Yet again suspicious identification confusion around New York health boss killing!
High profile killings in America and elsewhere, always arouse my interest (and suspicions!) especially if they contain familiar elements relating to dates, timing, names, places and other strange or anomalous features.
The arrested suspect Luigi Mangione, is referred to by the Mail as the 'Hot Assassin' over a handsome, smiling bare-chested photograph. This is in sharp contrast to the police photograph circulated below.
He was located relatively quickly in only four days (6th to 10th December) over 300 miles away from Manhattan, where the shooting took place, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, interestingly in a McDonalds. I have previously drawn attention to how often that brand is linked to high profile tragic events.
It is said he "was acting suspiciously" but there is scant information on how he got there from New York, why that location was chosen, or what actually led to his identification and arrest.
The 'before and after' photographs appear to show the same person but a very different demeanour. Compare and contrast the following two images that contain similar stylistic elements. Was this intentional for artistic effect?

Luigi Mangione has been arrested in New York
Police in New York have charged a man with murder after the assassination of healthcare chief executive Brian Thompson.
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested in a branch of McDonald’s on Monday following a five-day manhunt.
Wearing a dark sweatshirt and flanked by local police and NYPD detectives, Mr Mangione arrived at a Pennsylvania court where he was arraigned on a string of gun offences. Manhattan officials later filed charges including an official allegation of murder.
Police said Mr Mangione had been carrying a 3D-printed, homemade “ghost” pistol and silencer that matched images of the weapon used to shoot Mr Thompson, a handwritten manifesto filled with grievances against “corporate America”, and multiple fake ID cards.
The three-page letter found in Mr Mangione’s bag reportedly contained the words: “These parasites had it coming…I do apologise for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.”
Mr Mangione’s cover photograph on his X page, formerly Twitter, appears to show an X-ray of a posterior spinal fusion in the lower lumbar region.

The alleged killer is referred to by the Mail as
Another 'Martin'.
From: https://www.aol.co.uk/news/luigi-mangione-notebook-reveals-chilling-094508952.html
Luigi Mangione allegedly laid out his plot to kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a spiral notebook, including a chilling “to-do list” and plans considering using a bomb in the Manhattan attack.
The notebook was found alongside a 262-page manifesto, a ghost gun, silencer and false ID cards in the shooting suspect’s possession at the time of his arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Monday, according to CNN.
Inside the notebook was a to-do list outlining tasks to be completed to carry out the killing, as well as notes that justified those plans, a source told the network.
In one of the notes, Mangione allegedly mused about different methods of murder, including the possibility of bombing Manhattan.
But, the note shows the 26-year-old suspect decided against using explosives over concerns this “could kill innocents”, the source said.
(Ed. This sounds a trifle contrived and far-fetched. Is there any indication Mangione had the wherewithal/expertise to manufacture or handle explosives?)
The source added that the notebook shows the suspect decided to carry out a more targeted attack, musing what could be better than “to kill the CEO at his own bean-counting conference.”
New York Police Department Chief Detective Joe Kenny said the suspect mentioned going to the conference site in the notebook, CNN reported.
In another passage, Mangione allegedly wrote about Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, the source said.
Prior to the shooting, Mangione had given Kaczynski’s manifesto a positive review on Goodread and urged members at his book club to read his memoir.
Along with the spiral notebook, the three-page, 262-word handwritten manifesto has been described by police as a “claim of responsibility” for the shooting.
Kenny said its content hints at a motive, indicating “ill will towards
Always interesting to see the angle the BBC takes on such events!!!
