UnitedHealthcare CEO murder, police: Killer sees himself as hero, role model
2024-12-10 23:28:34 / BOTA
"He saw himself as a martyr, a hero, an example to follow." That's how Luigi Mangione, 26, the killer of UnitedHealthcare insurance company CEO Brian Thompson, is described in the first police report on him.
This report was drawn up shortly after his arrest by the officers who questioned him, and has been seen by The New York Times.
They stopped him Monday at 9 a.m. while he was using the free Internet at a McDonald's in Altoona, a city of 40,000 in the heart of Pennsylvania.
The moment he lowered his surgical mask to drink a coffee, a regular customer recognized him by his smile.
It was the same smile he had flashed at a receptionist hours before he killed Thompson.
This flirtatious gesture proved fatal. Footage recorded by a security camera was used by the police to distribute his picture across America.
Officers found Mangione sitting at a separate table, with his laptop in front of him and his backpack on the ground.
He was handed the same fake ID he had used in Manhattan. A misstep that he commented on with the words: "I shouldn't have done it."
When the officers asked him if he had been to New York recently, his reaction was more significant than an admission of guilt: he began to shake.
In his bag and car, police found all the evidence needed to charge him: a 3D-printed silenced gun and three other forged documents.
