I would choose the location farthest from my home and set it up to look like a hit on a hated insurance company. I would never consider something like this, but so many of the murders of spouses or partners are about love, revenge or money.
He may not finger prints on file. He very likely does not have a criminal record.
Everything about this assassination was designed to provoke the reactions we’re seeing. The determined police response, the fear, the cheering on from people who hate BT’s company. Every aspect of it demands attention. There were bystanders. It was Manhattan. Evidence was left where it obviously be found. Icing on the cake: Monopoly money.
have wondered that too- the beloved neurosurgeon in Chicago had a bad relationship...just do not know
He looked pretty young, (and happy) in that one photo where he demasked. I completely understand staying in a hostel. Not for the economy of it, but for yes, the protective coloration. Maybe he'll turn out to be a modern day East coast DB Cooper.
At this point I'm not surprised. The killer seems to be using percision, planning, meticulousness and forethought. All of which could include decoys.
Who knows? I do know that I am far from a perfect person (as most of us probably are).
it could possibly be the media that’s making it a bigger deal and not necessarily NYPD themselves? it might just look like it since they’re being asked by numerous reporters for updates etc JMO
NYPD seems to have ruled that possibility out. NYPD Chief of Detectives said yesterday “Nothing in our investigation at this time so far indicates that it had anything to do with his personal life.”
I've said from the first I heard about it that whoever did this wants to be caught, but after sending everyone on a wild, convoluted goose chase.
They announced that right after their announcement that they entered the investigation, which came shortly after LE discovered he had likely fled NY.
Agreed. I don’t think they know. The killer felt they wouldn’t find him as long as he got out of NYC. If he’s confident enough to stuff Monopoly money into that backpack, he’s well aware of all the other stuff that initially seemed like mistakes. It’s all part of the show. I don’t know what gives him his confidence but the confidence itself is undeniable.
He may not have finger prints on file. He very likely does not have a criminal record, otherwise he would have worn gloves.
I think it's the potential implications on the broader society, plus the brazenness of the attack in a popular location being captured on video.
About 65 million tourists come to NYC (Manhattan) a year. So, they spend lots of money there. This was an executive there on business gunned down in a brazen attack. The victim was a CEO for one of the biggest health insurers in the world. Of course, it is going to get a lot of attention.
Absolutely agree. This individual has created a new paradigm, born of and customized to the current Zeitgeist, IMO.
Thank you! I didn’t realize that. I genuinely enjoy learning more from others who understand and know more on here. Especially about the logistics of how this all works between different LE agencies.
If he wants to be caught, or considers it inevitable, I think he will quickly take his own life to leave the mystery of "why" hanging as a threat. Maybe he's so reconciled to die, that's why he was happy. At the hostel.
