Luigi Mangione's mother said she could 'see him doing' shooting of insurance CEO

When detectives reached out to accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione’s mother after the first photos of the suspect emerged, she said she wasn’t certain it was him – but told investigators the shooting “might be something that she could see him doing,” a New York Police Department official said Tuesday.

Joseph Kenny, NYPD chief of detectives, disclosed the mother’s alleged comment at a news conference announcing Mangione's indictment in the Dec. 4 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione, who was captured at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Dec. 9, has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said. His office is working to bring Mangione to a New York courtroom from a Pennsylvania jail.

Mangione already had been charged with murder. But Bragg added that Thompson’s early morning slaying outside a midtown Manhattan hotel “was a killing that was intended to evoke terror. And we’ve seen that reaction.”

At the news conference, Kenny was asked about some of the tips that police received and steps officers took to run them down.

He said Mangione's mother, Kathleen Mangione, had filed a missing persons report on her son on Nov. 18 in San Francisco.

New York police officers embedded within an FBI task force then got the tip that the missing person in San Francisco, Mangione, might be their suspect and called his mother.

According to the NYPD's Kenny, a San Francisco police sergeant working on the missing case saw the photo of Mangione and reached out to the FBI's San Francisco field office "and said hey, basically, 'I'm working on a missing case. I saw the photograph that was distributed by the NYPD, there bears a resemblance.' That tip was forwarded to us close to 45 hours after the incident took place."

"It was one of four tips that they had received that day, and they were vetting it," Kenny told reporters. "They had a conversation where she didn't indicate that it was her son in the photograph, but she said it might be something that she could see him doing."

The information was going to be passed along to New York detectives assigned to the case the next morning, Kenny said. "But fortunately, we apprehended him before we could act on that."

Mangione's mother could not immediately be reached for comment on Kenny's account.

I'd love to hear from the mother what exactly she has witnessed about Luigi, that she could "see him doing" the shooting.

Someone needs to interview this lady.

I can only imagine the things she knows about him, that prompted her to say this.

by Anonymousreply 8December 18, 2024 2:03 PM

If she could “see” her son doing something like this, then something has been wrong with her son long before this happened.

A few days after his capture, I read that there had been medical issues going on with Luigi that had nothing to do with his back, yet were just as concerning or more concerning - at least to me.

Allegedly, Luigi had been complaining about an eye sight condition called Visual Snow. Basically, it’s like watching an old school television monitor that has turned to a channel where there is static over the programming/scheduled content.

You know who else had a medical history of Visual Snow? Bryan Kohlberger. He’s the former criminology PhD student who murdered those 4 college kids in Moscow, Idaho a few years ago.

by Anonymousreply 10December 18, 2024 2:10 PM

That's fascinating, R9.

I have never heard of "Visual Snow."

I looked it up and found a few interesting points:

[quote] Migraine and migraine with aura are common comorbidities. However, comorbid migraine worsens some of the additional visual symptoms and tinnitus seen in "visual snow" syndrome.

[quote] Psychological side effects of visual snow can include depersonalization, derealization, depression, photophobia, and heliophobia in the individual affected.

[quote] Visual snow does not depend on the effect of psychotropic substances on the brain. Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD), a condition caused by hallucinogenic drug use, is sometimes linked to visual snow, but both the connection of visual snow to HPPD and the cause and prevalence of HPPD are disputed. Most of the evidence for both is generally anecdotal and subject to spotlight fallacy.

[quote] Visual snow has also been correlated with head trauma and infection.

Here’s one article I read previously, mentioning Visual Snow Syndrome.

Reddit also has many threads discussing VSS that aren’t connected to Luigi or Kohlberger.

Obviously, I have no idea if VSS is a contributing factor in order to predict or diagnose ASD, but I find it interesting that 2 very smart, high achieving young men claimed to have this condition , & both went on to commit murder, right around the same age.

It says hallucinogenic drugs may be involved in the development of visual snow. And it's been leaked that Luigi was using magic mushrooms and who knows what else.

Bryan Kohlberger looks batshit crazy schizoid, in the eyes. And I do still think it's possible Luigi may have recently entered a schizoid state himself, despite a youth of high performance functioning.

I wonder what cracks in his personality the mother noticed in HS or college.

Being valictorian of almost any HS requires not just the IQ but the discipline and OCD. It means the student never lets down the preparation because there are 2 or 3 others who are chasing the same goal. One slip up, one mediocre exam, and you lose your position at the top.

STEM majors work hard, even at Ivy League schools which are often cake walks compared to state universities, and where there is grade inflation.

Building that body required discipline, hard work, a bit of OCD.

Overcoming the spine deformity, too.

So what was the straw the broke the camel's back?

It's weird but Schizophrenia shows it's ugly head in a young person in their mid to late 20's. High stress events can be the trigger for it to start showing signs. My theory is his back pain triggered this to come out and the fact that he disappeared off the radar several months before the shooting could have been an early sign he was starting to experience symptoms not fully realized yet.

That's woefully underweight. What stood out to me was the medical section of the MP form. Mom indicated "none" even though he had major spinal surgery recently. Maybe he didn't tell them?

The biggest mystery to me is where was he for 5-6 month doing what? Nobody's come forward saying they rented a room to him or they remember this odd guy who started showing up regularly to their diner/coffee shop/grocery store, whatever, and then stopped. Was he doing the Ted Kaczinski thing in a cabin in the woods? Overseas?

Key word: was. We can say with some certainty that he was in a poor state of mind to have disappeared and cut off friends and family. Maybe he was very good at pretending things were OK, but I suspect his behavior and affect reflected his state of mind. Maybe that's why he cut people off. He didn't want them to notice something was amiss.
