Suspect in healthcare CEO's killing arrested at McDonald's
Mr Mangione appeared later in a Pennsylvania court to be arraigned on five initial counts and was denied bail. A prosecutor said he expected a homicide charge to be filed soon.Mr Mangione was formally charged on Monday evening with forgery, carrying firearms without a licence, tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of crime and providing a false identification to police.
Pete Weeks, a district attorney in Pennsylvania's Blair County, said that homicide charges from New York would be filed "tonight or tomorrow" or in the "near future".
Mr Mangione stopped co-operating after he was detained, officials said.
Handcuffed at the wrists and ankles, he appeared in court on Monday wearing jeans and a dark blue jersey. He appeared calm during the hearing, occasionally looking around at those present, including the media.
A search of his backpack uncovered a 3D-printed pistol, a 3D-printed silencer and a loaded magazine with six rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Prosecutors said he was also carrying a US passport and $10,000 cash, $2,000 of it in foreign currency, though Mr Mangione disputed the amount in court.
Investigators revealed that finding him was a complete surprise, as they did not have his name on a list of suspects before Monday.
Several posts to an account on X, formerly Twitter, that appeared to belong to him suggested that friends had been trying to reach him, with one person posting in October that "nobody has heard from you in months".

Weeks before UnitedHealthcare shooting, suspect reported missing to SFPD
Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old identified as a “strong person of interest” in last week’s slaying of a health insurance executive on the streets of Manhattan, was reported missing to San Francisco police last month, The Standard has learned.Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, made the report to the San Francisco Police Department on Nov. 18, according to a police source with knowledge of the case. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he had been in San Francisco or if she had a reason to believe that he was.
New York police officials described Mangione as born and raised in Maryland, with ties to San Francisco, and said he lived until recently in Honolulu. He is related to Republican Maryland House of Delegate member Nino Mangione and attended Baltimore’s Gilman School, where he was valedictorian of his graduating class in 2016.
Mangione’s connection to San Francisco remains unknown, but public records suggest he may have relatives in the city. The shooter is suspected of wearing a backpack designed in San Francisco.
In a statement posted to Delegate Mangione’s Facebook Monday night, the family said it is “devastated” by the news about Luigi.
“Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione. We only know what we have read in the media,” the statement read. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.”

Reports: Luigi Mangione had been reported missing by family after back surgery
The suspect in the shooting of the United Healthcare CEO had been reported missing by his family after a recent back surgery.Citing “law enforcement sources,” the Post reported that Mr. Mangione’s mother had reported him missing Nov. 18 after his family had lost touch with him for weeks.
Aaron Cranston, a high-school classmate of Mr. Mangione, told the New York Times that Mr. Mangione’s family hadn’t heard from him since his back surgery some months earlier and was trying to contact his peers for help.
The Post wrote that Mr. Mangione, who was arrested Monday in Pennsylvania, “may have held a grudge against the UnitedHealthcare executive because of his interactions with the medical industry.”
The Post’s sources cited an X-ray photo on his X account showing four pins in a spine.
His GoodReads account also had “five books involving chronic back pain on his reading list,” the Post wrote.
The titles included “Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery,” and “Why We Get Sick: The Hidden Epidemic at the Root of Most Chronic Disease ― and How to Fight It.”

Yeah i noticed the Ca, Ny and Ha similarities. At one point it made me even wonder if he was the ex, but the ex flew to NY, whereas the shooter took a Greyhound.
I checked the U of PA on wiki and it is one of 8 Ivy League unis.

For some reason, this guy reminds me of Brian Kohberger. I guess it’s because of the level of education he’s achieved.
It doesn’t make sense that this kind of a person would be like a hitman.

Apparently he wasn't acting suspicious but just eating his meal when the McD employee recognised him.
From the article in my post #63 -
"The break in the case came from a Pennsylvania McDonald’s employee, who noticed as Magione was “sitting there eating” that he resembled the suspect seen on the New York Police Department’s wanted posters, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said."

I see more of them being worn in Oregon during the winter months when the flu is going around. Lately, there's been an issue with a stomach flu around my parts.
This is allegedly the "manifesto", or part of it.

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

"The problem is more complex" yet his solution is to assassinate the CEO?
How will that solve the problem?
And yes life expectancy has increased over the years. However he is saying US is 42nd in the world in life expectancy but has the 1st most expensive healthcare system. Even if true- how does murdering the CEO help?

Well, it very well might have been part of bcbs reversing their decision to not pay for anesthesia during surgery that might take longer that could easily have cost many tens of thousands.

Murdering the CEO wont change that policy decision. They will just appoint another CEO.
Also, life expectancy is increasing though pretty much at the same rate so the data doesn't reflect that.
