Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. In the last days, the
- 0:08Speaker 1: federal government has announced that Luigi mangione accused in gunning
- 0:14Speaker 1: down a healthcare CEO boss, will face the death penalty.
- 0:22Speaker 1: If administered, it will be by lethal injection. Not only that,
- 0:29Speaker 1: the healthcare industri's PR Awards just went down and Luigi
- 0:35Speaker 1: Mangioni was not the only specter floating around the gala event.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Greace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for
- 0:44Speaker 1: being with us. Just weeks after the United Healthcare boss
- 0:48Speaker 1: Brian Thompson was murdered on a Manhattan street, bleeding out
- 0:54Speaker 1: there on the sidewalk, all the superstars of the healthcare
- 0:58Speaker 1: industry Brave returned to Midtown Manhattan. There was just seven
- 1:04Speaker 1: blocks over from where shellcasings were found on the sidewalk.
- 1:11Speaker 1: The occasion the twenty twenty five PR Week health Care Awards,
- 1:18Speaker 1: celebrating the men and women that craft the public perception
- 1:24Speaker 1: of pharmaceutical companies, healthcare insurance companies, hospitals, care providers. How
- 1:30Speaker 1: do they do it through lobbying, corporate outreach advertising. Yep,
- 1:37Speaker 1: it was a pretty glitzy affair. Did anybody bring up
- 1:42Speaker 1: the disaster Brian Thompson, a father of two boys murder.
- 1:49Speaker 1: It was certainly haunting the entire ballroom. I wonder if
- 1:54Speaker 1: this will be the defense's exhibits. For instance, I learned
- 1:59Speaker 1: that Lily, the country's largest pharmaceutical company, reported forty five
- 2:05Speaker 1: billion that's b as in brother billion dollars of revenue
- 2:10Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. That's nearly thirty three percent more
- 2:14Speaker 1: than last year. Their net income was up one hundred
- 2:19Speaker 1: and two percent. Their profit margin jumped from fifteen to
- 2:24Speaker 1: twenty four percent. Dang. This on the heels of their
- 2:30Speaker 1: launch something called kissun Law. It's a new drug for
- 2:33Speaker 1: Alzheimer's that costs a single patient thirty two thousand dollars
- 2:40Speaker 1: a year. United Healthcare, while mourning the murder of Brian Thompson,
- 2:46Speaker 1: reeled in a record four hundred point three billion as
- 2:51Speaker 1: in brother in revenue twenty twenty four and got their
- 2:55Speaker 1: best ever adjusted profit of ever twenty five billion. Wow, Okay,
- 3:02Speaker 1: they're all celebrating. It was at a place called gustav Vino's.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's an upscale East side venue. I never had the
- 3:11Speaker 1: opportunity to be there, probably couldn't afford it anyway. Now,
- 3:16Speaker 1: Unlike the most recent big event for the healthcare industry,
- 3:21Speaker 1: the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference that was in January. It
- 3:26Speaker 1: was very security heavy, but this night at Gustavino's, nobody
- 3:33Speaker 1: even checked ID, asking right when you walked in, would
- 3:36Speaker 1: you like some champagne? I think I could use a
- 3:38Speaker 1: glass right now, and I'm a teetotaler. Okay, while they're
- 3:42Speaker 1: toasting champagne for all of their profits, Luigi Manngioni, according
- 3:47Speaker 1: to many, is rightly facing the death penalty. Why reality check?
- 3:54Speaker 1: A ghost gun, a silencer, multiple fake IDs, and hand
- 4:00Speaker 1: written manifesto attacking the health care industry.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Earlier this morning, in Altuna, Pennsylvania, members of the Altuna
- 4:09Speaker 2: Police Department arrested Luigi Mangioni, a twenty six year old
- 4:14Speaker 2: mail on firearms charges. At this time, he is believed
- 4:18Speaker 2: to be our person of interest.
- 4:20Speaker 1: That's right. In the last hours, a person of interest
- 4:23Speaker 1: nabbed in the fatal shooting of healthcare boss Brian Thopson.
- 4:29Speaker 1: From what we understand, McDonald's employee and Altoona in western
- 4:33Speaker 1: Pennsylvania spotted the guy and thinks he looked like the
- 4:40Speaker 1: health boss assassin, probably trying to use a fake ID
- 4:46Speaker 1: in a McDonald's. According to law enforcement and the New
- 4:50Speaker 1: York Post, the man being eyed for the cold blooded
- 4:54Speaker 1: execution of Brian Topson. The guy has a gun, a
- 4:59Speaker 1: silencer for fake IDs, and other items consistent with what
- 5:05Speaker 1: Lee was looking for in the case. But is it him?
- 5:10Speaker 1: Does he match this description? According to a McDonald's employee,
- 5:14Speaker 1: he does? What else do we know? Where? Is Altoona, Pennsylvania,
- 5:18Speaker 1: Western Pennsylvania, two hundred and eighty miles away from Manhattan,
- 5:24Speaker 1: a little over a five hour drive. But the manhunt
- 5:29Speaker 1: across the nation going in every direction from Manhattan. Divers, drones,
- 5:36Speaker 1: you name it, all used employed to find the killer
- 5:41Speaker 1: of the health care boss. What led to the detainment
- 5:47Speaker 1: of this guy? We also understand that in his possession
- 5:52Speaker 1: is a New Jersey ID, a fake ID, possibly used
- 5:58Speaker 1: to check into that Manhattan hostile In the last hours
- 6:01Speaker 1: police press conference listen.
- 6:02Speaker 3: A man was taken it to custody today at Altuda,
- 6:05Speaker 3: Pennsylvania this morning. He has been identified as Luigi Nicholas Mangioni.
- 6:10Speaker 3: He's a male, twenty six years old. He was born
- 6:12Speaker 3: and raised in Maryland. We know he has tis to
- 6:15Speaker 3: San Francisco, California, and his last known address was Honolulu, Hawaii.
- 6:20Speaker 3: He has no prior arrest history in New York. Members
- 6:24Speaker 3: of the NYPD Detective Bureau are currently traveling to Pennsylvania
- 6:27Speaker 3: with members of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to interview
- 6:30Speaker 3: this subject. This case was brought to a successful conclusion
- 6:34Speaker 3: based on the coordinated effort between numerous NYPD units, including
- 6:38Speaker 3: the Intelligence and counter Terrorism Bureau, our federal partners at
- 6:42Speaker 3: the FBI, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and of course,
- 6:46Speaker 3: members of the Altoona Police Department in Pennsylvania. On Thursday,
- 6:51Speaker 3: one day after this crime was committed, the NYPD released
- 6:53Speaker 3: a photo of the shooter in this case. This picture
- 6:56Speaker 3: was obtained by the NYPD during one of their extensive
- 6:59Speaker 3: video can We took that photograph and we asked for
- 7:02Speaker 3: the public's health and identifying this subject, and the public responded.
- 7:06Speaker 3: Hundreds of tips began to pour into our hotline. Each
- 7:09Speaker 3: tip was investigated thoroughly, and we began to release additional
- 7:14Speaker 3: photographs as they came into our possession. The NYPD provided
- 7:18Speaker 3: these photos to numerous media outlets. Local, national, and international
- 7:22Speaker 3: outlets released the photo via television, print, social media, and
- 7:26Speaker 3: online content. Luckily, a citizen in Pennsylvania recognized our subject
- 7:31Speaker 3: and called local law enforcement. Members of the Altoona Police
- 7:34Speaker 3: Department responded to the call and based on their investigation,
- 7:38Speaker 3: they notified the NYPD. This investigation is still active and ongoing.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
- 7:45Speaker 4: I had a couple questions about document that he was
- 7:48Speaker 4: found in possession with. Can you go a little bit
- 7:50Speaker 4: more in depth about those motivations that you mentioned, was
- 7:54Speaker 4: that CEO specifically named in that document? Was there anything
- 7:58Speaker 4: more about in one to go after others? And also
- 8:02Speaker 4: in that doctor was there any indication that explains us
- 8:06Speaker 4: how the level of detail that he went into killing him, like,
- 8:09Speaker 4: is there anything else?
- 8:11Speaker 3: That document is currently in the possession of the Ottoon
- 8:13Speaker 3: of Police Department as part of their investigation, but just
- 8:15Speaker 3: from briefly speaking with them, we don't think that there's
- 8:18Speaker 3: any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document,
- 8:21Speaker 3: but it does seem that he has some ill will
- 8:24Speaker 3: towards Corporate America.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Can you point to a single linchpin that held practice case.
- 8:29Speaker 3: There's numerous lynchpins in this case, and the fact that
- 8:32Speaker 3: we've recovered an enormous amount of forensic evidence, an enormous
- 8:37Speaker 3: amount of video and once again with your help and
- 8:40Speaker 3: the public SELP. So I couldn't. I really couldn't put
- 8:43Speaker 3: it on one thing, but if I had to, it
- 8:45Speaker 3: would be the release of that photograph from the media.
- 8:47Speaker 3: We had divers in the ward yesterday that came up
- 8:49Speaker 3: negative results the passport. We don't believe that he was
- 8:52Speaker 3: planning on doing any traveling at this time. We don't
- 8:54Speaker 3: think he at this point our investigation, we don't think
- 8:56Speaker 3: he was trying to flee the country.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Person at McDonald's where they buying, what.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Were they do were not that exactly.
- 9:01Speaker 3: It was an employee at the McDonald's. But what was
- 9:04Speaker 3: the suspect do He was sitting there reading, Well.
- 9:10Speaker 1: He brought back to New York and charge here, and.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Wow, we're going to have to work that out with
- 9:14Speaker 3: the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He's going
- 9:18Speaker 3: to be facing gun charges there and at some point
- 9:21Speaker 3: we'll work out through extradition to bring him back to
- 9:23Speaker 3: New York to face charges here, working with the Manhattan
- 9:25Speaker 3: District Attorney's Office.
- 9:26Speaker 4: I Needa Hi Nada from the New York Post.
- 9:29Speaker 6: I was just hoping to get more details of the
- 9:31Speaker 6: capture itself.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Did he put up a fight, did.
- 9:33Speaker 6: He say anything the cops?
- 9:34Speaker 2: And we've also recorded that he published online anti health
- 9:39Speaker 2: ka industry rantings.
- 9:40Speaker 6: Can you share with us some of the services that
- 9:42Speaker 6: he posted.
- 9:43Speaker 3: On We're still working through his social media. We're going
- 9:45Speaker 3: to do a complete scrub of that. Preliminarily, like I said,
- 9:48Speaker 3: he seems that he had some ill will towed Corporate America,
- 9:51Speaker 3: but that will all come out as part of our investigation.
- 9:53Speaker 3: We're not done here. We're still going to be putting
- 9:55Speaker 3: this together. We're still going to be working very hard
- 9:57Speaker 3: to bring this to a successful conclusion.
- 9:59Speaker 1: A ghost gun, a silencer, fake IDs, and a handwritten
- 10:05Speaker 1: manifesto attacking the healthcare industry sounds like our guy. But
- 10:12Speaker 1: what else led to this entertainment in Pennsylvania? Hey, doctor
- 10:17Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall joining us, our renown psychoalyst out of La,
- 10:20Speaker 1: author of deal Breaker. You can see her on Peacock Now,
- 10:23Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany. The theory that the assassin meant to scatter
- 10:29Speaker 1: toy monopoly money over the dead body. That tells me
- 10:33Speaker 1: a lot about him. He's got a lot of time
- 10:36Speaker 1: sitting in somebody's basement, thinking and plotting. It almost rules
- 10:41Speaker 1: out a day job in my mind. But that said,
- 10:45Speaker 1: we know he's white male. We know he's got money
- 10:49Speaker 1: and a guy that can fund himself cash wise for
- 10:54Speaker 1: nearly two weeks in Manhattan. We also know that while
- 10:59Speaker 1: he may have meant to scatter fake monopoly money all
- 11:02Speaker 1: over the dead body, sending a message as if the
- 11:05Speaker 1: nine millimeter bullet didn't do that, he didn't leave the
- 11:09Speaker 1: money behind. But he did leave behind a water bottle
- 11:13Speaker 1: with DNA and fingerprints on it. He left behind a
- 11:16Speaker 1: candy or bar wrapper. He left behind a burner phone.
- 11:20Speaker 1: If they can break into that burner flown burner phone,
- 11:23Speaker 1: that is going to be a tremendous source of evidence.
- 11:26Speaker 1: But he forgot to strow the money, Nancy, he forgot it.
- 11:30Speaker 7: This guy is obsessional. In the crime world, you may
- 11:33Speaker 7: say methodical. I say obsessional, meaning he has been thinking
- 11:37Speaker 7: about this for a long long time. When I have
- 11:41Speaker 7: a patient like this come into my Beverly Hills office,
- 11:44Speaker 7: they usually are enraged at.
- 11:46Speaker 6: One person and that is all they can talk about.
- 11:49Speaker 7: What they would like to do, what the person's look
- 11:52Speaker 7: on their face would be like, you know, Nancy.
- 11:54Speaker 6: With obsessional paranoia, the person person sort of alleviates their
- 12:02Speaker 6: rage by constantly thinking about inflicting harm on the victim.
- 12:07Speaker 6: But I also think although he obsessed about this and
- 12:10Speaker 6: planned it out, this was his first crime, he did
- 12:13Speaker 6: not He did not think about what it would be
- 12:16Speaker 6: like to drop a candy wrapper, drop the water bottle.
- 12:20Speaker 6: He didn't have time to plan them. He didn't have
- 12:24Speaker 6: time to scatter the monopoly money. This was all in
- 12:27Speaker 6: his head. You'd never practiced before.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Hey, you know what, Tom Smith, former NYPD knows this
- 12:33Speaker 1: area like the back of his hand. Tom the burner,
- 12:37Speaker 1: the cell phone. I mean, there's an outside chance it's
- 12:39Speaker 1: his actual cell phone. But the reports wearing is it's
- 12:42Speaker 1: a burner phone. Lauren Colin, Yes, no burner phone, actual phone,
- 12:45Speaker 1: burner phone, Nancy, Tom Smith. What I'm coming to you
- 12:48Speaker 1: about is the phone? What an idiot? I think. Bethany's right,
- 12:53Speaker 1: this may be his first time at the rodeo. And
- 12:55Speaker 1: you know, like, well, let me think of a good one. Robert.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Remember when he and his henchman got his bodyguards, got
- 13:04Speaker 1: together and murdered Bonni Lee Bakley, and they had this
- 13:08Speaker 1: extensive to do list. Very often you can catch the
- 13:11Speaker 1: purp because of their to do list and they're over planning, right.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But the burner phone they're really hard to break into.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Do you remember in the Alexan Burrog trial they had
- 13:23Speaker 1: to bring in the Secret Service to crack his phone.
- 13:25Speaker 8: Yeah, and I agree with Lauren. It's a burner phone
- 13:29Speaker 8: and who knows what's on there. Yeah, he could just
- 13:31Speaker 8: use it for simple things. Again, if he plans it
- 13:34Speaker 8: out and knows Berner phones and what to use them for.
- 13:38Speaker 8: There may not be a lot on there, but the
- 13:40Speaker 8: ability to break in there might not be that difficult
- 13:43Speaker 8: because of the low technology that Bernarfone Giugi are and
- 13:47Speaker 8: the limited amount of information that'll be on there.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace as healthcare haun shows attend
- 14:04Speaker 1: a swinky pr award glitzy galla evening at Gustavino's in Manhattan.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Luigi Manngioni is now facing the death penalty. Boo hoo.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Some would argue that's what you get for gunning down
- 14:21Speaker 1: a CEO boss in cold blood on the sidewalk in Manhattan,
- 14:26Speaker 1: leaving behind a widow and two little boys without a father.
- 14:30Speaker 1: All the surveillance video, all the pictures that we've got
- 14:33Speaker 1: so far, talking on the phone just before the murder. Hey,
- 14:38Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, and then I'm gonna follow up with
- 14:40Speaker 1: renow defense attorney Jason Oceans. Doctor Bethany, He's not worried.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Look at him. He has practiced this over and over
- 14:48Speaker 1: and over. He has been watching the victim like a
- 14:52Speaker 1: hawk from the moment the victim got into town. This
- 14:55Speaker 1: guy knows the itinerary by heart. He knew that there
- 14:59Speaker 1: was a breakfast, he knew that that started at eight o'clock.
- 15:04Speaker 1: He knew that the victim was going over ahead of
- 15:07Speaker 1: time from the Hilton over to the Executive Forum where
- 15:11Speaker 1: he was set to speak that morning. Now, all of
- 15:15Speaker 1: this surveillance video is from individuals and businesses along the trek.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Check it out. So what I'm getting at, Dr Bethany,
- 15:26Speaker 1: this guy's cold, cool, and calculated.
- 15:29Speaker 7: This is definitely cold blooded and methodical. To use the
- 15:32Speaker 7: panel's term, Nancy. There's one thing this guy forgot to do.
- 15:36Speaker 7: He didn't watch the Nancy Grace Show, because if he had,
- 15:39Speaker 7: he would have known that there were surveillance cameras all
- 15:43Speaker 7: along that street. And that fifteen minute phone call that
- 15:46Speaker 7: makes me wonder if this is like the DC sniper
- 15:49Speaker 7: where an older, more ruthless person recruited a younger person,
- 15:53Speaker 7: or that he's acting in concert with somebody else and
- 15:56Speaker 7: that's why he's on that phone.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Hey, Lauren, it was a call fifteen minutes before the shooting,
- 16:02Speaker 1: not a fifteen minute phone call. Correct.
- 16:05Speaker 5: Correct, The phone call occurred at six thirty am.
- 16:08Speaker 1: So Doctor Bethany. But I agree with what you were saying.
- 16:11Speaker 1: But he did not ye act for fifteen minutes. It's
- 16:13Speaker 1: almost as if he's checking in because I'm wondering is
- 16:16Speaker 1: he speaking or is he listening? I can't tell. Plus
- 16:21Speaker 1: his mouth is covered right there. And I'll tell you
- 16:23Speaker 1: why Jason Ocean is joining me re Noow defense attorney
- 16:25Speaker 1: and joining us out of this jurisdiction. Who also, you
- 16:29Speaker 1: and I have walked this track before together at Jason Ocean,
- 16:32Speaker 1: So back around cour TV and hl N Day's Jason true.
- 16:40Speaker 1: The reason I'm wondering if he was listening to something
- 16:44Speaker 1: and not talking. I prosecuted an arson murder, and just
- 16:48Speaker 1: before the guy brined his mansion down and tried to
- 16:53Speaker 1: fake that his wife died in the fire from smoking elation,
- 16:57Speaker 1: he called and checked the weather channel. Jason, I was
- 17:01Speaker 1: so happy. He called and checked the weather channel to
- 17:05Speaker 1: find out if it was going to rain the day
- 17:08Speaker 1: he was setting the house on fire. So, for all
- 17:11Speaker 1: I know, this guy's checking the bus schedule or checking
- 17:14Speaker 1: was Now I know he was not on a flight.
- 17:16Speaker 1: I know he was on a bus. But every time
- 17:18Speaker 1: I'm headed to Legardia, I call or I check online
- 17:22Speaker 1: to see if my delta flight is delayed. Okay, how
- 17:26Speaker 1: do I know if he was just checking something or
- 17:28Speaker 1: actually speaking to someone. In Bethany's train of thought, what
- 17:33Speaker 1: if he calls someone it was a quick callment, Hey
- 17:36Speaker 1: I'm on the way right now, I'm walking, I just
- 17:38Speaker 1: passed Starbucks. It could be that. It could be anything NTA.
- 17:43Speaker 9: I think the theory that, you know, the potential theory
- 17:45Speaker 9: that he was directed by someone and that's why he
- 17:47Speaker 9: was on the phone is fascinating. And then also struck
- 17:51Speaker 9: by that his lack of knowledge, you know, the overall
- 17:56Speaker 9: aspect of the cameras that are everywhere. I think he
- 17:59Speaker 9: didn't plan for that. That was the one thing in
- 18:01Speaker 9: this seemingly meticulous planning that was that was not done.
- 18:05Speaker 9: But that phone call could be very critical if we
- 18:08Speaker 9: can find out if it was an incoming or an
- 18:10Speaker 9: outgoing call, and the limited technology it has in the
- 18:14Speaker 9: ability to bust that phone up.
- 18:15Speaker 1: I got to figure out how the Secret Service actually
- 18:18Speaker 1: cracks it. You'd think it would be easy, because you know,
- 18:21Speaker 1: Cheryl McCollum with me forensic expert. When I was researching
- 18:25Speaker 1: for my last book, Don't Be a Victim, I found
- 18:28Speaker 1: out that about I think it was seventy percent or
- 18:31Speaker 1: eighty percent, some crazy astronomical number of people still use
- 18:38Speaker 1: the factory code that they had on answer machines, or
- 18:42Speaker 1: they do one two three four is their code, or
- 18:45Speaker 1: one one one one, or of course sixty nine sixty
- 18:48Speaker 1: nine that's no tried and true, or let's see lucky
- 18:52Speaker 1: numbers that they come up with, like seven seven seven seven.
- 18:56Speaker 1: It's so predictable. But then you got somebody like this
- 19:01Speaker 1: who's uh, half smart, and he's probably got some bizarre
- 19:06Speaker 1: code on his cellphone the burner. You know how long
- 19:10Speaker 1: it took them to crack Alex Murdog's final They had
- 19:13Speaker 1: to bring in the Secret Service to do it.
- 19:15Speaker 10: Exactly means you look at that phone call could have
- 19:18Speaker 10: been something as simple as he called in seek to
- 19:20Speaker 10: work because he knew he wasn't gonna make it. Who
- 19:22Speaker 10: you can call it? Six forty five am is a
- 19:25Speaker 10: very small group of people, So it could have been
- 19:28Speaker 10: he's checking the bus schedule because he's leaving that morning
- 19:31Speaker 10: and wants to make sure that's smart.
- 19:33Speaker 1: It's smart smart. Wait, you just you just really gave
- 19:38Speaker 1: me clue, Cheryl, Who are you going to call at
- 19:41Speaker 1: six o'clock in the morning?
- 19:42Speaker 11: Okay?
- 19:43Speaker 1: Not very many people.
- 19:45Speaker 10: Okay, go ahead, because if you call your mom or
- 19:47Speaker 10: a sister or something like that, you're going to scare
- 19:49Speaker 10: the day like that of them. So it's got to
- 19:51Speaker 10: be somebody that's obvious. So you can leave a message
- 19:55Speaker 10: for somebody because you know they're not at work at
- 19:57Speaker 10: you can check the bus schedule. What is interested in
- 20:00Speaker 10: that is I am his other messages, what he wrote
- 20:04Speaker 10: on the shellcasing the threat before the murder, the fact
- 20:08Speaker 10: that he would choose New York and not the victim
- 20:10Speaker 10: poeme state why not shoot him at any red light
- 20:13Speaker 10: going to work?
- 20:15Speaker 1: Oh, Cheryl, Cheryl, you just gave me another tidbit. Hold on,
- 20:18Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody. At first, we were led
- 20:22Speaker 1: to believe that the bullets were engraved in some way
- 20:26Speaker 1: with Deny defend deposed. We now know it was written
- 20:34Speaker 1: with black sharp which tells me even more. Do you
- 20:39Speaker 1: know that you can get a handwriting sample off of that?
- 20:44Speaker 1: Not that I think police are going to need a
- 20:46Speaker 1: handwriting sample when they've got fingerprints in DNA, But you
- 20:49Speaker 1: never know what might click with the jury. What about it,
- 20:52Speaker 1: Cheryl one hundred percent.
- 20:54Speaker 10: But again it tells you he took extra time to
- 20:57Speaker 10: leave a message on shellcasings. He took extra come to
- 21:01Speaker 10: get the monopoly money. That's a message. Shooting him in
- 21:04Speaker 10: New York City the morning of that meet and was
- 21:07Speaker 10: a message. He could have shot him anytime in his home,
- 21:10Speaker 10: stated a red light, but he didn't well.

- 21:25Speaker 1: bars facing the death penalty.
- 21:27Speaker 2: The suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized by
- 21:31Speaker 2: an employee, who then called local police. Responding officers questioned
- 21:36Speaker 2: the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple
- 21:40Speaker 2: fraudulent IDs as well as a US passport.
- 21:44Speaker 1: First, I want to go out to our dive expert.
- 21:47Speaker 1: I'm curious about the search in the lake at Central Park.
- 21:52Speaker 12: The New York Police Department dive team is called into
- 21:54Speaker 12: action after the discovery of the backpack near Hexer Playground.
- 21:58Speaker 12: The divers are seen trawling a Central Park pond behind
- 22:00Speaker 12: an area cordoned off with police tape next to Bethesda Fountain,
- 22:03Speaker 12: in a body of water known as the Lake near
- 22:05Speaker 12: Central Park boat House. The NYPD has been searching Central
- 22:09Speaker 12: Park since the Gunmo was seen escaping on an ee
- 22:11Speaker 12: bike into the park. Police have not yet recovered the
- 22:13Speaker 12: distinctive gun used in the shooting, and it's unclear if
- 22:16Speaker 12: officers recovered any evidence from the water.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Joining me special guest Ben Dobrian Virginia Beach Emergency Medical Services,
- 22:25Speaker 1: also the Dean of Professional Services at Virginia Wesleyan University.
- 22:31Speaker 1: He is an expert diver and he is actually a
- 22:35Speaker 1: dive instructor.
- 22:36Speaker 11: Well, I do a lot of police diving also and
- 22:38Speaker 11: just into emergency diving. And so I'm looking at this
- 22:41Speaker 11: on Google Maps, and it's a relatively closed area, so
- 22:44Speaker 11: that makes it a lot easier than having to go
- 22:46Speaker 11: into the ocean or you know, a great lake, or
- 22:48Speaker 11: the chestbea bay, So it makes it a lot easier
- 22:50Speaker 11: for the divers. It's also I just looked it up,
- 22:52Speaker 11: it's only four to six feet deep, so that also
- 22:54Speaker 11: makes it a lot more simple to do a dive operation.
- 22:57Speaker 11: But what they could be doing is they're could be
- 22:58Speaker 11: looking for anything that they can find. And one thing
- 23:01Speaker 11: that your listeners and watchers need to understand is anything
- 23:05Speaker 11: that exists above water exists underwater. People use it as
- 23:08Speaker 11: a garbage dump. We find you name it, bikes, washing machines,
- 23:14Speaker 11: shopping carts, so there's a lot of debris. The more
- 23:16Speaker 11: people that are around, the more people use that as
- 23:18Speaker 11: a dumping ground. But there's two things that I imagine
- 23:20Speaker 11: they're looking for just listening to the different news reports
- 23:23Speaker 11: and listening to you. They're looking for the firearm obviously,
- 23:26Speaker 11: but that telephone also, they're looking for that. You know,
- 23:29Speaker 11: those are both very small items that are relatively easy
- 23:32Speaker 11: to discard, and one of the things that if you
- 23:35Speaker 11: find an item like that, you're gonna have to recover it.
- 23:37Speaker 11: Evidence recovery is the same underwater as it is above
- 23:40Speaker 11: water from the police perspective, but the one thing we
- 23:43Speaker 11: have to keep in mind is that it's in a
- 23:45Speaker 11: different environment. Evidence above water is in air, so all
- 23:48Speaker 11: if you do is keep it in the air. But
- 23:49Speaker 11: evidence that's recovered underwater you have to recover it with
- 23:52Speaker 11: the water. If you take it out of the water,
- 23:55Speaker 11: things start to break down relatively quickly. When I'm talking
- 23:57Speaker 11: about specifically is fingerprints if you take something out of
- 24:00Speaker 11: the water, and fingerprints can last for about a week underwater,
- 24:04Speaker 11: so the clock is ticking. But if you remove whether
- 24:07Speaker 11: it's a firearm or the telephone or any piece of evidence,
- 24:11Speaker 11: you're going to want to take it out of the
- 24:13Speaker 11: water and just bring some of the local water with
- 24:15Speaker 11: it and then bring that to your forensics office and
- 24:18Speaker 11: then they're going to drain the water and then do
- 24:20Speaker 11: all the magic that they do to get the fingerprints
- 24:23Speaker 11: off of it.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Okay, Ben Dobwin is joining me, not only Dan Professional
- 24:27Speaker 1: Services at Virginia Westley, and he is a dive instructor
- 24:30Speaker 1: and a police diver. Now, Ben, you just taught me
- 24:34Speaker 1: something I didn't know. Number One, when items are taken
- 24:39Speaker 1: out of the water, you have to preserve them in
- 24:43Speaker 1: preferably the ambiant water the water in which they were in,
- 24:48Speaker 1: because the moment they hit the air, it starts to degrade.
- 24:52Speaker 1: For instance, fingerprints. Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University,
- 24:57Speaker 1: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, and star
- 25:00Speaker 1: of a hit series Body Bags with Joe Scott Morgan.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about the gun, but
- 25:04Speaker 1: I'm going to follow up on what Dobrain is telling us. Yes,
- 25:08Speaker 1: prints are preserved underwater because prints, fingerprints are based on
- 25:14Speaker 1: the oil in the body oil water. Get it? You
- 25:17Speaker 1: can explain better than me, Go ahead.
- 25:19Speaker 13: Yeah, Our fingerprints come about as a result of the
- 25:22Speaker 13: discharge of the fatty lipids that we have in the
- 25:25Speaker 13: pores that surround the print that's left behind. Remember, we
- 25:30Speaker 13: don't have fingerprints on the tips of our fingers. We
- 25:32Speaker 13: have friction ridges that leave behind fingerprints. So in this
- 25:36Speaker 13: particular case, we believe that this is a weapon that
- 25:42Speaker 13: has a magazine in it, Nancy. So if you have
- 25:44Speaker 13: a magazine, that means that you're going to be pressing
- 25:48Speaker 13: down on the rounds as you're loading the magazine in,
- 25:52Speaker 13: and also you're touching that surface of the magazine. The
- 25:56Speaker 13: magazine is this then fitted into a cent the grip
- 26:01Speaker 13: of this weapon and it's kind of in a protected
- 26:03Speaker 13: space there. So what Ben is talking about is right
- 26:06Speaker 13: on the money. You have this protected space. If you
- 26:09Speaker 13: can keep this in uh in the water that it
- 26:13Speaker 13: comes from and take that into the lab, they can
- 26:17Speaker 13: get around that weapon pretty quickly and raise any kind
- 26:20Speaker 13: of latent prints that might be there.
- 26:22Speaker 1: You did that so eloquently, Joe Scott, I would have
- 26:25Speaker 1: just said, you know, like oil and water don't mix.
- 26:29Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm saying here.
- 26:31Speaker 13: That one more thing about it, Yeah, you think about
- 26:38Speaker 13: you know, Ben had mentioned how densely populated, and all
- 26:42Speaker 13: of us have been to Manhattan, how densely populated this area.
- 26:46Speaker 13: This guy and pay very close than you on I'm
- 26:49Speaker 13: about to say this guy, if he did this, he
- 26:52Speaker 13: ain't the first person to think about dumping a weapon
- 26:54Speaker 13: into that lake, all right. So they have a herculean
- 26:58Speaker 13: task at hand here dealing around, dealing in this filthy
- 27:04Speaker 13: water where they're going to be using their hands, crawling along.
- 27:08Speaker 13: How many other weapons are in there. Just because you
- 27:11Speaker 13: find a firearm merged doesn't mean it's the firearm that
- 27:15Speaker 13: was used.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Ben, I want to follow up with you on this
- 27:19Speaker 1: is a great thing to throw at Jason Ocean's when
- 27:22Speaker 1: we come back. But this guy did so much planning, Ben,
- 27:27Speaker 1: but I bet he didn't measure the depth of this
- 27:30Speaker 1: lake and has no idea even though it's big, it's
- 27:35Speaker 1: twenty acres, I guarantee you he didn't know that it
- 27:40Speaker 1: was just four to six feet deep.
- 27:41Speaker 11: And I just found that Google. And if you go
- 27:44Speaker 11: a little bit further north, it looks like there's the
- 27:45Speaker 11: reservoir in the park and that's forty feet deep, So
- 27:48Speaker 11: that is significantly deeper. I mean it's obviously you can
- 27:51Speaker 11: dive that. It just takes a little bit longer to
- 27:52Speaker 11: get down and get up. But four to six feet
- 27:54Speaker 11: is super easy. If they find something, they can just
- 27:56Speaker 11: pop their head out of the water and look at it.
- 27:59Speaker 11: And what he did said is we've done training dives
- 28:01Speaker 11: in local lakes where we have found multiple guns. What
- 28:05Speaker 11: we weren't looking for. I mean, we're just doing a
- 28:06Speaker 11: training dive and we found guns. I found a flint
- 28:08Speaker 11: lock pistol. I wasn't looking for one time, because you know,
- 28:11Speaker 11: in a populated era of people think, oh if I
- 28:13Speaker 11: if I discard a firearm in this lake, nobody will
- 28:15Speaker 11: ever find it. Well, you know it's hard to see,
- 28:17Speaker 11: but if people are looking for it, they're gonna find it.
- 28:20Speaker 11: You know, the New York City Police dive team is
- 28:22Speaker 11: one of the most respected in the world. If it's
- 28:24Speaker 11: in that little area there, they're going to find something.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Luigi Mangioni sitting behind bars
- 28:42Speaker 1: facing the death penalty death buy needle this as he demands,
- 28:47Speaker 1: I want a laptop. Waen waen waen? What that's right?
- 28:51Speaker 1: Mangione's laptop request is now up to the jail after
- 28:56Speaker 1: the judge Anow says the judge has no problem with it. Hmm.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Maybe Emanngioni can better communicate with all of his fans
- 29:04Speaker 1: sending him money and sexy pictures of themselves. But right now,
- 29:08Speaker 1: Emanngioni's request to get a laptop behind bars is up
- 29:11Speaker 1: to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center the MDC, as he awaits
- 29:16Speaker 1: trial in the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- 29:21Speaker 1: His lawyer's proposing he gets a specifically configured laptop that
- 29:25Speaker 1: would only allow him to review case materials. Right, and
- 29:30Speaker 1: did he doesn't have a phone. Okay, let's just stop
- 29:35Speaker 1: right there and remember Brian Thompson bleeding out on the sidewalk.
- 29:41Speaker 1: You think he thought of his two little boys, maybe
- 29:43Speaker 1: his wife. That morning, this is what happened, laptop and
- 29:50Speaker 1: glitzy party at Gustavino's. Be damned. A man napped in
- 29:55Speaker 1: western Pennsylvania in the Altoona area at a local McDonald.
- 30:00Speaker 1: He has now been arrested on charges relating to a gun,
- 30:06Speaker 1: sources telling us it was a so called ghost gun,
- 30:09Speaker 1: a gun that has no serial number that is often
- 30:11Speaker 1: put together with a kit. The parts of the gun
- 30:16Speaker 1: purchased or obtained separately, a ghost gun and a silencer,
- 30:22Speaker 1: along with a hand written manifesto attacking the healthcare industry. Wow,
- 30:28Speaker 1: it's joining me right now is expert Tom Smith, NYPD,
- 30:34Speaker 1: detective thirty years and the star of the gold Shields podcast.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Tom again, thank you for being with us. We've learned
- 30:42Speaker 1: a lot about the gun. At first, it looks like
- 30:46Speaker 1: it's been manipulated with a homemade silencer on it. We
- 30:51Speaker 1: are now understanding that is not a homemade silencer. That
- 30:56Speaker 1: this is a weapon that is often used by narians
- 31:00Speaker 1: to put down that's nice word for it, animals. The
- 31:04Speaker 1: magazine is in the grip, and when many people thought
- 31:09Speaker 1: that it was jamming and he was clearing it after
- 31:12Speaker 1: each shot, which I thought he did really calmly and methodically.
- 31:16Speaker 1: We now know it may be a bolt action that
- 31:19Speaker 1: has to be manually cycled after each shot. That changes things,
- 31:24Speaker 1: Tom Smith.
- 31:24Speaker 8: Yes, it does, because now he knows he's proficient in
- 31:27Speaker 8: that weapon, knowing every time he fires it, he's going
- 31:30Speaker 8: to have to chamber around. And if I could show
- 31:32Speaker 8: you real quick, this is a glock, not the same
- 31:35Speaker 8: weapon that was used, but but similar functioning. Every time
- 31:39Speaker 8: he fires that weapon, he'd have to click it like
- 31:42Speaker 8: this in order to chamber around to fire the next round.
- 31:45Speaker 8: And the thing about him is he knows the weapon
- 31:48Speaker 8: because he knows that's coming. It's not a surprise to him.
- 31:51Speaker 8: So he fires around, has to clear it, fire another round,
- 31:54Speaker 8: clear it, to chamber around each time. And he knows
- 31:58Speaker 8: the weapon and he knows that is coming and has
- 32:01Speaker 8: to do that, and that's why he stays kind of calm.
- 32:04Speaker 8: Any other criminal I've ever dealt with in New York City,
- 32:08Speaker 8: what's a weapons jams, They throw it away, they run.
- 32:11Speaker 8: He knows exactly how this weapon is being used.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Okay, for once, the movie's got it right, Tom Smith.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Because in the movies you always see the person jam
- 32:19Speaker 1: the weapon and they just throw it or they throw
- 32:22Speaker 1: it at the person they're shooting at. Here when you
- 32:26Speaker 1: look at the video, he's walking toward the victim. I
- 32:31Speaker 1: guarantee you, Tom Smith, this guy practiced probably at a
- 32:36Speaker 1: gun range.
- 32:37Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and you probably have practiced with that weapon, because,
- 32:40Speaker 8: like I said, there's a big difference when you're viewing
- 32:43Speaker 8: this whether someone's panicking or anticipating the movement he's doing.
- 32:48Speaker 8: He knows what he has to do to fire that weapon.
- 32:50Speaker 1: You know, I want you to explain one more time
- 32:53Speaker 1: for novices out there about the bolt action. We now
- 32:57Speaker 1: don't believe the gun was jamming. Everybody believe it was
- 33:01Speaker 1: a bolt action that has to be manually recycled after
- 33:06Speaker 1: every shot. Could you explain that and demonstrate one more
- 33:08Speaker 1: time please, Tom.
- 33:10Speaker 8: Yeah, this is a nine millimeter weapon and the magazine
- 33:14Speaker 8: port is in here just like you mentioned, it's at
- 33:16Speaker 8: the bottom of the handle. So once a round is fired,
- 33:19Speaker 8: he has to manually clear that round to chamber another
- 33:23Speaker 8: round in order to fire it. He'll fire it again
- 33:25Speaker 8: and do the same thing over and over again. So,
- 33:28Speaker 8: like I said, he's very aware of how that gun
- 33:31Speaker 8: he's used and what he used to do to fire.
- 33:34Speaker 1: You know another issue, Tom Smith, and I'm going to
- 33:36Speaker 1: bring everybody back in in just a second. But Tom,
- 33:40Speaker 1: another feature of this particular gun that is traditionally used
- 33:44Speaker 1: by veterinarians to put down animals is it has a
- 33:51Speaker 1: very quiet shot, very quiet shot. And the gun we're
- 33:56Speaker 1: talking about has a long as we saw, could you
- 34:01Speaker 1: hold yours up again as a very long barrel like that?
- 34:07Speaker 1: This one even seemed a little bit longer than yours.
- 34:10Speaker 1: And that can be confused because it looks like a silencer,
- 34:15Speaker 1: but it's not.
- 34:16Speaker 8: It's a long weapon and easier to aim because you
- 34:20Speaker 8: have more of an angle of your target in front
- 34:23Speaker 8: of you. So, like I said, he is very aware
- 34:26Speaker 8: of how this weapon is used and what it needs
- 34:28Speaker 8: to do to fight.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Is this gun is a specialized gun. This guy practiced
- 34:35Speaker 1: and practiced, and he had everything planned out. You know,
- 34:38Speaker 1: he practiced with the murder weapon. He didn't just trot
- 34:41Speaker 1: over to Connecticut and buy a gun and then use
- 34:44Speaker 1: it the next day. That did not happen. Think of
- 34:47Speaker 1: the mindset here. This is a gun he brought with
- 34:49Speaker 1: him on a bus, didn't get on a plane because
- 34:52Speaker 1: he couldn't get through TSA with a gun for Pete's sake.
- 34:55Speaker 5: And.
- 34:57Speaker 1: The airlines know who you are, They had your picture,
- 35:00Speaker 1: they have you every three feet in the airport. He
- 35:03Speaker 1: didn't want that. He wanted to travel with his gun.
- 35:07Speaker 1: What criminal that's practiced and practiced and planned and plan
- 35:10Speaker 1: was to use an aligen gun.
- 35:12Speaker 8: Well, it's hard to trace. That's why if you're using
- 35:15Speaker 8: a normal weapon with a serial number and so forth,
- 35:18Speaker 8: it's easily traced, whether you find it in a month
- 35:21Speaker 8: or a year. This we have no idea whether there's
- 35:24Speaker 8: any serial numbers on it, whether there's any distinguishing markings
- 35:28Speaker 8: on it. So it could be very benign in the
- 35:31Speaker 8: in identifying it. And that's why he paid.
- 35:34Speaker 1: What I'm saying, doctor Bethany Marshall, is that this guy
- 35:37Speaker 1: did not just go into a gun shop and buy
- 35:40Speaker 1: the gun just before the murder. If he planned this
- 35:44Speaker 1: methodically to get to Manhattan and to carry out this crime,
- 35:47Speaker 1: staking out the scene the moment he got there November
- 35:50Speaker 1: twenty four to ten pm, he didn't go to bed.
- 35:53Speaker 1: He went to this location where the forum was going
- 35:57Speaker 1: to be held. He didn't buy a new gun. I
- 36:03Speaker 1: don't think I think he brought his preferred weapon with
- 36:06Speaker 1: him after practicing for hours on end.
- 36:08Speaker 7: This guy is upper middle class. This guy has money,
- 36:12Speaker 7: He has disposable money, and he had access to a
- 36:15Speaker 7: weapon in a professional environment. This is not somebody who
- 36:18Speaker 7: goes to a gun shop with a fake ID and
- 36:21Speaker 7: tries to skip the background check and gets a gun.
- 36:24Speaker 6: This is a man who knows this weapon.
- 36:28Speaker 7: This is also a man who has researched where this
- 36:31Speaker 7: CEO is going to be.
- 36:33Speaker 14: Early reports on the shooting of Brian Thompson pointed to
- 36:36Speaker 14: a silencer being used or a modern version of a
- 36:39Speaker 14: rare World War two gun. The investigators found themselves looking
- 36:43Speaker 14: into a Connecticut gun store they believe may have sold
- 36:46Speaker 14: the weapon. That lead did not pan out, but now
- 36:49Speaker 14: Chief Detective Joseph Kenny says they are looking into the
- 36:53Speaker 14: use of a veterinary gun being used as the murder weapon.
- 36:56Speaker 14: Kenny says the weapon is normally used on farms and
- 36:59Speaker 14: ranches and an animal needs to be put down. The
- 37:02Speaker 14: animal can be shot with this type of weapon that
- 37:04Speaker 14: doesn't cause a large noise.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Welcome back. In the last hours, a man nabbed at
- 37:12Speaker 1: a local McDonald's. The twenty six year old taking into
- 37:16Speaker 1: custody on gun charges, apparently had a ghost gun, a silencer,
- 37:22Speaker 1: multiple fake IDs, and a hand written manifesto attacking the
- 37:28Speaker 1: healthcare industry. It's not just this moment. This moment is
- 37:33Speaker 1: the culmination of thousands of law enforcement man hours like this.
- 37:39Speaker 15: Amid speculation that the shooter traveled to New York on
- 37:41Speaker 15: a bus that left from Atlanta, NYPD officers have traveled
- 37:45Speaker 15: south for part of their investigation. APD confirmed through a
- 37:49Speaker 15: statement that its officers are assisting the NYPD investigators, whom
- 37:53Speaker 15: arrived in Atlanta on Saturday. Sources say they are searching
- 37:57Speaker 15: through video from the bus station in town and to
- 38:00Speaker 15: others along the route to New York City. Officers are
- 38:03Speaker 15: working to find a name from tickets purchased for a
- 38:06Speaker 15: November twenty fourth Greyhound trip.
- 38:09Speaker 1: He noticed, the investigative reporter said, looking for a name,
- 38:13Speaker 1: I guarantee you it's not going to be his name.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Let me just say that the security and verification procedures
- 38:20Speaker 1: at the bus station a lot less stringent than it
- 38:23Speaker 1: is at the airport. He could have gone in with
- 38:25Speaker 1: any fake ID and gotten a bus ticket under a
- 38:28Speaker 1: fake name, just like he had a fake ID that
- 38:31Speaker 1: he got out of Jersey, just like he used a
- 38:33Speaker 1: fake ID when he checked into that youth hostel. And
- 38:37Speaker 1: speaking of the youth hostel, Lauren Colin joining the investigative
- 38:40Speaker 1: reporter and star a primetime crime on YouTube, Lauren, much
- 38:46Speaker 1: was made of him flirting with the receptionist. That's not
- 38:49Speaker 1: what happened. We now know that to check into that hostel,
- 38:54Speaker 1: and it's not just at a hostel. That's where they're
- 38:56Speaker 1: doing it. Fancy hotels too. When they say, you know,
- 38:58Speaker 1: we need some ID, look at them. The next time
- 39:01Speaker 1: they ask you that, they look back up at your face. Right. So, yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 1: there was a little flirtation. You can see him smiling
- 39:08Speaker 1: right there. That's about ten thousand dollars worth of orthodontia
- 39:12Speaker 1: on that mouth right there. But that's another can of worms, Lauren. So,
- 39:16Speaker 1: I don't know that the clerk was flirting with him.
- 39:21Speaker 1: She very well may have said, pulled down your mask.
- 39:23Speaker 1: I got to make an ID. I mean, this is
- 39:25Speaker 1: not the ritz, okay, right right, and you're correct, Nancy.
- 39:30Speaker 5: I did visit the hostel, and everybody working there was friendly,
- 39:35Speaker 5: not overly friendly. Something I noticed was that there were
- 39:40Speaker 5: multiple cameras throughout the lobby of the hostel. There were
- 39:43Speaker 5: cameras outside of the hostel as well, so my understanding
- 39:47Speaker 5: is they most likely have multiple angles of this guy,
- 39:51Speaker 5: of this shooter. I also visited the businesses surrounding the hostel.
- 39:56Speaker 5: I went inside to a local bodega. I went inside
- 39:59Speaker 5: to a dunkin and they informed me that they not
- 40:02Speaker 5: do any sort of talking about what they know to
- 40:05Speaker 5: anyone but the NYPD, but also that they turned over
- 40:09Speaker 5: footage as well. So I believe that NYPD is going
- 40:13Speaker 5: through all of the footage they have right now, which, look,
- 40:16Speaker 5: it's gonna take some time. This is not gonna happen overnight,
- 40:19Speaker 5: but I think there's going to be a lot more
- 40:22Speaker 5: and stills being released of this guy and what he
- 40:25Speaker 5: did during his time in New York before the shooting.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Straight out to you, Cheryl McCollum, let's look at this guy.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Who is he? Based on everything we know right.
- 40:34Speaker 10: Now, Nancy, I think one thing that's imperative that everybody's
- 40:38Speaker 10: not mentioning is when you talk to the clerk at
- 40:40Speaker 10: the hostel. If this were my case, the first thing
- 40:43Speaker 10: I would have asked her is does he have an accent?
- 40:47Speaker 10: And that's why I think again, they are focused on Atlanta.
- 40:50Speaker 10: They know where the bus originated, they know what he
- 40:53Speaker 10: sounds like. If he's from here, they're gonna know it.
- 40:56Speaker 10: The other thing about that weapon, remember we have three words,
- 41:01Speaker 10: which means three possible showcasing. So that gun either jams
- 41:06Speaker 10: and we have an unspent or we have three spent,
- 41:09Speaker 10: which means he missed one.
- 41:11Speaker 1: Possibly a ghost gun, a silence, sir, fake IDs, and
- 41:17Speaker 1: a handwritten manifesto attacking the healthcare industry. Sounds like our guy.
- 41:24Speaker 1: But what else led to this detainment in Pennsylvania? To
- 41:30Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall joining us for now it psychoanalyst way in,
- 41:33Speaker 1: doctor Bethany, what's your take on it? Who is he?
- 41:36Speaker 6: Nancy? This guy is upper middle class, he's educated. He
- 41:40Speaker 6: knew to do this hit.
- 41:43Speaker 7: At the healthcare conference because he's sending a message. If
- 41:46Speaker 7: he did it at a traffic stop or at the
- 41:48Speaker 7: victim's home, it would not send the message. The scribbling
- 41:52Speaker 7: on the ammunition he caught that from researching internal documents
- 41:59Speaker 7: at insurance and companies and citing words that employees or
- 42:04Speaker 7: claims processors use to deny claims. I am going to
- 42:09Speaker 7: guess that he had a family member who has denied care,
- 42:13Speaker 7: and because of that denied care, the family member died
- 42:16Speaker 7: and he cannot get over it. So this is although
- 42:20Speaker 7: he looks like a street thug on you know, at
- 42:23Speaker 7: first glance.
- 42:23Speaker 12: He is not.
- 42:24Speaker 1: He's got a square chin, perfect teeth, wax between the eyebrows,
- 42:32Speaker 1: eyes going slightly down at the outer edges. He can
- 42:37Speaker 1: change a lot, but there are some things he can't change,
- 42:41Speaker 1: like his fingerprints and DNA.
- 42:43Speaker 13: Joe Scott, Yep, you're absolutely right. Those are unique to him, Nancy.
- 42:49Speaker 13: And here's one other thing. I did a little digging
- 42:51Speaker 13: one of this this weapon that they keep referring to,
- 42:54Speaker 13: that's the veterinarian euthanasia weapon. They believe might be a
- 42:58Speaker 13: what's referred to as a State six brand weapon. My
- 43:03Speaker 13: research revealed that there are essentially, I think either four
- 43:07Speaker 13: or five locations in the metro area where these can
- 43:12Speaker 13: be specifically purchased. And I think that if they believe
- 43:17Speaker 13: that that's what this is and that he transported it,
- 43:19Speaker 13: I think you're on the money here. Relative to getting
- 43:22Speaker 13: on a bus with this thing, he may have picked
- 43:24Speaker 13: it up down there at some point in time, and
- 43:28Speaker 13: it's not a very efficient weapon for doing the task
- 43:30Speaker 13: that he was trying to do. So I don't know,
- 43:33Speaker 13: maybe he was trying to you know, he's not going
- 43:36Speaker 13: to draw attention to himself, like when you buy a
- 43:39Speaker 13: suppressor separately from a weapon perhaps, and it's not very
- 43:44Speaker 13: efficient because you have to you lose your site picture
- 43:47Speaker 13: every time you have to rotate that bolt on the
- 43:50Speaker 13: back of that weapon, which is what he's doing. He's
- 43:52Speaker 13: spending it. I think that many of the answers that
- 43:56Speaker 13: we're looking for are probably going to rest as well.
- 44:00Speaker 13: And this is something that we will hear a lot about,
- 44:02Speaker 13: I believe, with United Healthcare and their chief security officer,
- 44:06Speaker 13: who was actually hired back in August of twenty twenty three,
- 44:10Speaker 13: I want to know what she knows. I want to
- 44:12Speaker 13: know what her assets know within that business. Are their
- 44:16Speaker 13: letters that have been written, are their lawsuits that have
- 44:20Speaker 13: been filed relative to what doctor Bethany mentioned about healthcare
- 44:25Speaker 13: claims that may have been blown off or maybe they
- 44:27Speaker 13: didn't receive what they wanted. But trust me, the security
- 44:31Speaker 13: apparatus within that company is going to be working on well.
- 44:34Speaker 1: MANGIONI can enjoy his laptop and the insurance pr jurus
- 44:40Speaker 1: and CEOs can enjoy their champagne. I will look forward
- 44:45Speaker 1: to the jury trial of Luigi Mangioni. Goodbye friend,
