One out-there, totally implausible, but intriguing reason he might have been on a bus and still had the gun with him so long after the crime, was that he was trying to get to the real MR (the name on the fake ID, whose LinkedIn photo looks just like LM,) in New Jersey, to make a murder look like...

Maybe anticipating the online reaction of thousands of customers saying “How come you couldn’t pay for my deceased relative’s $50,000 (or whatever amount) life-saving surgery, but you can manage to put up $100,000 for this reward?” They could even potentially already be putting up the money for...

It would have to be a more specific rule, like bike batteries not being allowed, otherwise there’d be no phones, laptops, cameras, tablets, portable power banks, any rechargeable devices basically, if it was a blanket ban on lithium batteries.

Has anybody checked their garden to see if the shooter is under the flowerbed?!

With the taxi image, I think, because we’re seeing a single still frame taken from a video camera, with the eyes permanently looking at us as we view the image online, it comes off as him staring at the camera, but I think it might be his split second of realisation of where the camera is and...

Similar phenomenon with the Kray twins in the UK.

I think if the booking was made using a “home” address way outside of the “no locals allowed” area, say Atlanta or wherever, he’d feel pretty safe saying “I moved for work but I’m back in the NY/NJ visiting family for Thanksgiving, so figured I’d do some NYC sightseeing/photography at the same...

I don’t necessarily think this is what happened, just throwing a possibility out there, but the phone call could possibly have been to BT’s hotel, along the lines of “Hi, it’s Doug calling from the UHC security team. We’ve tried Mr Thompson’s cellphone but he must have kept it on silent and we...

I wonder if the security team were staying at the cheaper hotel with the other UHC staff, where the conference was taking place, and that a very short stroll from BT’s hotel to the Hilton, at such an early hour, was not deemed enough of a risk to go beyond “BT and the security team meet in the...

I don’t see how it makes a difference which exit BT left his hotel from, as the shooting was just when he was about to enter the other hotel, the Hilton, where the conference was taking place. The shooter had been loitering at the front of the Hilton since ~5:41am, so would have seen BT...

The Peak Design Everyday backpack has external waterbottle pockets on each side, so it could fall/pop out quite easily. From experience (with different backpacks,) it can happen when either readjusting the straps and weight distribution on your shoulder/shoulders if the backpack has shifted a...

Yeah, those were rhe two I meant!

We already know of two very famous Americans who people are saying have remarkably similar faces to the shooter, so just imagine how many hundreds or thousands of non-famous people out there have a similar look. We have so few images to go on, all at angles and none of them very high resolution...

And if not, the bus terminal that the Greyhound arrived at, along with any subway stations and most subway trains he may have used on the way to the hostel, likely will have done (the NYC subway has thousands of cameras across the stations and hundreds on the trains, with a pledge for every...

Also Uber and Lyft are only bookable with a phone, and he’d dropped or ditched his burner by that point. Additionally, he wouldn’t want to use his own regular phone and Uber app, as it would be trackable back to the real ID he used when first opening an Uber account.
