Cops Reveal New CEO Killer Clues — Including New Pics And Shocking Contents Of Backpack
Authorities have just released new photos plus revealed they found Monopoly money inside the ditched backpack of the man responsible for assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Wednesday.
The unidentified man has been on the loose for four days as police continue to release photos and other evidence in hopes that someone will recognize him.
“These new images could be huge,” said MSNBC’s Priscilla Thompson.
“You see this person of interest in the back seat of what appears to be a taxi cab, and you have perhaps the clearest picture yet of their eyes. And then there’s that second image, which appears to have captured this person walking down the sidewalk. And, so you couple those images with what is already out there from the hostel, when law enforcement says he flashed a smile at that woman that he was flirting with, and you have a really clear picture of this person. Again, authorities are asking the public, if you see this person, if you know this person, to please reach out to them,” Thompson said.
“We also heard from mayor Eric Adams yesterday, again, no identification made publicly. But him appearing to suggest that details like that may be being held close right now, but that authorities are getting closer here.”
“The manner in which they were able to follow his footsteps to recover evidence, some of it is known, some of it is unknown, but the net is tightening. We’re going to bring this person to justice,” Adams said.
Thompson continued:
They also found that monopoly money. So we know they have taken that to a lab. It has been scrubbed for DNA evidence, for fingerprints, and police did say that at some point they were able to pick up some kind of DNA. That is still being processed. Of course, we know the NYPD is in Atlanta scrubbing through videos from the bus station there where the bus into new York City originated from.
