I can offer no clues as to the identity of the gunman who executed United Health Care's CEO Brian Thompson early Wednesday morning. I can only follow the details as they become public. And the release of the details add to the anticipation of capture—or just prolonged frustration at an inability to apprehend. Figures of manhunts can evade identification and capture for an indeterminate amount of time. Although Ted Kaczynski wasn't photographed mailing letter bombs, it took 17 years before he was captured. A lot less for Son of Sam.
The latest release is of two images of the suspect as he is in a cab, and likely leaving a cab on Wednesday morning after the shooting. Who knew you could get photographed so well from the viewpoint of a cab? It's eerie.
The other detail to emerge is the type of weapon used, as not yet reported recovered. Apparently it is a 9 mm gun used by veterinarians to put down animals. The long barrel makes it look like a silencer, but it is a noise suppressor so not to scare the other animals in the vicinity.
CNN reports that a law enforcement source told them after recovering the Peak Design backpack from Central Park on Friday, police examined it at a forensic lab in Queens. Inside, they found Monopoly money. It was not immediately clear if other items were in the backpack, officials said. Lakes in the park are being searched by police SCUBA teams.
Monopoly money? Is that from a McDonald's Happy Meal? It is certainly going to be interesting to see where all this goes.
