Not sure, but I think he stopped first in Central Park to ditch the backpack. From what I've seen about where the backpack was found, it doesn't seem like he flung it while he was riding up Center Drive in the park. See aerial view of the park with red circle in this article.

Not surprising. sigh. JMO.
I still believe there's a NJ connection. I think he's American and has traveled abroad. It's very common for students/young adults to stay in hostels as they travel, not just because they're cheaper, but because you meet lots of other travelers. Hostels around the world have a very similar business model. In my experience, most Americans that are budget minded don't even think of a hostel stay in the US. A few years ago I stayed at a really nice one in LA. Everyone I know family/friends had no idea that the US had hostels.
"Police have learned that the suspect took a taxi to the Port Authority bus facility at 178th Street and boarded a bus out of New York City following the shooting, according to police.
I didn’t know reward had increased…. But could it be to turn an accomplice? I don’t think he had accomplice as too dangerous for this very reason but could be police theory.
My e-bike is much faster than I can pedal. I bet he thought he could get away easier because if he needed to take off across a lawn he could do that, too. He could ride between cars, etc. I just think it would be much handier.
Maybe he went into disguise here on after
I agree. It seems it's by the lake at the north end of the mall. ?? That is not south of the carousel as previously reported.
Not necessarily. Having something denied which the policy is stated to cover would justifiably cause anger. But many assume things will be covered and then flip out when they’re not, whether it’s a $20 copay or a lifesaving experimental procedure costing many thousands of $. Medical benefits are a very emotional matter. Dealing with health issues and $ (never mind the customer service frustrations) can cause much angst.
I think this is bluffing and they are nowhere near having a name for the suspect but they want him to think they do so that he starts making mistakes to inadvertently out himself. Jmoo.Authorities have the name of Brian Thompson's suspected killer: NYC Mayor Adams
By Georgia Worrell and Tina Moore
Authorities have the name of the suspect who assassinated United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and are closing in, Mayor Adams said Saturday.
“The net is tightening,” the mayor told reporters at a Police Athletic League holiday party in Harlem.
‘The net is tightening’ on UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s suspected killer, NYC Mayor Adams says
Authorities are closing in on the suspect who assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, Mayor Adams said Saturday.nypost.com
We we we.....this guy really wants to insert himself as being part of the investigation.Adams backtracking. I’m sure law enforcement let him know they weren’t happy with his comments:
An Update from the New York Post on the Reuters report this afternoon which stated New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ said police knew the name of the suspect in the Brian Thompson murder investigation
“We don’t want to release that now,” Adams said. “If we do, we are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask. We revealed his face. We’re going to reveal who he is and we’re going to bring him to justice.”
The mayor’s office later clarified his answer to explain that he meant officials didn’t want to say whether or not they have the killer’s name.
The mayor also commended the “tri-state law enforcement partnership” for the investigation so far.
“And the manner in which they were able to follow his footsteps to recover evidence – some of it is known, some of it is unknown – but the net is tightening and we’re going to bring this person to justice,“ Adams said.
thought just crossed my mind: perhaps he wasn't caught off guard smiling at the flirtatious woman in the hostel; perhaps he exposed a partial view of his face intentionally. as i understand it, he'd spent 10 days in nyc but even eating he remained masked. that takes enormous discipline, i would think, and his actions throughout have been enigmatic and elusive. granted a pretty face often derails one's intentions, but judging from his appearance a women flirting with him wouldn't surprise him at all. perhaps the exposing was cat-and-mouse mind gaming, or perhaps what we saw was not partially his face but partially a mask, if that were true, nypd/ fbi would have nothing to work with whatsoever, which imo might be close to true anyway. if the 'glimpse' we have were a mask he may never be tracked and could then be flying somewhere with his legitimate passport. of course, that *must* be a far-fetched speculation - i doubt it could be true - but this is day four - it's already a far-fetched case...
Adams needs to stop talking, or read a script and step off the podium. No questions.Adams backtracking. I’m sure law enforcement let him know they weren’t happy with his comments:

ok? what's the purpose of defending health insurance companies in this thread? the point is the anger is real and is almost definitely the motive here.
