So I know that there's a very high threshold of evidence that the DAs need in order to bring charges and the police need in order to request search warrants and things like that. Surveillance video canvassing takes a long time. This person obviously did as well as he could to shield himself, hide his face.

We have that one picture of him smiling in the hostel that really sort of seemed to accelerate the investigation because it was a really good picture of his face. But other than that, police didn't have a ton to go on. Of course, DNA evidence takes a long time. They say he discarded a cup at Starbucks. These things all take time. So it's hard to say.

But of course, given the gravity of this case, it is it does feel surprising that That it took so long to find him and that the NYPD wasn't involved actually in catching him when it came down to it. This was just a bystander, a local person, an employee at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

So apparently he was sitting and eating at this McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania. That's about 230 some odd miles away from New York City. And he was there typing away on a laptop wearing a beanie and a medical mask. And an employee recognized him based on the photos that police had circulated, now photos that seemingly have gone around the country and back again.

And this person called the local authorities who came.

When they asked him about whether he'd been in New York City, he actually went silent and started shaking, according to court documents. And that was pretty significant to them that, you know, he had something to hide. They took him in for questioning. They found a 3D printed ghost gun, which was consistent with the gun that was used to shoot Thompson.

There is a lot to pull from. Obviously, with the amount of attention this case has generated, the social media spheres are just exploding with different kinds of theories. One interesting thing about Mangione is that he did have pretty open and exposed social media accounts. In a lot of the cases where you have somebody who plans to do something like this, they lock down their social media.

They don't want anybody knowing anything about their lives. He almost seems to have been in the opposite mentality. There are photos he posted of an x-ray of what appears to be his own back with some pretty serious-looking pins in it.
