I'm a bit skeptical of the manifesto.....seems rather early for information about a manifesto being put out there, even if it's a leak.

Maybe something has been posted to the contrary, but if I had been the assassin I would have checked out BT on Tuesday. Very stocky guy, mid western face, bright blue blazer, not a business blue, more a golf club blue, to my eyes. Murderer probably thought he'd been pretty lucky to see his target was dressed like that. Also, I get it that Wed. was the 1st day of mtg, is there any proof bt didn't visit the mtg room on Tuesday?

It's highly likely BT did visit the Hilton on Tuesday for a run-through/dress rehearsal. He would not have been wearing the same suit, though.

Has he not been following any of the reporting if he was still out here using the same ID as he used at the hostel?

 

[eddie_van]

Gosh. If you were smart you would have ditched the "Mark Rosario" ID. Gave him far too much credit.

yeah that's pretty bad

I can’t beleive how invested I am in this case. Maybe it’s because I’m a healthcare worker forced to use UHC next year

He should have continued way westwards on the day he took the bus from NYC. Wonder where he was in the last 4 days.

 

[midwest_musician]

Especially since he had multiple other fakes on him...totally crazy. He was probably screwed at that point, but maybe not. and to still use that same id he really was not bright .. unless he didn't care about being captured etc

 

[wibbleflea]

I’ve been saying for a while, people were giving him way too much credit.

Some super villain genius, foreign hired assassin, who intentionally left DNA because he was so far ahead of police it didn’t matter.

Nope.

It was always really simple.

I can’t wait to learn the full details.

I was definitely giving him too much credit. At Mickey D’s, with the gun, a manifesto and the same fake ID? Jeez.

As well as the name on the fake ID!

I'd love to know more about this, could you elaborate? What sorts of posts? I've wondered about this the whole time.

I think I saw the posts they're referring to. It was just someone downplaying every possible piece of evidence and claiming that the killer was planting things to mislead authorities.

Word has it the Father turned in his 26 yr old son…

Where did you see this?

 

[BrianJohnson]

Even though the ID/name is fake if he was using the name Rosario that would suggest he is Hispanic/South American as opposed to middle eastern heritage

The handwritten manifesto found on the person of the man detained in Altoona criticized health care companies for putting profits above care, according to a senior law enforcement official.

Suspect in Health Care C.E.O.’s Killing Charged With Murder

The suspect, Luigi Mangione, 26, was charged by New York prosecutors. He was arrested and arraigned in Altoona, Pa., on Monday after being spotted at a McDonald’s.

Well if that wasn't his motive before, it sure would benefit him to use it now after seeing how half the world seems to support what he did. I am curious if that manifesto was written before or after. If before, why not leave it with the victim or in the backpack with the monopoly money?

Do you have a source for that?

CNN is reporting he had multiple fake IDs on him (still not sure if he actually presented to them the same one he used at the hostel, or if they just found it among their search)

Five days on the run and only makes a 5-hour bus ride outta town? Interesting to know how he spent the long weekend.
(That was a westbound schedule, correct? Unlikely he was returning after forgetting something)

Agree! He should've been further away by now. Where was he after the GWB?

My bet is that the reporting is garbled. The ABC story linked earlier said that a customer at McDonald's tipped off the police after recognizing him from the pictures shared by LE. Apparently, everyone got back on the bus and it continued on its way. The bus was then intercepted by local police when the fake NJ ID, gun and manifesto were found with his belonging.

If one didn't want to get caught, it seems one would have bought 20+ protein bars prior to the murder for the escape or gave another passenger money to buy you something at McDonalds or dealt with being hungry and stayed on the bus.

Given what he had in his belongings, it seems he was ready to get caught and tell his story. JMO

 

[Boodles]

I truly wonder what his plan was to do now, maybe he was just going to keep going until he was inevitably caught

Yeah, but it took him 5 days to get to Altoona? Weird!

John Miller CNN:

A patron may have approached Mcdonalds employee and pointed out the suspected shooter. The employee then called 911. Mentions these initial details tend to change.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that the police detained him, searched his belongings, and found a cache of fake IDs.
