobby,

Frightened CEOs are tooling up. They’re hiring bodyguards.

From what I hear Elon already has a private Secret Service.

Good luck, chumps

Sweet! More, please.

If the wife did arrange this? I'll send her chocolate and flowers at prison.

R130, considering how $$$rich$$$ they are, that 10k reward is pathetic.

[quote]video of him at his last birthday party

Pics please.

I agree. He clearly wasn’t very wel liked

[quote] the freak who owns Home Depot

Bernie Marcus died about a month ago and is roasting in hell.

R121, I think he favors the Boston bomber a bit. Similar coloring, big nose, BDF.

R131, No doubt. Elon could buy all the Swiss Guards AND Vatican City.

DNA test results could be mere days away in evidence connected to the shooter who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, The Post has learned.

The DNA samples being processed were taken from a water bottle believed to have been dropped by the masked gunman as he fled from shooting Thompson outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown, as well as bullets from the scene, sources said.

A Starbucks coffee cup that the shooter potentially used is also being processed for DNA evidence, according to sources.

He was spotted on video minutes before the shooting buying two water bottles and PowerBars from a nearby Starbucks, sources have said.

Remember he also checked out then checked back in the next day at that hostel.

He shoulda disguised himself for the event. A wig, a fake nose, something. He could have also faked being lame at the Hostel. Use a cane or something.

I hope he left the country. And honestly, if they know his trip originated in Atlanta then they will probably know his name soon if they don't already. IMO you'd see an older guy with a cane and a limp getting on a bus in ATL, arriving in NYC and going to a hostel. He ditches the cane, shoots the guy, then runs for it. He gets rid of his disguise in Central Park, and changes his shoes and jacket and puts on a baseball cap, and strolls away. Hails a cab goes to the airport international terminal, and he is outa here.

CEO Shooter shouldn't be compared to that little Boston Marathon bomber shitbag. He killed innocents, including kids. He was a terrorist.

r65, haven't we all fucked an assassin at some point?

[quote] And honestly, if they know his trip originated in Atlanta then they will probably know his name soon if they don't already.

I don’t follow. They know which bus he got off of, so of course they know the bus’s route. How does that help identify him? Anyone can haul their ass to a bus station in Atlanta.

Is Oleebia on the case yet?

She only does sex stuff.

He seems rich. Good skin and teeth, corrective orthodontia, and $1500 sneakers.

r113, that was my first thought. And since that nasty New York "news"paper reported that he and his wife lived apart, I think we are right!

He looks like a foreigner.

😂 These cops don’t have anything. That “DNA evidence” will probably turn out to be bullshit, too.

[QUOTE] A gun purchase in Connecticut that the authorities were investigating this week turns out to have no connection to the shooting, a senior law enforcement official said. The official said the purchaser of the weapon, which resembled the gun used to kill Thompson, has been identified and is not a suspect.

HCFMH.

Weird. I just started binging Mr. Robot this week. This feels very much like that show has become real life.

after he got off the bike in central park, he was seen getting in a cab going 100 blocks to a bus station. He's gone with the wind! No longer in NYC!

R155 what do you think of Mr. Robot? Despite its critical acclaim I could never get into it.

There's a storm coming, Mr. Wayne.

Mr robot got boring real fast. that guy is so boring and mumbles

Tell me about the 1500.00 sneakers? What designer? Bottega? Dior? Rick Owens?

I love bougie fashion-

he used cash. smart!

he did not work alone. I mean, that bike was placed there for his escape or did he place it there ahead of time? anyone seen any video? did he unlock the bike?

R160 Pardon, $1050 sneakers. Hermes calfskin, apparently.

He looks like Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed.

[quote]...shit he wrote on the bullet casings. Deliberate misdirection. The guy was a hired gun and he wants police to believe he’s the aggrieved family member of some dead UHC policyholder.

Why would the wife want him killed? To end her gravy train? Collect the life insurance? 'Cause no cop has ever figured that one out.

I can see the possibilities of it being an aggrieved coworker or someone the chubby CEO rhetorically fucked, but premeditated murder like this usually requires significant motivation, so the list of people of interest in this regard is short (well, shorter than the list of people who'd been impacted by insurance coverage denial).

Here's an idea: maybe the killer wasn't the surviving spouse, sibling or parent lost to UHC's greed, but was [italic]hired[/italic] by the spouse, sibling or parent of the dead insured, and wanted to make sure that the message came through loud and clear hence the engraved bullet casings. Moreover, isn't engraving bullet casings something that requires specialized machinery and skill? I know if I tried to engrave a bullet, it'd end up going off in my face. And if I took the bullets to my local engraver...

So the killer is a person of color aka POC?

[quote] Why would the wife want him killed? To end her gravy train? Collect the life insurance? 'Cause no cop has ever figured that one out.

You’re so right. All the police shows and movies that say “it’s always the spouse” have alerted murderous spouses across the country that murder is no longer an option.

He and his wife have lived separate lives for several years. They live a mile from each other and have, I believe, two sons. I can't imagine why the wife would want to end that situation. I'm sure she has a very affluent life.

If he was going to on his way to jail for insider trading he’d be worth more dead than alive.

Anyone checked the alibi of the soft, butch sous chef?

R145, "They." The Boston Marathin bombers were two brothers. BTW, "Patriots Day" is a terrific movie of that incident. Mark Wahlberg is great as the lead.

Why aren’t they divorced? What if she wanted one and he didn’t? Maybe she wants to remarry and would not get any alimony but is still the beneficiary on his life insurance. Haven’t you watch any crime shows?

I keep seeing a minor bit of misinformation in this thread. The bus trip did originate in Atlanta but at this time the police don’t know when or where the shooter boarded the bus. He may or may not have boarded in Atlanta, and if he didn’t then he could have gotten on at any stop between there and NYC.

It would seem that as all pervasive as all that video surveillance is, there weren’t enough cameras to see where his trip originated.

See, he shoulda took the cab to a restaurant, nothing fancy, and got out. Walks into the restaurant. Goes through it and out the back way, find another cab and gives them the slip. Oh. And change his jacket. If he had one of those reversible jackets it would be easy.

R171 here: "Marathon."

Much like our Denny, Robb Hoodie is another wheeled casualty of the sidewalks of Manhattan.

R173, Well, there is no video (presented to the public) of any of the alleged 9/11 hijackers boarding the flights that were weaponized (the only video is of Atta boarding a plane at the airport prior to Boston Logan).

R177, 9/11 was a long time ago and itself was responsible for major changes in transportation security.

they found his backpack.

New York police officers on Friday found a backpack in Central Park that they believe was carried by the man who fatally shot the UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson, according to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation.

Crime scene technicians photographed and collected evidence in the undergrowth late Friday afternoon as they searched for the distinctive bag the gunman had worn early Wednesday morning. They were also searching for the weapon he used: a pistol that appeared to be fitted with a silencer.

One official said that the contents of the backpack for now remain unknown, and it would be taken directly to a crime lab.

The technicians entered a wooded area in the southern end of the park to photograph and collect evidence, including what appeared to be clothing and a heavy object, placing them into bags as street lamps and Christmas lights flickered on throughout the park.

It was unclear if the items were connected to the gunman, but the location was along what might have been a potential escape route as he cycled through Central Park after the shooting early Wednesday morning.

The site was near the 65th Street transverse bridge, a pedestrian and biker walkway on Center Drive. As the sun set and temperatures dipped below freezing late Friday afternoon, nearly two dozen officers gathered around the Chess & Checkers House Visitor Center, sipping coffee while guarding an area of undergrowth off the walking path.

Tourists and park visitors passed by as officers searched trash cans, grates, storm drains and leaf piles near the beach volleyball courts and visitor center. The officers worked with park employees to inspect locked storage containers.

SO you hide an empty duffle bag in the park. Army green. Maybe a camo pattern. You transfer contents from backpack to duffle, then set the backpack on fire or you pour Clorox bleach all over the interior of the backpack. Destroying any trace evidence. You are now wearing different clothes, carrying a duffle bag and look nothing like the shooter.

They’re saying he may not have used an ordinary gun.

[QUOTE] Joseph Kenny, the chief detective, said that investigators are looking into the possibility that the gunman used what’s known as a veterinary gun, a larger firearm used on farms and ranches. “If an animal has to get put down, the animal can be shot without” the weapon causing a large noise, Kenny said.

R182, using a veterinary gun: effective AND insulting. The killer keeps racking up the style points.

[Quote]I want to know how they figured out where he stayed and how he got to NYC. Creepy that they know.

Since his image was all over the news do you think maybe someone at the hostel recognized him and alerted authorities?

Did he get lost heading toward the Ramble?

🎶"Don't go in the bushes. Don't go!"

I blew the hot assassin in Central Park!

He came too fast even though I was muttering, "Delay! DENY!"

so did he use a silencer or not?

The Chief of Detectives with the NYPD Joseph Kenny has revealed that they believe the assassin is either a disgruntled ex-employee or an angry client.

Killer cutie, if you're reading this, you can take shelter here with me. I'm in Canada so you'll be safe from the heat of the FBI and all the other alphabet orgs.

Hostel where UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson’s suspected killer stayed flooded with reviews — some calling them ‘narcs’ for cooperating

[QUOTE] so did he use a silencer or not?

They’re not sure, R187. They don’t really know anything, to be honest.

Point taken, r178. Very true observation.

I wonder what he’s doing right now.

157: It's my second attempt at getting into Mr. Robot. I watched the first couple of episodes years ago and it didn't grab me, but the premise of rich assholes being taken down by the little guy feels very timely these days and I'm quite enjoying it.

The narrative quirk where the main character addresses the audience because he thinks we are just one of his, many, many delusions is fun. Turns out he is actually quite delusional, which let to some surprise reveals at the end of the first season that I did not see coming.

I recommend it if you enjoy watching smart crazy people make life miserable for rich evil fuckers.

People would not praise this heinous act if this assassin wasn't so hot

The wife is a key suspect, regardless of what law enforcement is saying publicly.

All this alarm and 24/7 law enforcement and media attention to a slain insurance bigwig; you'd think he was a missing blonde White damsel!

Meanwhile, it's Friday night and NYC's hospital emergency rooms will be filled all weekend with un- and under-insured victims having been torn, damaged and mutilated. Newsworthy? Guess not.

R195, Speak for yourself.

Which one of you bitches did this?

I love u R28

Is it a woman? Are we going to solve another Jamyra "murderbutch" Galmon case?

I've read through so many of these threads and postings I'm getting confused. OK. We had video of the killing. Then the cops track the guy to starbucks and to Central Park and out of the park into a cab. But how did they discover he stayed at the hostel? I know they must have said, but I forgot.

R199 if you notice, the jacket the smiling Starbucks guy has on has two pockets. The picture of the masked shooter there's only one pocket. How d o they know it's the same guy?

I'm wondering about the backpack. What happened to the backpack?

R195 That is 100% true. Fuckability counts for a lot in our society.

The soft butch sous chef has a cast iron alibi.

This is going to be a HOT one. I can feel it. Dark brown hair. Beautiful smile. Nice build..I cannot wait for him to get caught....

Foreign assassins don't leave fingerprints on water bottles. This guy isn't a criminal genius. He's just been lucky. Like the U of Idaho Killer. That (alleged) killer walked around for 6 weeks being secretly watched by the authorities while they collected evidence and then cuffed him.

This is Jake’s brave comeback Oscar to lose

Horseshit r195. The entire internet shrugged, laughed or applauded at the news of the shooting. Health insurance CEOs are serial killers of the people they rob. The worst kind of parasite. Nobody likes them

4 days later and the guy is still at large. Members of the public are probably providing food and lodging to assist his escape. This is what NYC’s joke of a Mayor had to say:

[quote] Mayor Eric Adams said in a television interview on NY1 that he was not worried that the suspect had not been caught after 48 hours: “We’re on the right track. We’re going to bring this person to justice.” He added: “This person was fully masked, and we used good old-fashioned police work to come up with the picture you have.”

Questions I would like answers to, among others:

Where did he go in between the two times he checked in to the hostel? What time did he leave the second time he checked out? What kind of ID did he provide (even if fake)? What kind of accent did he have? Did they interview anyone who sat next to him on the bus?

[Quote] Foreign assassins don't leave fingerprints on water bottles. This guy isn't a criminal genius.

Who said foreign assassins are criminal geniuses, Rose?

Hope this isn’t paywalled.

Could he be the modern day D. B. Cooper?

I've said this on the main thread, but the chin at r220 looks like a prosthetic. It juts out and there appears to be an outline around the bottom.

Looking at the photos a bit more, I just realized the person of interest actually looks quite feminine. Odd, right?

Have the police checked Elliot Page's alibis?

-Assassin looks like the living embodiment of the popular Guy Fawkes mask to me.

-This happened in my old neighborhood! I would have been on my way to work that early.

-This took a network of people to pull off. Assassin only waited 30 minutes for ceo to appear. This was a definite hit job.

-I have UHC. It used to be great insurance but it has been increasingly difficult to get my medicine since 2019. I sometimes have to spend hours on the phone to someone in Mumbai named Jack or Annie with a impenetrable accent tell me repeatedly that my input really matters to them but I'm fucked. I understand the outrage when a ceo uses AI to determine the fate of a loved one. Might as well consult a Magic 8 Ball until AI reaches a singularity and murders us all. I feel bad for the people who loved the ceo butthe unimaginable cruelty of the wealthy class is always going to get punished in the end. Read history. This might just be the beginning as the wealth gap widens under the Musk presidency.

That’s right. 😁

The FBI has joined the case. Bad news for our handsome assassin.

Maybe this is someone who was angry about lack of coverage for gender reassignment. Also, look at the jacket in both photos. Looks like two different jackets, and the person who is masked is not the same. It also occurs to me that he had an accomplice.

R235

There's a 4th explanation, r237? Nobody has such a prominent cheekbone. (I meant to refer to r220.)

Russian military intelligence is carrying out a range of activities to destabilise Ukrainian ally countries. Yesterday there was an explosion at an apartment building near The Hague. There have been explosions of DHL packages in Germany and the UK in recent weeks. Assassinations of Putin's opponents are common in Russia, and there were the two attempts on Trump. This hit may have been essentially firing a warning shot at other senior executives. It may have little to do with healthcare and nothing to do with some insurance greviance.

Possible cause here. A United Health subsidiary was victim of a major ransom ware attack in March. Was the hit payback for a refusal to pay ransom?

[Quote]the suspected ransomware attack on Change Healthcare, a unit of insurance giant UnitedHealth Group's Optum division, "the most significant and consequential incident of its kind against the U.S. health care system in history." While doctors' practices, hospital systems, and pharmacies struggle to find workarounds, the attack is exposing the health system's broad vulnerability to hackers, as well as shortcomings in the Biden administration's response.

[Quote]Health care leaders including state Medicaid directors have called on the Biden administration to treat the Change attack similarly to the pandemic — a threat to the health system so severe that it demands extraordinary flexibility on the part of government insurance programs and regulators.

[Quote]Beyond the money matters — critical as they are — providers and others say they lack basic information about the attack. UnitedHealth Group and the American Hospital Association have held calls and published releases about the incident; nevertheless, many still feel they're in the dark.

[quote] I’m thinking he’s from the republic of Georgia.

Yes, they already said he caught a bus from Atlanta.

Why is Biden wasting so many resources on this case? There are thousands of unsolved murders but because this guy gets the FBI looking for his killer?/

It's good Bidens dementia ridden old ass will be gone soon

R242 Fuck off, MAGA cunt. Take it to X or "Truth" Social where the idiots over there will think you actually have something useful to say.

R242 I love how these MAGA assholes are so ignorant that they actually think the FBI goes to Biden to get approval to investigate murders.

R243, go to bluesky for hive mind circle jerk.

R245 Got kicked off Bluesky, eh, MAGA cunt?

R246, I wouldn't use bluesky any more than I would use "truth social " whatever that is.

I am blown away by the idea of this being orchestrated by Putin. If that is true, holy fucking SHITE. It does fit with his methodology. And if it was him, this assassin is already safely back inside Mother Russia. And if it was Russia, our government will never ever admit it either. Just WOOOW. This is how you start a civil war, yes???? I say yes. Which means there might be more coming?

Russians favor poisoning for assassinations.

This wasn't Putin. He's got his hands full trying to seize Ukraine with a jenky military, 50 year old equipment, deserters, etc.

NEWSFLASH: Cops are idiots.

They can't find someone who shot a person in the middle of NYC?

If you're stupid and barely graduated high school, you join the military. If you fail the military test, you become a cop.

You don't watch enough true crime R263, it might take four decades and several generations of cops but sometimes they get their man.

At least this gave the media something to obsess over for a few days instead of all of Trump's nutcase Cabinet members.

They are not ever going to find this man.

[Quote]Russians favor poisoning for assassinations.

Nope. They use a variety of methods, including blowing up residential buildings and blaming it on "Czechen terrorists", garroting, poisoning, shooting, and pushing out of windows.

Good. Do more CEOs. Can we start a gofundme?

They also use car bombs.

While R258 types hysterical, he's correct that Russia may be planning more assassinations of US business leaders. It's about instilling fear and destabilisation in the population.

r271, or downing planes.

[quote]It's about instilling fear and destabilisation in the population.

"The population" seems neither fearful nor destabilized by this killing.

Downing planes, sure. That too.

Here's a run down of Russian intelligence assassinations including shootings in the head, including in the street.

The shooter is FSB, or a Czechen mercenary.

[quote]Russia may be planning more assassinations of US business leaders. It's about instilling fear and destabilisation in the population.

Russia doesn't understand the US population very well. The people are loving this and want more CEOs taken out. This might actually unite the population.

The fact that that is so indicates Russia's long-standing attempt to destabilise the US is working well R277. Hit jobs in the street are not something to cheer on.

I resent the implication that an intelligent killer has to be foreign. We haven’t fallen THAT low.

It’s not Putin. Sheesh.

And by "population" r273 must mean "the population comprising wealthy CEOs."

Nobody else is being "destabilized" or is "fearful."

It's just that the killer was so in shape and svelte. Hard to believe he was an American.

You should see the guys at my gym, or walk around LA or NY.

I was in Minneapolis recently and I was lusting after all the hot Midwestern corn-fed guys. Fit and gorgeous.

Excellent nipple placement, r291!

I have Blue Cross Anthem, so this worked out well for me, if I need surgery, I will remain anesthetized until it’s over.

If the ceo had fallen out a window, that would be Ruzzia. Russian assassins are rarely as efficient as this killer was.

R296, Anthem wasn't limiting anesthesia per se; it planned to limit the time for which insurance would pay for the anesthesiologist.

After that time limit, you the patient would pay out of pocket for the anesthesiologist's continuing to minister to you.

AKA, Anything For a Buck. Anthem has since thought better of it.

[quote] Anthem has since thought better of it.

I wonder why.

The whole policy was stupid because anesthesiologists don't control the length of time surgery takes. Why should they be financially penalized because your surgeon takes longer than average to do a procedure?

The patient would make up the insurance gap.

R299, and people say violence doesn’t get results.

Anthem will simply charge more elsewhere and stay mum about it this time.

So, let’s just pretend for a moment that this was Putin. If yes….he could indeed create a French Revolution right here on US soil by doing more of this. I think it’s quite fascinating. And no, I feel absolutely zero sympathy over this. If anything, it’s giving me life and hope again LMFAO!!!

We sure fuck know that there is *no one* in our government who has our backs now. They’ve all turned on us. Fucking Fetterman and Ro. They’re all traitors. So…I’ll take whatever justice I can get now, I don’t fucking care who gives it or by what means. Bring it, MFers!!! (No political violence kids, I do NOT advocate that). But goddamn, it’s *refreshing* that people are waking up to how hard they’re getting fucked by capitalism.

Why couldn't he work his magic on Trump?

Please. As long as Putin has Musk in his pocket, and Vance, he won't need Trump. I will bet you a dollar Trump won't last until the midterms.

This isn't even the professional model mask.

R304 please describe the "French Revolution" that Putin could create on US soil by killing more CEOs of health care companies. I'm pretty sure that there were no health care companies with associated CEOs in pre-revolutionary France.

R304 sounds like they've indulged in many, many drinky-poos this evening.

The words on the bullets, the Monopoly money...sorry he made dumb mistakes, but he indeed has style.

It's not the Monopoly MONEY. It's about the monopoly of the healthcare system. He was making a point. Nice twist. But this dreamboat left his DNA all over the Hostel. His identity is imminent.

[QUOTE]But this dreamboat left his DNA all over the Hostel. His identity is imminent.

Why are you assuming his DNA is on file somewhere? I know there may be familial identification through heritage/genetics sites, but it's an infinitesimally small chance to get a hit.

If he is foreign then finding his fingerprints will be important as those will be on record.

It’s funny how so many of you are so hung up on proving that the killers is (as you like to call it) “foreign”.

Why do you think that that is?

R332 why?

R334 Homeland security collect non US citizens fingerprints when they enter the country.

Like a foreign assassin would enter the US legally?

[quote]It’s funny how so many of you are so hung up on proving that the killers is (as you like to call it) “foreign”.

Americans think dark eyebrows = swarthy = ethic = college roomate's hairy Armenian-American sister.

He looks very American to me. The only thing that gives any pause is his clothing which could pass unnoticed on a street in Europe. The Tommy HIlfiger brand jacket found in the dumped backpack is an interesting choice in that it's a downscale brand in the US but enjoys more brand respect in Europe. But grey is much more an American taste than black or color in Europe.

But his clothing choices were possibly chosen for his mission, to look presentable enough not to look suspiciously out of place, yet anonymous enough not to attract attention. The grey hooded jacket, the (possibly) 2016-2019 model Peak Design grey backpack and the grey clothing all were good conscious choices to fiut in without drawing attention. Knowing he would be caught on camera, he must have been smart enough to consider his clothes, picking similar but not identical things )similar grey jackets but with different numebrs of pockets and small details) to cast doubt that the person in one phot matched that in another, the ability to ditch a jacket that may have have powder residue from the shooting, etc... Even in picking throwaway clothes, you can see some aesthetic choices, conscious or not.

R333 Trust me. He's from a small foreign faction.

Those foreign faction people know how to commit crimes and never get caught.

He has ethics.

[quote] No political violence kids, I do NOT advocate that)

Killing CEOs for political reasons is political violence.

I'm gonna burst the bubble. I'm gonna say the picture of the hot guy in the cab is not him. Someone pointed out in one of these threads that the outfit the guy wore was so non descript he would blend in with hundreds of others because that hoodie jacket is something almost every other young person in NYC is wearing right now. It's not distinctive. And the paper mask is silly. He wouldn't wear a paper mask.

I own exactly the same backpack. His has good taste.

Wearing a paper mask in the cab would not raise any suspicion/attention. Keeping his face covered otherwise would.

His what has good taste, R342?

Look-alike contest

TMZ is SHOCKED!

I’ll be really impressed if it turns out the real killer showed up at the contest like Timmo did.

Moron? Would a moron announce that they had the killer’s name but don’t want to announce it because they don’t want to tip him off that they know who he is? That’s multi-dimensional chess, my friend.

i can even say from what city, I bet he is from Medellin. Those eyes are 100% colombian from medellin.

I say it’s Andrew Garfield at R319.

Far from it, R349. Here's a video of the former FBI chief literally laughing at the idiocy of Adams because he's now given info to the killer about what they supposedly have. And, my friend, Adams couldn't play checkers, much less chess.

IT'S JAKE GYLLENHAAL!!!

Learn to recognize sarcasm.

My sarcasm was not the problem, honey.

What motive could a foreigner have? If he was paid to do it, then look at the shareholders who lost money due to Thompson.

Meanwhile, Adams is the Mayor of NYC and r352 has been molded to a chair in his grandmother's basement for the last 12 years.

He's rather swarthy. Could he be one of those Arabs?

Your delivery was, hunty R356.

He does not have a semitic nose he has a nose more Indian (not from India.)

I think he is a former employee. He probably worked in their call center and got one phone call too many from an irate customer whose claim was denied.

[QUOTE] What motive could a foreigner have?

The wife hired him, R357. And she chose well. If she hired some American dork, he’d probably be in cuffs by now.

The crime boss Victor Sweet broke it all down for us in the film Four Brothers, after his henchmen got lazy and hired some local killers for a job:

[QUOTE] Out-of-town shooters. That's what I said. I remember hearing myself say, "Out-of-town shooters." You know what? You don't pay a hoe to fuck you. You pay her to leave. What do you pay out-of-town shooters to do? You pay them to get the hell back out of town. That's why I asked for out-of-town shooters. What'd I get? In-town shooters. Someone decided to hire in-town shooters. You know what else I got for my money? In-town police. In-town trouble.

[quote] He probably worked in their call center and got one phone call too many from an irate customer whose claim was denied.

He’s wearing $1,000 Hermès sneakers and is carrying a $300 backpack. I don’t think he worked in a call center.

Dot or feather?

Casino or call center?

R363, Those could be knock offs. He's in NYC. He could have bought the backpack on the streets during a previous visit. Because he planned this and it clearly wasn't his first visit to NYC. He did recon.

[quote] He’s wearing $1,000 Hermès sneakers

Has that been established, R365? That's a new one for me. And they didn't find the bike?

He will be an inspiration to many more. So many of these school shooters, mall shooters etc., were inspired by the killers who acted and made a name for themselves. To be regarded as a hero will bring out a new crop of shooter.

[quote] i can even say from what city, I bet he is from Medellin. Those eyes are 100% colombian from medellin.

It seems pretty clear now that while our hot suspect is impressively cold-blooded, he's not a 'professional' in the sense that this is his living. Somebody in all the churn said the wife is part Columbian? Those gals are hardcore. It appears she's okay financially but if he dies now she gets everything and is free to remarry without losing alimony. Flirty assassin could be a relative or boyfriend. The bullet inscriptions were a decoy. The first thing out of the wife's mouth was he was getting threats, 'something about coverage'. Another diversion? He probably was getting threats but law enforcement always says those are the people that don't usually follow through.

I hope it's not the wife, so boring.

[QUOTE] i can even say from what city, I bet he is from Medellin. Those eyes are 100% colombian from medellin.

Hilarious that I’m watching a young dark-eyed Colombian stud on there right now.

What alimony, R370? They weren't divorced. And those words on the bullets were no decoy.

He looks Italian to me

The wife is part Colombian? Where did that come from? Goddamn, she went and called up the cartel back home and told them to send her a sicario. She’d had enough. 😂

The engraved bullets and the Monopoly money do scream deflection. It’s like the killers who send messages written in letters cut out from magazines. Virtually no killer actually does that. It’s usually a spouse trying to pose as a serial killer or hitman.

R372 No alimony yet. She's thinking about her future. I doubt either one of them were going to stay single the rest of their lives.

But yeah, it's not a likely scenario.

I love that the found backpack contained Monopoly money (and a Tommy Hilfiger jacket).

Quite the joker.

This story is incredible.

Do people not realize a wife gets alimony only when she's divorced?

It’s not far-fetched to think they were in the process of getting divorced if they have been living apart for some time. And what is the one thing that holds up a divorce? Fighting over money.

But they weren't divorced, R380. You get alimony upon divorce.

Also, how does one get alimony payments from a dead man?

It appears to be Karen Carpenter, circa 1971.

You don’t. You keep everything. Plus the life insurance.

R382 She doesn't WANT the alimony, she wants everything. What's so hard for you to understand?

Walk-by shootings happen all the time in Chicago, Philly and parts of New York, likely for a similar season--guy involved in a shady business pissed off the wrong person.

Of course, those shootings don't get anywhere near the attention or police resources.

He's Italian. Or some kind of Spanish.

I wonder what he intended to do with the Monopoly money. He didn’t appear to be rattled after Thompson was on the ground. He trotted across the street at a pace no different than anybody would who was out and about on a chilly morning. It’d have been so poetic to have sprinkled it around the body — but that could alienate a jury that would prefer to see a broken heart as his motive, rather than viewing him as a killer making a morbid joke or accusation.

If leaving it in the bag and letting people come to their own conclusions was the whole point — okay, but I’d like him to tell me about it as I drive him to my family’s cabin where he can rest up while letting the heat die down.

R385, if you can read, alimony was specifically floated upthread as something that would be avaiable to her. Got it?

[QUOTE] She doesn't WANT the alimony, she wants everything. What's so hard for you to understand?

Or maybe she wanted him dead. If she feels like she helped him get everything he has, why only take a piece of it through alimony when he’ll get another (younger) woman to spend the rest on? She could’ve said fuck that, I’d rather kill him. The money might have been secondary to her possessiveness over him.

iI's always the wife with you DL queens.

Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, Cicero, Lipschitz.

I’m sure the police are also looking at the wife. On TV they say the spouse is always the top suspect until they can be eliminated.

Here, they have the mystery of how the killer knew exactly where the victim would be at 6:45 AM. The conference didn’t begin until 8:00 AM and the Hilton is a huge hotel occupying a full city block.

What a depressing letdown R390's scenerio would be, should that be the motivation behind the killing. Pathetic and depressing. No one will care about our Hoodie Bae or his frau ex-wife's whining.

R394, try not give too much creedence to the armchair DL detectives here.

A non-political motive can’t be excluded. The killing was carefully planned so the words on the shells may or may not be sincere.

R163. No. The policy considerations that made private insurance necessary were achingly obvious in my first post to anyone who can read. You’re just THAT stupid .

How can I be more of a douche to you? Please let me know. You are a human stain who delights in the murder of other human belongs.

r397 you can stop now. All you do is call posters you disagree with stupid.

It's the wife.

I don’t just call them stupid. I call them morally reprehensible above all. But they are very, very stupid.

[quote]Do people not realize a wife gets alimony only when she's divorced?

Not alimony as such, but it would be crazy to assume (unless her salary were in the same neighborhood of $10.6M/year) that she wasn't receiving regular support money from the estranged husband. Nor can she collect alimont from a dead man, but he did die married to her still which comes with considerable and difficult to challenge financial benefits, inlcuding what is likely to be a hefty life insurance settlement.

She lived in the house that they had previously occupied together, so it's likely that that was still joint property, and it seems likely that she received regular payments as an estranged (not divorced) wife.

Her situation was effectively at the whim of her husband as the house would not likely be only in her name, nor any support she received the subject of legal contracts that would remain in effect upon his death. Unless her salary were somewhere approaching a similar level as his, her fortune was somewhat at his whim without a divorce settlement to establish the terms.

R370 Maybe it's me, maybe it's the effects of the separation, maybe it's that her emotion doesn't come through in a news report quoting her, but nothing I've read (that the wife supposedly said) made me think she's THAT upset about things.

Whether or not she thought he had it coming (mistress, fights over money, etc.) she was not wailing and rending her garments. The quotes were more like, "Yeah, I think he was getting some threats" and she just didn't sound like those threats bothered her (or him) that much.

And the wife said she didn't know anything about his death until a relative (sister?) e-mailed her the story. She didn't bother to call?

I'm not saying she's guilty, but publicly, anyway, she seems less interested in his death than most of America.

R402, no one HAS to reveal their emotions on television to prove their innocence and, besides, we don’t know what else was going on. He was under criminal investigation.

Exactly!

What makes you think his DNA is all over the hostel? I've never stayed in one but I'm sure lots of people go thru there and I doubt they clean very well, meaning there could be hundreds of prints, etc in that room.

Welp. So far the cops do not have the gun. The weapon used in the shooting. They do not have the bike and there is doubt that it was in fact an electric bike even though CNN keeps saying it was. They believe the bus he was on came from Atlanta, but do not know whether his personal trip originated in Atlanta. They have some photos they claim are of the shooter but everything from his bone structure (nose) to his eyes and brow is being disputed. Height too. They were not able to get the DNA they hoped for from the "evidence" he left behind and the single partial fingerprint on the bottle is smudged. They're hoping the public will claim him and name him because of the reward. My opinion? He is not an American. He was hired. The inscriptions on the bullet casings now seem to me to be a feint. I'm beginning to consider the wife even though at first I didn't. If not the wife someone who really wanted him dead. So if I'm working this case, I ask the question, "Cui bono?" Who benefits. That is my starting point. And I'd be going over his life with a microscope. Because the biggest piece of evidence is him, the d ead CEO.

I think he was in the military, he's been in such situations before...

I lean toward Israeli...those IDF men are hot as hell

Did the killed CEO have a kept young bf /lover/hired twink ho, that got pissed-off over money denied or cheating, and bf enacted his final revenge?

Bran should have bought that young fellow a new Mercedes.

Sure, gashy R441, whatever you say. Now go off and learn to read and stop derailing the thread.

We can all read just fine, you're the one with the pissy grammar fixation. DL isn't a work document or thesis, we type our stream of consciousness thoughts in a conversational style and many of us do voice-to-text. Get with the 21st Century.

The assassin has beautiful eyes. I grant him that.

Go away, R443. Stop derailing the thread with your drivel. Conversational style doesn't include grammar and spelling errors, stupid.

No discovery of the bike yet?

[quote]Conversational style doesn't include grammar and spelling errors, stupid.

You are really going to die on that hill?

You can die in a grease fire, R447.

Back to the thread.

r448 have you ever been diagnosed with OCD? You sure seem like the type.

r448 let's get back to your obvious mental instability.

So you're interested in arguing instead of returning to the thread, R450?

There's been nothing from anyone who came into contact with him that he had any accent. Not sure where this foreign assassin idea came about.

Xenophobia, R452 - it's acceptable these days.

Or it's the idea that only a foreign killer could pull this off, R453.

It's that he isn't a fat slob.

any mention of his height?

he doesn't look that tall to me.

I read 6'1" in the first thread. As far as the bicycle goes, they're never going to find it. Citibike said it wasn't one of theirs. Are there other rentals? All the guy had to do was leave a bike unlocked anywhere and it will be gone in a matter of minutes.

Per CNN:

[QUOTE]The detective said at a Friday briefing there is no evidence the shooter and CEO had any prior interactions or the shooting was related to Thompson’s personal life, according to audio of the briefing the NYPD provided to CNN.

So this sounds like the wife has been ruled out.

But there’s no evidence of anything right now, so how is she ruled out?

Mama’s mussy is as moist as a snack cake!

Peter Young is an American animal rights activist that has the second longest record as a fugitive, seven years. He was finally captured in the UK. (He didn't kill anyone, he freed animals in fur farms.) T

He says it's odd and unwise to do quirky signature things like inscribing bullets or leaving monopoly money. It indicates you're more interested in attention than than doing the deed, Going to Starbucks is really reckless. All this seems to indicate you're more interested in attention than doing the deed.

Sorry for the sloppy c&p.

Whatever, R464. Godspeed, Boo.

R466 Fuck off, cunt.

Gee, gashy, R467, sounds like you need to weash that sand out of your vadge.

R468 Oh, dear,

R464, I'm inclined to agree with those observations. I didn't mind the monopoly money so much, but the Starbucks was reckless.

So far they still have no bike or gun. Does anyone know whether he wore gloves? Seems like he would.

[quote] Oh, dear,

Oh, dear right back, R469. And you still need to douche STAT.

Do you guys really think law enforcement has a person of interest. I wonder why they won’t reveal him yet.

Cuz they stupid

R471 Take your own advice little missy, you're NOT fine, you're in denial.

Well, R474, I bow to your expertise when it comes to knowing all about STDs.

R472 - Law enforcement is under tremendous political pressure to get this individual. I can't remember the exact statistics, but as the hours/days add up that a person hasn't been found, the likelihood of that happening drops like a brick.

As a side note, what happened with that Post article about them having someone? It's the Post and they are useless most of the time, so it's not surprising it turned out to be nothing.

R476, the NY Post seems to have good contacts with the police; their local crime reporting is often pretty good.

Except when it isn’t

ABC News reporting a man being held for questioning in Altoona, PA and that he has a gun similar to the one used in the killing of Thompson.

Pennsylvania. Not AGAIN!

I hope our boo wasn’t apprehended in shitty Pennsylvania of all places!!!

Maybe he just provided the weapon (or it's someone totally unrelated) and our boo is gone like the wind in another country. At least I hope so.

Has Pennsylvania become the Florida of the northeast?

It’s been Alabama for quite some time— the middle third.

No, that would be New Hampshire

Pennsylvania isn't really the Northeast

CNN reporting that the person being questioned was traveling by bus and also had a number of false IDs on him.

But does he have a killer smile and bedroom eyes?

A man is being held for questioning in connection with the killing of a health insurance executive last week, according to three law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation.

The man was identified based on a tip from someone who spotted him in a McDonald’s restaurant, one of the officials said, and is being held in Altoona, Pa. One of the law enforcement officials said that the man had a gun, a silencer and false identification cards similar to those they believe the killer used in New York.

New York police investigators were on their way to Altoona, about 280 miles from the city, according to one of the other law enforcement officials.

Arrested in Altoona?

I find it hard to believe he would be dumb enough to go to McDonald's when there is a massive manhunt going on.

It was fun while it lasted.

Closing in

But being caught with the murder weapon is not a sign of bad judgment?

[QUOTE]I find it hard to believe he would be dumb enough to go to McDonald's when there is a massive manhunt going on.

What a disappointing finish.

Twadry ending.

It ain't over until the canary sings!

The stupid ass still had the gun? Unbelievable.

Altoona has a terrible hospital. Hope he’s not hurt.

What was its order. I'll guess a couple of quarter pounders with cheese, lots of beef, lots of faux-cheese.

You ALWAYS leave the gun and take the cannoli. If the gun is not cold you take it apart and drop the pieces in different locations. Haven't we learned anything from movies??

You are really working overtime to make “our boo” happen, aren’t you, R481?

The gun is not conclusive evidence until ballistics testing confirms. But the fake ID stuff is problematic.

It is a very rare weapon.

Maybe he flirted and smiled again when ordering his meal...

Who’s you dumb boo now, Moses?

The Day of the Jackal: showdown in Altoona.

I'm still reeling from this. How could he be so dumb. The gun and the IDs. He should have never had them anywhere the cops could find them. And for fuck's sake wear a different Jacket with out the damned hoodie.

Why didn't he use the drive through? WTF is wrong with Door Dash?

Maybe he wanted to be caught, but he knew he'd probably be shot and killed if he was caught in New York. His trial will get an insane amount of publicity.

remember, this guy thinks he's smarter than the cops. probably thinks he wont be caught

DL fanboys:

“I am Spartacus!”

“I am Spartacus!”

“I am Spartacus!”

Much better ^^ 👍🏼

R511 needs to keep up with the news.

I guess most on DL were neither this cute when young or ever had any experience waiting in the dark , while armed, waiting to kill someone.

AP reporting that writings critical of the insurance industry were found on the man.

Never mind — I’m late again. This story is moving much too fast!

Uh Oh. UPenn Student.

Check out his Goodreads account...very interesting, especially his review of a Kaczynski book.

Gay (see Insta)? He is going to be a folk hero.

Between this and Trump, Penn’s reputation is ruined.

As if Penn had a reputation other than a dumping ground for finance douchbros

No one who graduated BL or Calvert Hall is the least bit surprised that it might be a Gilman grad.

He’s on the spectrum!

He retweeted this^

So the police really didn't know anything. They were looking in Atlanta, and this guy was in Altoona.

That's clearly the same guy photographed in the NY taxi. Now, sleuths, tell us everything about him. Working class bootstrapper? Autist? He reads, so that's something.

Read the damn threads… we already now his hometown, high school, class ranking, college degrees, fraternity, workplaces and recent residences.

Do your own work.

Whoever said he was Italian was right.

hardeeharhar.

Wow, so he took bus from GA to NY to throw off cops, smart! But not smart enough to dump the weapon!!!

What about his parents??

He's only 26! He's gonna go away for a long time

He’s just another young American nutcase.

Obviously a wrongful arrest - you were all convinced that he was a foreigner who had fled to Canada and thence to Russia or Israel.

Anybody care to admit that they were wrong? Anyone?

He looks like he should be posting on DL not shooting people in the back like a bushwacker, and getting ready for life in prison. Oh that boy will have his dance card filled every night.

Yeah, R535? Well, you know what--that scumbag CEO is still dead.

Awww he loves McDonalds and lion king Such a cutie.

[quote] you were all convinced that he was a foreigner who had fled to Canada and thence to Russia or Israel.

All?

Not me, R538.

Not everyone was convinced, but I don't think many of us thought he was an upper-middle class, US-born Ivy grad. That would be the last demo I'd put him in.

No one had elite expensive private prep school coupled with Ivy League as a first choice for hit man.

Although the Jackal s CV might come somewhat close if we had any idea who the jackal was..

This shooter was *one of them*.

And a very, very hot *one of them*.

He's a fucking idiot!!!

The family also owned a chain of senior rehab facilities. They were milking the system just like UHC

R544, well, not “just like UHC.” They may have been providing healthcare services, which UHC does not.

Milking the system dimwit

Mayor Roberts said a McDonalds employee (not sure from what store) ratted him out!

That employee is outta there the moment they get their 50,000.

And that’s IF they get it. Rewards are reneged upon regularly.

Fair enough, R538 and R539 - "most" - just look at the title of this thread and the number of replies.

He is foreign. He’s Italian American. I understand that Trump intends to deport them.

[QUOTE]They may have been providing healthcare services, which UHC does not.

Actually, apparently they do own physician groups and other healthcare settings.

[quote] Not everyone was convinced, but I don't think many of us thought he was an upper-middle class, US-born Ivy grad.

I thought he was wealthy. He was wearing $1,000 sneakers and carrying an expensive backpack.

[QUOTE] I thought he was wealthy. He was wearing $1,000 sneakers and carrying an expensive backpack.

Yeah, cause nobody lives beyond their means in America.

Wow, he is pretty hot - with a porn name.

He's very stunt-queenish. Like he thinks this is all fun and adorable.

Apparently he was brilliant too. I honestly think it will come out the kid is schizophrenic.

[QUOTE] He's very stunt-queenish. Like he thinks this is all fun and adorable.

He’s a weirdo. This was only sexy if he was a foreign hitman. Now he’s just a nut who threw his life away over nothing.

Mugshot:

That mugshot is fabulous.

Is the Keyboard Detective Agency ever right about anything?

I'd like to learn more about his back injury. Someone on one of these threads posted that a friend said Magione really changed after his surgery. It must have been one hell of an injury -- he has three or four pins in the base of his spine at only 26.

Chronic pain can really mess with people. Who knows what combo of meds he's on that might also affect his psychological functioning. All to be brought up by the defense should this go to trial.

Bryan Kohberger brows

[quote] Yeah, cause nobody lives beyond their means in America.

I didn’t say it was proven, but it’s hardly irrational to believe that someone with expensive clothing has money, and in fact he does.

[QUOTE]Kenny said that police did not have his name prior to Monday and that Mangione had no known prior arrests in the country.

The NYPD got lucky or maybe not? He lingered in the northeast. He had the money and means to leave the U.S. and find his way to a country without an extradition treaty, instead he hung out in a McDonald's carrying incriminating evidence and a manifesto. Come on, he wanted to be caught.

Luigi told the court that he had no drug or mental health problems.

He had $8,000 in US cash, $2,000 in foreign cash, his visa and a Faraday bag with him when he was arrested -- but told the court he didn't know where that money came from and said it may have been planted.

R559, Uh, sous-chef?

R557, Played in the Made-for-TV movie by Aidan Turner.

NY doesn't have the death penalty though PA does. But the fact that he crossed state lines (or some such) does that make it a "federal" crime - and the federal gov't DOES have the death penalty, though I don't know if they really use it anymore.

If it's a federal crime, Trump can pardon him.

Mangione's Honolulu roommate (in a "co-living community") says it's "unfathomable" that the guy he knew did this.

[Quote] Apparently he was brilliant too.

apparently not

[quote] Luigi told the court that he had no drug or mental health problems. He had $8,000 in US cash, $2,000 in foreign cash- but told the court he didn't know where that money came from and said it may have been planted.

I wonder what kind of foreign cash someone "planted on him".

R567, crossing state lines with intent to commit a crime doesn’t automatically elevate something to the status of a federal crime. Every criminal would fight to be tried in federal court if possible, because the judges and prisons are so much better.

R557- He looks gay.

[quote] in a McDonald's carrying incriminating evidence and a manifesto. Come on, he wanted to be caught.

Handsome and college grad. Yup. He wanted attention. Still, he did the right thing

R567 sounds really, really dumb. You’re not tried based on where you were arrested fir chrissake.

Hero

So sad that he has thrown his life away.

I think his life was already thrown away due to his back pain and mother's illness and he wanted to go out like a hero.

Mother's illness?

His mom or your mom, R578?

r580 get fucked

Well he is foreign. He's from Balimore!

Bawlmore!

The contrast between this smarty pants and the dullard sitting at the top of United Healthcare - and we all know he was selected from an undistinguished record owing to his moral flexibility - Wall Street demans psychopaths and narcissists in the C suite, as a rule - is quite jarring. Meritocracy my ass. Idiocracy is the building block of the New Feudalism.

[quote]Well he is foreign. He's from Balimore!

Oh, Penny, he's DREAMY!

He is from Towson not Baltimore. It’s a suburb of Bmore.

Good luck getting pain meds in prison!

To answer my question at r560, his back pain is related to a pinched nerve per linked article and he's been in chronic pain for two years. Isn't 24-26 too young for chronic back problems? Also, more about his Hawaii friends.

Nobody but Ted Cruz thinks the world is worse off without this CEO.

[quote]Mayor Roberts said a McDonalds employee (not sure from what store) ratted him out!

How the hell did she realise it was him???

[QUOTE]the dullard sitting at the top of United Healthcare - and we all know he was selected from an undistinguished record owing to his moral flexibility

Which dullard do you mean? The deceased one or Sir Kitty the CEO of the parent company.?

This is going to be an interesting trial. No doubt his lawyer is going to point out how shitty his insurance company was to him or his mother.

Everyone knows you can’t get back surgery approved until you’ve tried physical therapy and medication for at least 6 weeks consistently. Thems the rules.

I think his problems were going on longer than 6 weeks r593

[QUOTE]Everyone knows you can’t get back surgery approved until you’ve tried physical therapy and medication for at least 6 weeks consistently.

Except you seem to be the last one to know that he posted his post-spinal surgery X-ray on Twitter showing three or four pins in his lower back.

Or that he's had two years of chronic pain from the pinched nerve. This was reported yesterday, yet here you are with irrelevant twaty opinions. Thanks for your effort 👌!

BTW, yes, he's guilty of homicide or manslaughter. How weird is it that two concepts can coexist?

Right winger, Joe Rogan, Elon fan on Twitter.

"Funny thing is the McDonald’s snitch probably doesn’t have health insurance."

Shooter with abs

He had metal pins in his back. So most likely his rage against the CEO is what everyone expected, denial of coverage like so many other Americans.

He's from a very wealthy background, r599. If he has pins in his back then he obviously received health care. He seems to have led an active life and was very mobile and agile when committing murder. There is no justification for his "rage against the CEO", if he even had any. He's a cold-blooded murderer.
