- 0:22Speaker 2: the same fans are outraged at comparisons between Luigimi and
- 0:29Speaker 2: Gioni and the Charlie Kirk killer. I'm Nancy Grace. This
- 0:35Speaker 2: is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for being
- 0:37Speaker 2: with us. First of all, Luigi Mangioni is caught on
- 0:43Speaker 2: video gunning down a healthcare boss, right Brian Thompson, minding
- 0:51Speaker 2: his own business, going to some sort of a conference
- 0:53Speaker 2: in downtown Manhattan, when Mangione, according to the.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Video, comes up behind him and him dead on the sidewalk.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Remember father of two.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Now, the Mangioni fans are thrilled when a judge dismisses
- 1:11Speaker 2: two of the most serious charges against Mangione. What judge
- 1:16Speaker 2: Judge Gregory Caro claiming the evidence was legally insufficient for
- 1:22Speaker 2: murdering the first degree?
- 1:24Speaker 1: What isn't that up.
- 1:26Speaker 2: To a jury? This leaves him with one count of
- 1:30Speaker 2: murder in the second degree. How has this happened? This
- 1:34Speaker 2: is a huge legal win for Mangione. Mangione paraded into
- 1:40Speaker 2: the Manhattan Supreme Court looking stoic, and then got the
- 1:45Speaker 2: good news. This is Supporters thronged the outside of the
- 1:49Speaker 2: downtown Manhattan Courthouse. This was Mangioni's first appearance since the
- 1:54Speaker 2: murder of Charlie Kirk, another high profile case that has
- 1:59Speaker 2: been compared to Mangionies and like the Kurrent assassin, mangione wrote,
- 2:08Speaker 2: deny depos and delay on the bullets.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Wow, what a wack adoodle. These are the facts.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Earlier this morning in Altuna, Pennsylvania, members of the Altuna
- 2:23Speaker 3: Police Department arrested Luigi Mangioni, a twenty six year old
- 2:28Speaker 3: mail on firearms charges. At this time, he is believed
- 2:32Speaker 3: to be our person of interest.
- 2:34Speaker 2: From what we understand, McDonald's employee and Altoona in Western
- 2:39Speaker 2: Pennsylvania spotted the guy and thinks he looked like the
- 2:46Speaker 2: health Boss assassin, probably trying to use a fake ID
- 2:51Speaker 2: in a McDonald's. According to law enforcement and The New
- 2:55Speaker 2: York Post, the man being eyed for the cold blooded
- 2:59Speaker 2: ex execution of Brian Thompson. The guy has a gun,
- 3:04Speaker 2: a silencer for fake IDs, and other items consistent with
- 3:10Speaker 2: what Elie was looking for in the case. But is
- 3:14Speaker 2: it him? Does he match this description? According to a
- 3:18Speaker 2: McDonald's employee, he does.
- 3:21Speaker 1: What else do we know? Where?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Is Altoona, Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania, two hundred and eighty miles
- 3:27Speaker 2: away from Manhattan, a little over a five hour drive.
- 3:33Speaker 2: But the manhunt across the nation going in every direction
- 3:38Speaker 2: from Manhattan. Divers, drones, you name it, all used employed
- 3:45Speaker 2: to find the killer of the health care boss.
- 3:50Speaker 1: What led to the detainment of this guy?
- 3:53Speaker 2: We also understand that in his possession is a New
- 3:58Speaker 2: Jersey at Fay idate, possibly used to check into that
- 4:04Speaker 2: Manhattan hostile police press conference.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Listen.
- 4:07Speaker 4: A man was taken into custody today at Altuda, Pennsylvania
- 4:10Speaker 4: this morning. He has been identified as Luigi Nicholas Mangioni.
- 4:14Speaker 4: He's a male, twenty six years old. He was born
- 4:17Speaker 4: and raised in Maryland. We know he has tis to
- 4:20Speaker 4: San Francisco, California, and his last known address was Honolulu, Hawaii.
- 4:25Speaker 4: He has no prior arrest history in New York. Members
- 4:28Speaker 4: of the NYPD Detective Bureau are currently traveling to Pennsylvania
- 4:32Speaker 4: with members of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to interview
- 4:35Speaker 4: this subject.
- 4:36Speaker 5: This case was brought to a successful.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Conclusion based on the coordinated effort between numerous NYPD units,
- 4:42Speaker 4: including the Intelligence and counter Terrorism Bureau, our federal partners
- 4:46Speaker 4: at the FBI, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, and of course,
- 4:51Speaker 4: members of the Altoona Police Department in Pennsylvania.
- 4:54Speaker 5: On Thursday, one day after.
- 4:56Speaker 4: This crime was committed, the NYPD released a photo of
- 4:59Speaker 4: the shooter in this case. This picture was obtained by
- 5:01Speaker 4: the NYPD during one of their extensive video canvases. We
- 5:05Speaker 4: took that photograph and we asked for the public's health
- 5:08Speaker 4: and identifying this subject, and the public responded. Hundreds of
- 5:11Speaker 4: tips began to pour into our hotline. Each tip was
- 5:14Speaker 4: investigated thoroughly, and we began to release additional photographs as
- 5:19Speaker 4: they came into our possession. The NYPD provided these photos
- 5:23Speaker 4: to numerous media outlets, Local, national, and international outlets released
- 5:28Speaker 4: the photo via television, print, social media, and online content. Luckily,
- 5:33Speaker 4: a citizen in Pennsylvania recognized.
- 5:35Speaker 5: Our subject and called local law enforcement.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Members of the Altoona Police Department responded to the call,
- 5:41Speaker 4: and based on their investigation, they notified the NYPD. This
- 5:45Speaker 4: investigation is still active and ongoing.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Thank you very much.
- 5:50Speaker 6: I had a couple questions about give the document that
- 5:52Speaker 6: he was found in possession with. Can you go a
- 5:55Speaker 6: little bit more in depth about those motivations that you mentioned,
- 5:58Speaker 6: was that's the specifically meaned in that document? Was there
- 6:02Speaker 6: anything more about him willing to go after others? And
- 6:06Speaker 6: also in that document, was there any indication that explains
- 6:10Speaker 6: us how the level of detail as he went into
- 6:13Speaker 6: killing him, like, is there anything.
- 6:15Speaker 4: That that document is currently in the possession of the
- 6:17Speaker 4: auto and a police department as part of their investigation,
- 6:20Speaker 4: but just from briefly speaking with them, we don't think
- 6:22Speaker 4: that there's any specific threats to other people mentioned in
- 6:25Speaker 4: that document, but it does seem that he has some.
- 6:28Speaker 5: Ill will towards corporate America.
- 6:30Speaker 7: Can you point to a single linchpin that held practice case.
- 6:34Speaker 5: There's numerous lynchpins in this case.
- 6:36Speaker 4: And the fact that we've recovered an enormous amount of
- 6:40Speaker 4: forensic evidence, an enormous amount of video, and once again
- 6:44Speaker 4: with your help and the public SELP so I couldn't.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I really couldn't put it on one thing, but if
- 6:49Speaker 4: I had to, it would be the release of that
- 6:50Speaker 4: photograph from the media. We had divers in the Ward
- 6:53Speaker 4: yesterday that came up negative results the passport. We don't
- 6:56Speaker 4: believe that he was planning on doing any traveling at
- 6:58Speaker 4: this time. We don't think he at this point investigation,
- 7:00Speaker 4: we don't think he was trying to flee the country.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Person at McDonald's were they buying? What were they doing at.
- 7:04Speaker 8: That exact comport?
- 7:06Speaker 5: He was an employee at the McDonald's.
- 7:08Speaker 9: But what was the aspector?
- 7:10Speaker 5: Dudes, he was sitting there reading nada from the New
- 7:12Speaker 5: York Post. I was just hoping to get more details
- 7:14Speaker 5: of the capture itself. Did he put up a fight?
- 7:17Speaker 6: Did he say it through the cops?
- 7:18Speaker 3: And we've also recorded that he published online anti health
- 7:22Speaker 3: KA industry rantings.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Can you share with us some of the services that
- 7:26Speaker 1: he posted on.
- 7:27Speaker 4: We're still working through his social media and we're going
- 7:29Speaker 4: to do a complete scrub of that Preliminarily, like I said,
- 7:32Speaker 4: he seems that he has some ill will tod Corporate America,
- 7:35Speaker 4: but that will all come out as part of our investigation.
- 7:37Speaker 4: We're not done here. We're still going to be putting
- 7:39Speaker 4: this together. We're still going to be working very hard
- 7:41Speaker 4: to bring this to a successful conclusion.
- 7:42Speaker 2: A ghost gun a silence, sir, Fake IDs and a
- 7:48Speaker 2: handwritten manifesto attacking the healthcare industry.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Sounds like our guy. But what else led to this
- 7:58Speaker 1: entertainment in Pennsylvania?
- 8:00Speaker 2: Hey, doctor Bethany Marshall joining us renown psychoalyst out of La,
- 8:04Speaker 2: author of deal Breaker. You can see her on Peacock Now,
- 8:06Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany. The theory that the assassin meant to scatter
- 8:13Speaker 2: toy Monopoly money over the dead body.
- 8:16Speaker 1: That tells me a lot about him.
- 8:18Speaker 2: He's got a lot of time sitting in somebody's basement,
- 8:22Speaker 2: thinking and plotting. It almost rules out a day job
- 8:27Speaker 2: in my mind. But that said, we know he's white male.
- 8:31Speaker 2: We know he's gotten money and a guy that can
- 8:35Speaker 2: fund himself cash wise for nearly two weeks in Manhattan.
- 8:41Speaker 2: We also know that while he may have meant to
- 8:44Speaker 2: scatter fake monopoly money all over the dead body, sending
- 8:47Speaker 2: a message as if the nine millimeter bullet didn't do that,
- 8:52Speaker 2: he didn't leave the money behind. But he did leave
- 8:55Speaker 2: behind a water bottle with DNA and fingerprints on it.
- 8:58Speaker 2: He left behind a candy or bar wrapper. He left
- 9:02Speaker 2: behind a burner phone. If they can break into that
- 9:05Speaker 2: burner flyown burner found that is going to be a
- 9:08Speaker 2: tremendous source of evidence. But he forgot to strow the.
- 9:12Speaker 7: Money, Nancy, he forgot it. This guy is obsessional. In
- 9:16Speaker 7: the crime world, you may say methodical. I say obsessional,
- 9:19Speaker 7: meaning he has been thinking about this for a long
- 9:23Speaker 7: long time. When I have a patient like this come
- 9:26Speaker 7: into my Beverly Hills office, they usually are enraged at
- 9:29Speaker 7: one person and that is all they can talk about.
- 9:33Speaker 7: What they would like to do, what the person's look
- 9:35Speaker 7: on their face would be like, you know, Nancy, With
- 9:38Speaker 7: obsessional paranoia the person the person sort of alleviates their
- 9:45Speaker 7: rage by constantly thinking about inflicting harm on the victim.
- 9:51Speaker 7: But I also think although he obsessed about this and
- 9:54Speaker 7: planted it out this was his first crime, he did
- 9:57Speaker 7: not He did not think about what it would be
- 9:59Speaker 7: like to drop a candy wrapper, drop the water bottle.
- 10:04Speaker 7: He didn't have time to plan them. You didn't have
- 10:07Speaker 7: time to scatter the monopoly money.
- 10:10Speaker 1: This was all in his head. You'd never practiced before.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Hey, you know what, Tom Smith, former NYPD, knows this
- 10:16Speaker 2: area like the back of his hand. Tom the burner,
- 10:20Speaker 2: the cell phone. I mean, there's an outside chance it's
- 10:23Speaker 2: his actual cell phone. But the reports we're hearing is
- 10:25Speaker 2: it's a burner phone. Lauren Colin, Yes, no burner phone,
- 10:28Speaker 2: actual phone, burner phone, Nancy tom Smith.
- 10:31Speaker 1: What I'm coming to you about is the phone? What
- 10:35Speaker 1: an idiot? I think Bethany's right.
- 10:37Speaker 2: This may be his first time at the rodeo, and
- 10:39Speaker 2: you know, like, well, let me think of a good one.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Robert Blake. Remember when he and his henchman.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Got his bodyguards, got together and murdered Bondi Lee Bakley, and.
- 10:51Speaker 1: They had this extensive to do list.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Very often you can catch the purp because of their
- 10:56Speaker 2: to do list and they're over planning, right. Uh. But
- 11:01Speaker 2: the burner phone, they're really hard to break into. You
- 11:03Speaker 2: do you remember in the Alexan Burrogg trial they had
- 11:07Speaker 2: to bring in the Secret Service to crack his phone.
- 11:09Speaker 9: Yeah, and I agree with Lauren, it's a burner phone
- 11:12Speaker 9: and who knows what's on there? Yeah, he could just
- 11:15Speaker 9: use it for simple things. Again, if he plans it
- 11:17Speaker 9: out and knows Berner phones and what to use them for,
- 11:21Speaker 9: there may not be a lot on there, but the
- 11:24Speaker 9: ability to break in there might not be that difficult
- 11:26Speaker 9: because of the low technology that Bernard Phone and giugi
- 11:30Speaker 9: Are and the limited amount of information that'll be on.
- 11:33Speaker 2: There, all the surveillance video, all the pictures that we've
- 11:36Speaker 2: got so far, talking on the phone just before the murder. Hey,
- 11:41Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany Marshall, and then I'm going to follow up
- 11:43Speaker 2: with renowned defense attorney Jason Oceans.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany, He's not worried. Look at him.
- 11:49Speaker 2: He has practiced this over and over and over. He
- 11:52Speaker 2: has been watching the victim like a hawk from the
- 11:56Speaker 2: moment the victim got into town. This guy knows the
- 12:00Speaker 2: itinerary by heart. He knew that there was a breakfast,
- 12:04Speaker 2: he knew that that started at eight o'clock. He knew
- 12:08Speaker 2: that the victim was going over ahead of time from
- 12:11Speaker 2: the Hilton over to the Executive Forum where he was
- 12:15Speaker 2: set to speak that morning. Now, all of this surveillance
- 12:19Speaker 2: video is from individuals and businesses along the trek.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Check it out.
- 12:26Speaker 2: So what I'm getting at, Dr Bethany, this guy's cold, cool,
- 12:31Speaker 2: and calculated.
- 12:32Speaker 7: This is definitely cold blooded and methodical. To use the
- 12:35Speaker 7: panel's term, Nancy, There's one thing this guy forgot to do.
- 12:40Speaker 7: He didn't watch the Nancy Grace Show. Because if he
- 12:42Speaker 7: had he would have known that there were surveillance cameras
- 12:46Speaker 7: all along that street. And that fifteen minute phone call.
- 12:50Speaker 7: That makes me wonder if this is like the DC
- 12:52Speaker 7: Sniper where an older, more ruthless person recruited a younger person,
- 12:57Speaker 7: or that he's acting in concert with somebody else and
- 13:00Speaker 7: that's why he's on that phone.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Hey, Lauren, it was a call fifteen minutes before the shooting,
- 13:06Speaker 2: not a fifteen minute phone call.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Correct.
- 13:08Speaker 10: Correct, The phone call occurred at six thirty am, so
- 13:12Speaker 10: doctor Bethany.
- 13:13Speaker 2: But I agree with what you were saying. But he
- 13:15Speaker 2: did not yact for fifteen minutes. It's almost as if
- 13:18Speaker 2: he's checking in because I'm wondering is he speaking or
- 13:21Speaker 2: is he listening?
- 13:23Speaker 1: I can't tell. Plus his mouth is covered right there.
- 13:26Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Jason Ocean is joining me renow defense attorney joining us
- 13:30Speaker 2: out of this jurisdiction.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Who also, You and I have walked this track before.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Together at Jason Ocean, So back around.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Por TV and hl N Day's.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Jason absolutely the reason I'm wondering if he was listening
- 13:46Speaker 2: to something and not talking.
- 13:49Speaker 1: I prosecuted an arson.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Murder and just before the guy brined his mansion down
- 13:56Speaker 2: and tried to fake that his wife died in the
- 13:58Speaker 2: fire from smokinghilation.
- 14:01Speaker 1: He called and checked the weather channel.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Jason, I was so happy he called and checked the
- 14:07Speaker 2: weather channel to find out if it was going to
- 14:10Speaker 2: rain the day he was setting the house on fire.
- 14:14Speaker 1: So, for all I know.
- 14:15Speaker 2: This guy's checking the bus schedule or checking was Now.
- 14:18Speaker 2: I know he was not on a flight. I know
- 14:20Speaker 2: he was on a bus. But every time I'm headed
- 14:22Speaker 2: to Legardia, I call or I check online to see
- 14:26Speaker 2: if my delta flight is delayed. Okay, how do I
- 14:30Speaker 2: know if he was just checking something or actually speaking
- 14:33Speaker 2: to someone. In Bethany's train of thought, what if he
- 14:37Speaker 2: called someone it was a quick callment, Hey I'm on
- 14:40Speaker 2: the way right now, I'm walking, I just passed Starbucks.
- 14:43Speaker 1: It could be that. It could be anything, NTI I.
- 14:46Speaker 11: Think the theory that, you know, the potential theory that
- 14:49Speaker 11: he was directed by someone and that's why he was
- 14:51Speaker 11: on the phone is fascinating.
- 14:53Speaker 5: And then also struck.
- 14:54Speaker 11: By that his lack of knowledge, you know, the overall
- 15:00Speaker 11: aspect of the cameras that are everywhere. I think you
- 15:02Speaker 11: didn't plan for that. That was the one thing in
- 15:05Speaker 11: this seemingly meticulous planning that was that was not done.
- 15:08Speaker 11: But that phone call could be very critical if we
- 15:12Speaker 11: can find out if it was an incoming or an
- 15:14Speaker 11: outgoing call, and the limited technology it has in the
- 15:17Speaker 11: ability to bust that phone up.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I got to figure out how the Secret Service actually
- 15:22Speaker 2: cracks it.
- 15:22Speaker 1: You'd think it would be easy.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Because you know, Cheryl McCollum with me forensic expert. When
- 15:28Speaker 2: I was researching for my last book, Don't Be a Victim,
- 15:31Speaker 2: I found out that about I think it was seventy
- 15:34Speaker 2: percent or eighty percent, some crazy astronomical number of people
- 15:40Speaker 2: still use the factory code that they had on answer machines,
- 15:46Speaker 2: or they do one two three four is their code,
- 15:49Speaker 2: or one one one one, or of course sixty nine
- 15:52Speaker 2: sixty nine that's now tried and true, or let's see
- 15:55Speaker 2: lucky numbers that they come up with, like seven seven
- 15:59Speaker 2: seven seven.
- 16:00Speaker 1: It's so predictable.
- 16:03Speaker 2: But then you got somebody like this who's uh half smart,
- 16:08Speaker 2: and he's probably got some bizarre code on his cellphone
- 16:12Speaker 2: the burner. You know how long it took them to
- 16:15Speaker 2: crack Alex Murdog's final They had to bring in the
- 16:18Speaker 2: Secret Service to.
- 16:18Speaker 12: Do it exactly mean, if you look at that phone call,
- 16:21Speaker 12: could have been something as simple as he called him
- 16:23Speaker 12: seek to work because he knew he wouldn't gonna make it.
- 16:26Speaker 12: Who you can call it? Six forty five am is
- 16:28Speaker 12: a very small group of people, So it could have
- 16:31Speaker 12: been he's checking the bus schedule because he's believing that
- 16:34Speaker 12: morning and wants to make sure that's smart.
- 16:37Speaker 1: It's smart smart.
- 16:38Speaker 2: Wait, you just really gave me clue, Cheryl, who are
- 16:43Speaker 2: you going to call at six o'clock.
- 16:45Speaker 1: In the morning? Okay, not very many people.
- 16:49Speaker 12: Okay, go ahead, because if you call your mom or
- 16:51Speaker 12: a sister or something like that, you're going to scare
- 16:53Speaker 12: the day like that of them. So it's got to
- 16:55Speaker 12: be somebody that's obvious. So you can leave a message
- 16:59Speaker 12: for somebody because you, oh, they're not at work yet,
- 17:01Speaker 12: you can check the bus schedule. I'm not as interested
- 17:04Speaker 12: in that as I am his other messages. What he
- 17:07Speaker 12: wrote on the shellcasing the threat before the murder, the
- 17:11Speaker 12: fact that he would choose New York and not the victim,
- 17:14Speaker 12: Poe state, why not shoot him at any red light
- 17:17Speaker 12: going to work?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Oh, Cheryl, Cheryl, you just gave me another tidbit hold on.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody.
- 17:24Speaker 2: At first we were led to believe that the bullets
- 17:27Speaker 2: were engraved in some way with.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Deny defend deposed.
- 17:36Speaker 2: We now know it was written with black sharp which
- 17:41Speaker 2: tells me even more. Do you know that you can
- 17:44Speaker 2: get a handwriting sample off of that? Not that I
- 17:48Speaker 2: think police are going to need a handwriting sample when
- 17:51Speaker 2: they've got fingerprints in DNA, But you never know what
- 17:53Speaker 2: might click with the jury.
- 17:55Speaker 12: What about it, Cheryl one hundred percent. But again it
- 17:58Speaker 12: tells you he took extra time to leave a message
- 18:02Speaker 12: on shellcasings. He took extra time to get the monopoly money.
- 18:06Speaker 12: That's a message. Shooting him in New York City the
- 18:09Speaker 12: morning of that meeting was a message. He could have
- 18:12Speaker 12: shot him anytime in his home, stated a red light,
- 18:15Speaker 12: but he didn't. This is somebody that was a laser
- 18:18Speaker 12: focus about his intended target and his motive.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Period crime stories with Nancy Grace, The sad sack lovelorn
- 18:39Speaker 2: fans of Luigi Mangone alternately thrilled and miserable at the
- 18:45Speaker 2: same time, thrilled that some of the most serious charges
- 18:49Speaker 2: against mange On he had been dropped by some crackpot
- 18:52Speaker 2: judge before it could even get to a jury.
- 18:56Speaker 1: And miserable because Mangione is being compared to the Charlie
- 19:03Speaker 1: Kirk assassin.
- 19:05Speaker 2: And they don't like that.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Oh well, here are the facts.
- 19:08Speaker 3: The suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized by
- 19:11Speaker 3: an employee, who then called local police. Responding officers questioned
- 19:16Speaker 3: the suspect, who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple
- 19:20Speaker 3: fraudulent IDs as well as a US passport.
- 19:24Speaker 2: First, i want to go out to our dive expert.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I'm curious about the search in the lake at Central Park.
- 19:32Speaker 13: The New York Police Department dive team is called into
- 19:35Speaker 13: action after the discovery of the backpack near Hexher Playground.
- 19:38Speaker 13: The divers are seen trawling a Central Park pond behind
- 19:41Speaker 13: an area cordoned off with police tape next to Bethesda Fountain,
- 19:44Speaker 13: in a body of water known as the Lake near
- 19:46Speaker 13: Central Park boat House. The NYPD has been searching Central
- 19:49Speaker 13: Park since the gunman was seen escaping on an ee
- 19:51Speaker 13: bike into the park.
- 19:52Speaker 14: Police have not yet recovered.
- 19:54Speaker 13: The distinctive gun used in the shooting, and it's unclear
- 19:56Speaker 13: if officers recovered any evidence from the water.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Special guest Ben Dobrian Virginia Beach Emergency Medical Services also
- 20:07Speaker 2: the Dean of Professional Services at Virginia Wesleyan University. He
- 20:12Speaker 2: is an expert diver and he is actually a dive instructor. Well.
- 20:17Speaker 8: I do a lot of police diving also and just
- 20:19Speaker 8: into emergency diving. And so I'm looking at this on
- 20:22Speaker 8: Google Maps, and it's a relatively closed area, so that
- 20:24Speaker 8: makes it a lot easier than having to go into
- 20:26Speaker 8: the ocean or you know, a great lake or the
- 20:28Speaker 8: Chestpea Bay, So it makes it a lot easier for
- 20:30Speaker 8: the divers. It's also I just looked it up, it's
- 20:32Speaker 8: only four to six feet deep, so that also makes
- 20:35Speaker 8: it a lot more simple to do a dive operation.
- 20:37Speaker 8: But what they're could be doing is they're could be
- 20:39Speaker 8: looking for anything that they can find. And one thing
- 20:41Speaker 8: that your listeners and watchers need to understand is anything
- 20:45Speaker 8: that exists above water exists underwater. People use it as
- 20:48Speaker 8: a garbage dump. We find you name it, bikes, washing machines,
- 20:54Speaker 8: shopping carts, so there's a lot of debris. The more
- 20:56Speaker 8: people that are around, the more people use that as
- 20:58Speaker 8: a dumping grounds. Two things that I imagine they're looking for
- 21:01Speaker 8: just listening to the different news reports and listening to you.
- 21:04Speaker 8: They're looking for the firearm obviously, but that telephone also,
- 21:08Speaker 8: they're looking for that. You know, those are both very
- 21:10Speaker 8: small items that are relatively easy to discard, and one
- 21:14Speaker 8: of the things that if you find an item like that,
- 21:16Speaker 8: you're gonna have to recover it. Evidence recovery is the
- 21:19Speaker 8: same underwater as it is above water from the police perspective,
- 21:22Speaker 8: but the one thing we have to keep in mind
- 21:24Speaker 8: is that it's in a different environment. Evidence above water
- 21:27Speaker 8: is in air, so you all if you do is
- 21:29Speaker 8: keep it in the air. But evidence that's recovered underwater
- 21:31Speaker 8: you have to recover it with the water. If you
- 21:33Speaker 8: take it out of the water, things start to break
- 21:36Speaker 8: down relatively quickly. When I'm talking about specifically is fingerprints
- 21:39Speaker 8: if you take something out of the water, and fingerprints
- 21:42Speaker 8: can last for about a week underwater, so the clock
- 21:45Speaker 8: is ticking. But if you remove whether it's a firearm
- 21:49Speaker 8: or the telephone or any piece of evidence, you're going
- 21:51Speaker 8: to want to take it out of the water and
- 21:54Speaker 8: just bring some of the local water with it and
- 21:56Speaker 8: then bring that to your forensics office, and then they're
- 21:59Speaker 8: going to drain the water and then do all the
- 22:01Speaker 8: magic that they do to get the fingerprints off of it.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Okay, Ben Dobrin is joining me, not only dean Professional
- 22:07Speaker 2: Services at Virginia Westley, and he is a dive instructor
- 22:11Speaker 2: and a police diver. Now, Ben, you just taught me
- 22:14Speaker 2: something I didn't know. Number One, when items are taken
- 22:19Speaker 2: out of the water, you have to preserve them in
- 22:23Speaker 2: preferably the ambiance water the water in which they were in,
- 22:28Speaker 2: because the moment they hit the air, it starts to degrade.
- 22:32Speaker 2: For instance, fingerprints. Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University,
- 22:37Speaker 2: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, and star
- 22:40Speaker 2: of a.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Hit series Body Bags.
- 22:42Speaker 2: With Joe Scott Morgan, I wanted to talk to you
- 22:44Speaker 2: about the gun, but I want to follow up on
- 22:46Speaker 2: what Dobrain is telling us. Yes, prints are preserved underwater
- 22:51Speaker 2: because Prince fingerprints are based on the oil in the
- 22:56Speaker 2: body oil water.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Get it. You can explain better than me. Go ahead.
- 23:00Speaker 15: Yeah, Our fingerprints come about as a result of the
- 23:03Speaker 15: discharge of the fatty lipids that we have in the
- 23:05Speaker 15: pores that surround the print that's left behind. Remember, we
- 23:10Speaker 15: don't have fingerprints on the tips of our fingers. We
- 23:13Speaker 15: have friction ridges that leave behind fingerprints. So in this
- 23:17Speaker 15: particular case, we believe that this is a weapon that
- 23:22Speaker 15: has a magazine in it, Nancy. So if you have
- 23:25Speaker 15: a magazine, that means that you're going to be pressing
- 23:28Speaker 15: down on the rounds as you're loading the magazine in,
- 23:32Speaker 15: and also you're touching that surface of the magazine. The
- 23:36Speaker 15: magazine is this then fitted into essentially the grip of
- 23:41Speaker 15: this weapon, and it's kind of in a protected space there.
- 23:45Speaker 15: So what Ben is talking about is right on the money.
- 23:48Speaker 15: You have this protected space. If you can keep this
- 23:51Speaker 15: in the water that it comes from and take that
- 23:55Speaker 15: into the lab, they can get around that weapon pretty
- 23:59Speaker 15: quickly raise any kind of latent prints that might be there.
- 24:03Speaker 2: You did that so eloquently, Joe Scott, I would have
- 24:05Speaker 2: just said, you know, like oil and water don't mix.
- 24:09Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm saying here.
- 24:11Speaker 15: That one more thing about it, please, Jun Yeah, you
- 24:17Speaker 15: think about you know, Ben had mentioned how densely populated,
- 24:21Speaker 15: and all of us have been to Manhattan, how densely
- 24:25Speaker 15: populated this area. This guy and pay very close than
- 24:29Speaker 15: you what I'm about to say. This guy, if he
- 24:31Speaker 15: did this. He ain't the first person to think about
- 24:33Speaker 15: dumping a weapon into that lake, all right, So they
- 24:37Speaker 15: have a herculean task at hand here dealing around, dealing
- 24:43Speaker 15: in this filthy water where they're going to be using
- 24:47Speaker 15: their hands, crawling along. How many other weapons are in there?
- 24:51Speaker 15: Just because you find a firearm merged doesn't mean it's
- 24:55Speaker 15: the firearm that was used.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Ben, I want to follow up with you on this.
- 25:00Speaker 2: That's a great thing to throw it in Chason Ocean's
- 25:02Speaker 2: when we come back. But this guy did so much planning, Ben,
- 25:07Speaker 2: But I bet he didn't measure the depth of this
- 25:10Speaker 2: lake and has no idea even though it's big, it's
- 25:15Speaker 2: twenty acres, I.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Guarantee you he didn't know that it was just four
- 25:21Speaker 1: to six feet deep.
- 25:22Speaker 8: And I just found that Google. And as you go
- 25:24Speaker 8: a little bit further north, it looks like there's the
- 25:26Speaker 8: reservoir in the park and that's forty feet deep, So
- 25:29Speaker 8: that is significantly deeper. I mean, it's obviously you can
- 25:31Speaker 8: dive that. It just takes a little bit longer to
- 25:33Speaker 8: get down and get up. But four to six feet
- 25:35Speaker 8: is super easy. If they find something, they can just
- 25:36Speaker 8: pop their head out of the water.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Mangioni's fan group, mostly young females, all wore t shirts
- 25:58Speaker 2: in his honor, one that said Luigi's Pizza Brooklyn. Really.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Some were masks in another quote tribute, like the one
- 26:08Speaker 2: he is said to have worn while murdering CEO Health
- 26:14Speaker 2: Boss Brian Thompson, trying to hide his identity. Sometimes she
- 26:21Speaker 2: was there because healthcare is a human right. Oh really? Okay,
- 26:26Speaker 2: Well that's not what murder is about, she says. She
- 26:29Speaker 2: sees Mangioni as a quote symbol.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Okay.
- 26:36Speaker 1: These are the facts.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Nabbed in western Pennsylvania in the Altoona area at a
- 26:42Speaker 2: local McDonald's. He has now been arrested on charges relating
- 26:48Speaker 2: to a gun, sources telling us it was a so
- 26:51Speaker 2: called ghost gun, a gun that has no serial number
- 26:55Speaker 2: that is often put together with a kit the parts
- 26:59Speaker 2: of the gun purchased or obtained separately, a ghost gun
- 27:04Speaker 2: and a silencer, along with a hand written manifesto attacking
- 27:09Speaker 2: the healthcare industry.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Wow.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Joining me right now is expert Tom Smith, NYPD, detective
- 27:18Speaker 2: thirty years and the star of the gold Shields podcast.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Tom Again, thank you for being with us. We've learned
- 27:26Speaker 2: a lot about the gun. At first, it looks like
- 27:30Speaker 2: it's been manipulated with a homemade silencer on it. We
- 27:35Speaker 2: are now understanding that is not a homemade silencer.
- 27:40Speaker 1: That this is a weapon that is often used by.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Veterinarians to put down that's a nice word for it, animals.
- 27:48Speaker 1: The magazine is in the grip.
- 27:51Speaker 2: And when many people thought that it was jamming and
- 27:55Speaker 2: he was clearing it after each shot, which I thought
- 27:58Speaker 2: he did really calmly and methodically, we now know it
- 28:01Speaker 2: may be a bolt action that has to be manually
- 28:04Speaker 2: cycled after each shot.
- 28:06Speaker 1: That changes things.
- 28:07Speaker 9: Tom Smith, Yes, it does, because now he knows he's
- 28:10Speaker 9: proficient in that weapon, knowing every time he fires it
- 28:13Speaker 9: he's going to have to chamber around. And if I
- 28:16Speaker 9: could show you real quick, this is a glock, not
- 28:18Speaker 9: the same weapon that was used, but similar functioning. Every
- 28:22Speaker 9: time he fires that weapon, he'd have to click it
- 28:26Speaker 9: like this in order to chamber around to fire the
- 28:28Speaker 9: next round. And the thing about him is he knows
- 28:31Speaker 9: the weapon because he knows that's coming. It's not a
- 28:34Speaker 9: surprise to him. So he fires around, has to clear it,
- 28:37Speaker 9: fire another round, clear it to chamber around each time,
- 28:41Speaker 9: and he knows the weapon, and he knows that he
- 28:44Speaker 9: is coming and has to do that, and that's why
- 28:46Speaker 9: he stays kind of calm. Any other criminal I've ever
- 28:50Speaker 9: dealt with in New York City, what's a weapons jams,
- 28:53Speaker 9: they throw it away, they run. He knows exactly how
- 28:56Speaker 9: this weapon is being used.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Okay, for once, the movie's got it right, Tom Smith,
- 29:01Speaker 2: because in the movies you always see the person jam
- 29:03Speaker 2: the weapon and they just throw it or they throw
- 29:05Speaker 2: it at the person they're shooting at. Here when you
- 29:10Speaker 2: look at the video, he's walking toward the victim. I
- 29:15Speaker 2: guarantee you, Tom Smith, this guy practiced probably at a
- 29:20Speaker 2: gun range.
- 29:21Speaker 9: Oh yeah, and you probably have practiced with that weapon,
- 29:24Speaker 9: because like I said, there's a big difference when you're
- 29:27Speaker 9: viewing this, whether someone's panicking or anticipating the movement he's doing.
- 29:31Speaker 9: He knows what he has to do to fire that weapon.
- 29:34Speaker 2: You know, I want you to explain one more time
- 29:37Speaker 2: for novices out there about the bolt action. We now
- 29:41Speaker 2: don't believe the gun was jamming everybody. We believe it
- 29:44Speaker 2: was a bolt action that has to be manually recycled
- 29:49Speaker 2: after every shot. Could you explain that and demonstrate one
- 29:52Speaker 2: more time, please, Tom.
- 29:53Speaker 9: Yeah, this is a nine millimeter weapon and the magazine
- 29:58Speaker 9: port is in here just like you mentioned, it's at
- 30:00Speaker 9: the bottom of the handle. So once a round is fired,
- 30:03Speaker 9: he has to manually clear that round to chamber another
- 30:07Speaker 9: round in order to fire it. He'll fire it again
- 30:09Speaker 9: and do the same thing over and over again. So,
- 30:12Speaker 9: like I said, he's very aware of how that gun
- 30:15Speaker 9: he's used and what he used to do to fire.
- 30:18Speaker 2: You know another issue, Tom Smith, And I'm going to
- 30:20Speaker 2: bring everybody back in in just a second, but Tom,
- 30:24Speaker 2: another feature of this particular gun that is traditionally used
- 30:28Speaker 2: by veterinarians to put down animals is it has.
- 30:34Speaker 1: A very quiet shot, very quiet shot.
- 30:39Speaker 2: And the gun we're talking about has a long as
- 30:43Speaker 2: we saw. Could you hold yours up again as a
- 30:48Speaker 2: very long barrel like that? This one even seemed a
- 30:52Speaker 2: little bit longer than yours. And that can be confused
- 30:56Speaker 2: because it looks like a silencer, but it's not.
- 31:00Speaker 9: It's a long weapon and easier to aim because you
- 31:04Speaker 9: have more of an angle of your target in front
- 31:07Speaker 9: of you. So, like I said, he is very aware
- 31:10Speaker 9: of how this weapon is used. And what it needs
- 31:12Speaker 9: to do to fight is.
- 31:15Speaker 1: This gun is a specialized gun.
- 31:17Speaker 2: This guy practiced and practiced, and he had everything planned out.
- 31:21Speaker 2: You know, he practiced with the murder weapon. He didn't
- 31:25Speaker 2: just trot over to Connecticut and buy a gun and
- 31:27Speaker 2: then use it the next day. That did not happen.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Think of the mindset here.
- 31:32Speaker 1: This is a gun. He brought with him on a bus.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Didn't get on a plane because he couldn't get through
- 31:36Speaker 2: Tsa with a gun, for Pete's sake. And the airlines
- 31:42Speaker 2: know who you are, they have your picture, they have
- 31:44Speaker 2: you every three feet in the airport.
- 31:47Speaker 1: He didn't want that. He wanted to travel with his gun.
- 31:50Speaker 2: What criminal that's practiced and practiced and planned and plan
- 31:54Speaker 2: was to use an aligen gun.
- 31:56Speaker 9: Well, it's hard to trace. That's why if you're using
- 31:59Speaker 9: a normal weapon with a serial number and so forth,
- 32:02Speaker 9: it's easily traced, whether you find it in a month
- 32:05Speaker 9: or a year. This we have no idea whether there's
- 32:08Speaker 9: any serial numbers on it, whether there's any distinguishing markings
- 32:12Speaker 9: on it. So it could be very benign in identifying it.
- 32:17Speaker 9: And that's why he paid.
- 32:18Speaker 2: What I'm saying, Doctor Bethany Marshall is that this guy
- 32:21Speaker 2: did not just go into a gun shop and buy
- 32:24Speaker 2: the gun just before the murder. If he planned this
- 32:28Speaker 2: methodically to get to Manhattan and to carry out this crime,
- 32:31Speaker 2: staking out the scene the moment he got there November
- 32:34Speaker 2: twenty four to ten pm, he didn't go to bed.
- 32:37Speaker 2: He went to this location where the forum was going
- 32:41Speaker 2: to be held. He didn't buy a new gun.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I don't think.
- 32:47Speaker 2: I think he brought his preferred weapon with him after
- 32:51Speaker 2: practicing for hours on end.
- 32:52Speaker 1: This guy is upper middle class.
- 32:54Speaker 7: This guy has money, He has disposable money, and he
- 32:58Speaker 7: had access to a weapon in a professional environment. This
- 33:01Speaker 7: is not somebody who goes to a gun shop with
- 33:03Speaker 7: a fake ID and tries to skip the background check
- 33:06Speaker 7: and gets a gun. This is a man who knows
- 33:11Speaker 7: this weapon. This is also a man who has researched
- 33:15Speaker 7: where this CEO is going to be.
- 33:17Speaker 14: Early reports on the shooting of Brian Thompson pointed to
- 33:20Speaker 14: a silencer being used or a modern version of a
- 33:23Speaker 14: rare World War two gun. The investigators found themselves looking
- 33:27Speaker 14: into a Connecticut gun store they believe may have sold
- 33:30Speaker 14: the weapon. That lead did not pan out, but now
- 33:33Speaker 14: Chief Detective Joseph Kenny says they are looking into the
- 33:36Speaker 14: use of a veterinary gun being used as the murder weapon.
- 33:40Speaker 14: Kenny says the weapon is normally used on farms and
- 33:42Speaker 14: ranches when an animal needs to be put down. The
- 33:45Speaker 14: animal can be shot with this type of weapon that
- 33:48Speaker 14: doesn't cause a large noise.
- 33:50Speaker 2: The twenty six year old taking into custody on gun
- 33:54Speaker 2: charges apparently had a gust gun, a silencer, multiple fake IDs,
- 34:00Speaker 2: and a hand written manifesto attacking the healthcare industry.
- 34:06Speaker 1: It's not just this moment.
- 34:08Speaker 2: This moment is the culmination of thousands of law enforcement
- 34:13Speaker 2: man hours like this.
- 34:15Speaker 16: Amid speculation that the shooter traveled to New York on
- 34:18Speaker 16: a bus that left from Atlanta, NYPD officers have traveled
- 34:21Speaker 16: south for part of their investigation. APD confirmed through a
- 34:25Speaker 16: statement that its officers are assisting the NYPD investigators, whom
- 34:29Speaker 16: arrived in Atlanta on Saturday. Sources say they are searching
- 34:33Speaker 16: through video from the bus station in town and the
- 34:36Speaker 16: others along the route to New York City. Officers are
- 34:39Speaker 16: working to find a name from tickets purchased for a
- 34:42Speaker 16: November twenty fourth Greyhound trip.
- 34:45Speaker 1: You notice the investigative reporter said, looking for a name,
- 34:49Speaker 1: I guarantee you it's not going to be his name.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Let me just say that.
- 34:53Speaker 2: The security and verification procedures at the bus station a
- 34:57Speaker 2: lot less stringent than it is at the airport. He
- 35:01Speaker 2: could have gone in with any fake ID and gotten
- 35:03Speaker 2: a bus ticket under a fake name, just like he
- 35:06Speaker 2: had a fake ID that he got out of Jersey,
- 35:09Speaker 2: just like he used a fake ID when he checked
- 35:11Speaker 2: into that youth hostel. And speaking of the youth hostel,
- 35:14Speaker 2: Lauren Colin joining the investigative reporter and star a primetime
- 35:18Speaker 2: crime on YouTube, Lauren, much was made of him flirting
- 35:24Speaker 2: with the receptionist.
- 35:25Speaker 1: That's not what happened.
- 35:27Speaker 2: We now know that to check into that hostile and
- 35:30Speaker 2: it's not just at a hostel. That's where they're doing it.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Fancy hotels too. When they say, you know, we need
- 35:35Speaker 2: some ID, look at them. The next time they ask
- 35:38Speaker 2: you that, they look back up at your face, right, So, yeah,
- 35:43Speaker 2: there was a little flirtation.
- 35:44Speaker 1: You can see him smiling right there.
- 35:46Speaker 2: That's about ten thousand dollars worth of orthodontia on that
- 35:49Speaker 2: mouth right there.
- 35:50Speaker 1: But that's another can of worms.
- 35:52Speaker 2: Lauren, So I don't know that the clerk was flirting
- 35:56Speaker 2: with him. She very well may have said, pulled down
- 35:59Speaker 2: your mask. I got to make an I mean, this
- 36:01Speaker 2: is not the rints okay, right.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Right, And you're correct, Nancy.
- 36:06Speaker 10: I did visit the hostel, and everybody working there was friendly,
- 36:11Speaker 10: not overly friendly. Something I noticed was that there were
- 36:16Speaker 10: multiple cameras throughout the lobby of the hostele. There were
- 36:19Speaker 10: cameras outside of the hostel as well, So.
- 36:22Speaker 17: My understanding is they most likely have multiple angles of
- 36:27Speaker 17: this guy, of this shooter. I also visited the businesses
- 36:31Speaker 17: surrounding the hostel. I went inside to a local bodega.
- 36:34Speaker 17: I went inside to a dunkin Donuts and they informed
- 36:37Speaker 17: me that they not do any sort of talking about
- 36:40Speaker 17: what they know to anyone but the NYPD, but also
- 36:44Speaker 17: that they turned over footage as well. So I believe
- 36:47Speaker 17: that NYPD is.
- 36:49Speaker 10: Going through all of the footage they have right now,
- 36:52Speaker 10: which look, it's gonna take some time. This is not
- 36:54Speaker 10: going to happen overnight, but I think there's going to
- 36:57Speaker 10: be a lot more and stills being released of this
- 37:00Speaker 10: guy and what he did during his time in New
- 37:03Speaker 10: York before the shooting.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Straight out to you, Cheryl, McCollum, Let's look at this guy.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Who is he? Based on everything we know right.
- 37:11Speaker 12: Now, Nancy, I think one thing that's imperative that everybody's
- 37:14Speaker 12: not mentioning is when you talk to the clerk at
- 37:17Speaker 12: the hostel. If this were my case, the first thing
- 37:19Speaker 12: I would have asked her is does he have an accent?
- 37:23Speaker 1: And that's why I.
- 37:24Speaker 12: Think again, they are focused on Atlanta. They know where
- 37:27Speaker 12: the bus originated, they know what he sounds like. If
- 37:30Speaker 12: he's from here, they're gonna know it. The other thing
- 37:33Speaker 12: about that weapon, remember we have three words, which means
- 37:38Speaker 12: three possible shellcases, So that gun either jams and we
- 37:43Speaker 12: have an unspent or we have three scent which means
- 37:46Speaker 12: he missed one.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Possibly a ghost gun, a silence, sir, fake IDs, and
- 37:53Speaker 2: a handwritten manifesto attacking the healthcare industry.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Sounds like our guy. But what else led to this
- 38:03Speaker 1: detainment in Pennsylvania?
- 38:06Speaker 2: To doctor Bethany Marshall joining us renow it, psycho analyst
- 38:09Speaker 2: Way and doctor Bethany, what's your take on it?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Who is he? Nancy?
- 38:13Speaker 7: This guy is upper middle class, he's educated.
- 38:16Speaker 1: He knew to do this hit.
- 38:19Speaker 7: At the healthcare conference because he's sending a message. If
- 38:22Speaker 7: he did it at a traffic stop or at the
- 38:24Speaker 7: victim's home, it would not send the message. The scribbling
- 38:28Speaker 7: on the ammunition he caught that from researching internal documents
- 38:35Speaker 7: at insurance companies and citing words that employees or claims
- 38:41Speaker 7: processors use to deny claims. I am going to guess
- 38:46Speaker 7: that he had a family member who has denied care,
- 38:49Speaker 7: and because of that denied care, the family member died
- 38:53Speaker 7: and he cannot get over it. So this is although
- 38:56Speaker 7: he looks like a street thug on you know, at
- 38:59Speaker 7: first glance.
- 39:00Speaker 12: He is not.
- 39:01Speaker 2: He's got a square chin, perfect teeth, wax between the eyebrows,
- 39:08Speaker 2: eyes going slightly down at the outer edges. He can
- 39:13Speaker 2: change a lot, but there are some things he can't change,
- 39:17Speaker 2: like his fingerprints and DNA.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Joe Scott, Yep.
- 39:22Speaker 15: You're absolutely right. Those are unique to him, Nancy. And
- 39:25Speaker 15: here's one other thing. I did a little digging one
- 39:28Speaker 15: of this weapon that they keep referring to. That's the
- 39:31Speaker 15: veterinarian euthanasia weapon. They believe might be what's referred to
- 39:35Speaker 15: as a Station six brand weapon. My research revealed that
- 39:40Speaker 15: there are essentially I think either four or five locations
- 39:45Speaker 15: in the metro area of Atlanta where these can be
- 39:48Speaker 15: specifically purchased. And I think that if they believe that
- 39:53Speaker 15: that's what this is and that he transported it, I
- 39:56Speaker 15: think you're on the money here. Relative to getting on
- 39:58Speaker 15: a bus with this thing. He may have picked it
- 40:00Speaker 15: up down there at some point in time, and it's
- 40:04Speaker 15: not a very efficient weapon for doing the task that
- 40:07Speaker 15: he was trying to do, so I don't know, maybe
- 40:09Speaker 15: he was trying to you know, he's not going to
- 40:12Speaker 15: draw attention to himself, like when you buy a suppressor
- 40:16Speaker 15: separately from a weapon, perhaps, and it's not very efficient
- 40:21Speaker 15: because you lose your site picture every time you have
- 40:25Speaker 15: to rotate that bolt on the back of that weapon,
- 40:27Speaker 15: which is what he's doing. He's spending it. I think
- 40:31Speaker 15: that many of the answers that we're looking for are
- 40:34Speaker 15: probably going to rest as well. And this is something
- 40:36Speaker 15: that we will hear a lot about, I believe, with
- 40:39Speaker 15: United Healthcare and their chief security officer, who was actually
- 40:43Speaker 15: hired back in August of twenty twenty three, I want
- 40:46Speaker 15: to know what she knows. I want to know what
- 40:49Speaker 15: her assets know within that business. Are there letters that
- 40:52Speaker 15: have been written, are their lawsuits that have been filed
- 40:57Speaker 15: relative to what doctor Bethany mentioned about healthcare claims that
- 41:02Speaker 15: may have been blown off or maybe they didn't receive
- 41:04Speaker 15: what they wanted, but trust me, the security apparatus within
- 41:08Speaker 15: that company is going to be working on them.
- 41:09Speaker 2: And of course, along with tot Mom Casey Anthony called
- 41:14Speaker 2: Mam Laurie Valo. Now Luigi Mangioni has his own documentary
- 41:21Speaker 2: called Who Is Luigi Mangoni?
- 41:23Speaker 1: Do I care who he is?
- 41:26Speaker 2: What I care about is did he gun down an
- 41:28Speaker 2: unarmed man in broad daylight?
- 41:30Speaker 1: That's what I care about.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Others of Luigimi and Gioni's female fan base were a
- 41:36Speaker 2: dressed in the same green as the Luigi character in
- 41:40Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers. Needs alert. This is not a video game.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Brian Thompson is really dead. He really bled out on
- 41:50Speaker 2: the sidewalk, So you know where you can stick your
- 41:53Speaker 2: Luigi video game. These sad sack love lorn females who
- 41:58Speaker 2: obviously aren't working because they're hanging out outside the courthouse
- 42:01Speaker 2: in the middle of the day. Climb quiet. We're here
- 42:04Speaker 2: because we both support Luigi for what he did. Taking
- 42:08Speaker 2: a bite out of corruption of the healthcare industry. Luigi
- 42:12Speaker 2: Mangioni comes from a multi millionaire family. He was born
- 42:17Speaker 2: with not one, but two silver spoons in his mouth.
- 42:20Speaker 2: He went to Ivy League schools, prep high schools. He
- 42:24Speaker 2: had every advantage you can imagine, and was vacationing in
- 42:29Speaker 2: a high rise in Hawaii for months on end before
- 42:34Speaker 2: he hatched the plan to murder the CEO boss. Here's
- 42:38Speaker 2: one woman wearing a free Luigi T shirt. You know
- 42:41Speaker 2: she needs to go get a job and get out
- 42:43Speaker 2: from in front of the courthouse that said, these are
- 42:47Speaker 2: the facts surrounding Brian Thompson's cold blood and murder.
- 42:52Speaker 1: We wait as justice unfalse.
- 42:55Speaker 5: Good night for him.
