The manhunt for the suspect who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has now entered its fourth day as authorities learn more about his movements before the attack.
Leave the NYPD alone, do you know how hard it is to murder minorities over fare skipping? And now you expect them to do actual detective work? They don't even get to use all that fancy military equipment!
Pretty sure the 48 hours was about missing people. Generally because it's hard to keep a person restrained and alive for an extended period, it's easier to just dispose of them and try to take any ransom demanded anyway.
First 48 is also a show about murder detectives working a case within the first 2 days after the murder. The likelihood of the case going cold after the first 48 hours goes up exponentially the longer the file stays open.
But it's the same as if your wallet stays lost for 48 hours. It's not because you didn't look hard enough, it's because it's lost enough that you weren't able to find it yet, and odds are you aren't going to.
This goes up further, I assume, if it's likely the killer has fled across state and potentially national borders. It's been 72 hours - given that sort of headstart, a fake ID or two, and a willingness to burn cash on travel, I could be anywhere I damn well pleased.
Considering the history of alphabet orgs performing operations for the benefit of the wealthy few and corporations, I'd imagine they care quite a bit about this, especially considering how many slightly left leaning democracies in South and Central America were toppled by the CIA.
Mostly the amount of floundering NYPD's doing. I don't know if they're just kicking back letting them squirm because they're pissed at NYPD or if it's because of it being just a guy shooting a guy in New York, but if they were engaged I would have expected the white house to be talking about it.
Also, since it may not have been clear, I'm counting the FBI as cops in this, not as alphabet boys a.k.a. the US Intelligence apparatus.
