Yea a gun is faster. bullets move faster than sound. if someone is hit in the head they didn't even get a chance to hear the gunshot. I just thought it was interesting I don't think I've ever heard of a 9mm to be used for animals unless they were a farmer/personal horse or something..
Weird?
It’s been a while since I stayed in a hostel but this could be because the base charge is for a bed and access to the bathrooms. These are typically very no-frills establishments. Sheets were often an additional add-on because some travelers bring their own sheets or backpacks that they use on the bed. It doesn’t mean the hostel is giving you a set of sheets for free to walk away with, it just means this hostel isn’t going to charge you to use a set of their sheets. I imagine they still expect them back or they will charge you additionally for them.
I think one simple reason (beyond theories like he was an overseas assassin) for no one stepping forward with a definitive identification is if they usually saw him with a beard and he was clean shaven specifically for the crime. A beard can make someone look completely different to a casual acquaintance. His family would probably not be fooled but they wouldn’t turn him in. JMOYikes, I was about to respond to this but got lost in the last thread, so I’m screenshotting.

In my opinion, those who know me well would absolutely recognize me.
My family probably wouldn’t turn me in, but I don’t know what friends, neighbors, colleagues, people who work in stores I frequent etc. would do if they knew I murdered someone (they SHOULD turn me in).
Awhile back someone was pondering if the suspect was actually a pair of twins. This because he looks the same but slightly different in the photos, and because of the many changes of clothes.
I’m convinced it’s just the one guy.
I happen to be an identical twin. If my twin or I had done this, just one of us, the police can still distinguish which one of us was the culprit if fingerprints were discovered.
My sister and I look just alike except to those closest to us, and everyone else gets us confused. However, like all identical twins, we do not have the same fingerprints.
Fingerprints are formed by how the developing baby touches the mother’s womb, and is unique even in identical twins.
Only one person shot BT. On the very, very, very off-chance that there are twins here, the killer could still be identified this way.

I think, The mayor of NY said it but then walked the comment back. That's the last official news I heard.
This TJ Maxx bag filled with clothes is interesting. I kept envisioning a plastic bag. Was this paper bag in the backpack? If not, I am very surprised it lasted there that long without being taken by a rando at CP. Also, not sure what the weather was the few days it was there (if it truly was there a few days) but I would expect it to look more "weathered".
New images show UnitedHealthcare CEO killing suspect in taxi
New images released by police late Saturday show the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson boarding a taxi.www.fox5ny.com
On Friday evening, investigators found a backpack in Central Park that had been worn by the gunman, police said. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. Images from FOX 5 NY show officers guarding a brown bag filled with clothing.

I see. So, it’s less of a cabinet full of clean sheets and more that you are loaned a set. That makes sense to prevent sheet theft, which is probably a thing. Thanks!
If he was a student AND he was far away, he could just say coming home late Dec/Jan. Saving $; working on a project etc.
Moo...I live in Canada, small town. Used to be all independent businesses. Now all grocery stores, veterinary clinics, most restaurants are conglomerate businesses. They said they would be cheaper...but they are not. So yes, it would be wise to have security..moo
Thank you. What is the distinction between investors and shareholders? This is a publicly traded company. Do they have an extra mechanism for gaining investments?
Are you saying that shareholders are not invited for Investment Day?
UnitedHealth Cancels Investor Day After Executive Brian Thompson Is Shot
UnitedHealth Group was scheduled to host its annual Investor Day Wednesday but the event was cancelled following the fatal shooting of its insurance unit CEO.
If they are not, then more cause for angst and anger. It is surely publicized as exactly what it is: a day for investors to meet and greet the upper echelon of the company.
Was it not announced more generally? Was there security to bar regular investors? If individual shareholders find out about it, one way or another (and I think they would), might they not be irked?

i suppose there's a possibility of more targets but i'd think, if that were the case, they'd have to be closely related to whatever was circumstance and impetus triggered this BT killing. i don't, myself, think there will be more, but only an opinion of course and may be completely wrong.
Yes. There’s no need for confusion folks. It’s clear information that has been known. It’s a one day conference and is for institutional investors only, so it’s very exclusive. This is relevant information. The attendees are venture capitalists, maybe politicians. It wasn’t public per se, for example the location at the Hilton was not publicly known on the internet. The agenda for the day has still never been posted or known. We have no idea who else was to speak that day, when or if BT was supposed to speak (very likely). It’s an invite only event, ticket sales not open to general public. There would certainly be enough attendees that I’m sure this information can get out however.You understand it incorrectly, it was an INVESTORS CONFERENCE not the annual shareholders meeting. This has been corrected on every thread I have read so far, so maybe you got the incorrect info here.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson killed outside investor conference in N.Y.C.
A manhunt is now underway for the gunman who police believe targeted Thompson in the shooting.news.yahoo.com
I don't know what time LE learned that he stayed in the hostel, but by the time they got there, the sheets may have already been stripped from all the beds and been in the laundry. Good luck identifying which ones were his, even if you catch them before they hit the washing machine.
I have never, not once, seen a manhunt like this not result in an arrest. From the Austin bomber to the Boston Bombers, to the Beltway Snipers, it happens every single time without fail. The evidence to capture him is absolutely there, and it's just a matter of time.
