Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?
Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
Guys planning a quick and carefully planned get away, so most likely traveling light with only what he needs. But yeah, of course he'll bring two bags.
He's shown a high degree of planning so far. Bringing a decoy bag and being casual in front of CCTV in not-his-clothes seems on the money at the moment. As soon as I heard he made a beeline for central park I bet he has a change of outfit and strolled out looking totally different. Sure enough they've found a bag in the park they think was his. He's 2 to 3 steps ahead of them..
It's cold, need something. "No jacket" would call attention. Gotta both be pretty nondescript not to call attention too, no hot pink or sports teams (maybe yankees in the city, but if he leaves NYC nondescript is better.)
We should know within a day because if flirty Starbucks guy isn't him then that person will almost certainly come forward to get removed from investigation.
A bunch of comments on here and Reddit about how police will do everything they can to make sure he's seen as a threat during arrest and kill him? I don't think that's the case, but if this guy has nothing to do with it and felt the same it would be much safer to just walk into a police station and get ruled out of the investigation. Better that than risk a cop spotting him one day and thinking himself a hero.
If happy dude isn't the CEO clean up guy, walking into a police station would be the best to way to ensure he gets the CEOs death pinned on him or worse. Happy dude would be best hiring a lawyer and following their advice.
Something I've learned in life is that should be and is are not the same thing. You're right, that he should be okay, but the cops are going to want to stick this to someone. It's way too high profile for them to let it go. If happy dude isn't their guy and walks in the front door, the cops would make him their guy.
Happens more than we'd like to believe. The mans dad wasn't actually even dead in the case linked below. The policy will continue to make these mistakes until the consequences of their failures comes directly out of their pay.
I really don't know this guy has a long term plan. If I were to bed, his wife died after denied insurance. Or possibly a close family member or friend. The fact that he could afford health insurance or had it through an employer implies he probably had a decent job. So a person he was planning to grow old with is now dead, his plans for the future are ruined, probably doesn't care about an item that costs a few hundred dollars. Maybe he wants to see how long he can evade the cops, but something tells me if they ever do catch the actual murderer, he's not going to care much as in his eyes he lost his future when the person he cared about died.
Can't say personally seen any of the security footage but from the sounds of it this guy was mingling with the crowd and not drawing attention to himself as well as able to book it down the alleyway. It's not improbable that he's terminally ill himself, but it's hard for me to believe he'd be at a stage the doctor(s) said he was incurable/insurance denied him but still not far enough along it's not affecting him in anyway noticeable way.
