What happened with Luigi Mangione?
According to court records, the suspected killer had 3D printed ghost gun on him, several fake IDs, $8,000 in cash and a three page handwritten manifesto.
OK, OK, that's a lot of evidence. That's a lot of evidence. What else did they find on him? Was he wearing a T-shirt that said, I shot a CEO and all I got is this lousy T-shirt? Also, are they sure that New Jersey ID was fake? I feel like if your name is Luigi Mangione, you're born with a New Jersey ID. It just slides out with you like the placenta, but... But we can't give all the credit to the Altoona police just because they caught him. Because the NYPD, well, they did their part, too. They were scouring the city for days. They were looking in the bushes. They looked on some other bushes. Here they're standing on a rock. Hey, should I look in that bush? Eh, you know, f***, I don't want to do that stuff again. New York's finest.
Don't get me wrong.
What evidence was found against Luigi Mangione?
They didn't spend the whole time barely looking in the bushes. The breakthrough in the case came as police divers continued to search a lake in New York's Central Park for items dumped by the assassin.
Great work. Great work. They're like, hey, you guys looking for the killer? We're going to see if he wished on any lucky pennies down here. Hey, did the killer use a gun? Because we found 5,000 of them down here. So now that we know who the suspect is, it's time for society to indulge in its favorite pastime, obsessing over every detail about this guy's life like he's a K-pop idol.
Mingione comes from a prominent Maryland family, which owns multiple country clubs in the state.
He was valedictorian at his graduation from a $40,000 a year private school with a carnation in his buttonhole.
Thank you. That didn't get the response I anticipated, but that's okay. It's surprising that he comes from such a privileged background. He's not really the kind of guy you'd expect to become a murderer. I mean, I expect him to crash the housing market, but not kill a guy. So we know he was privileged. He was apparently smart. But were there any other clues that something might be going wrong?
He spent time in Hawaii at a co-living space during 2022 and 2023. And two people who knew Mangione during that time say that he was dealing with frequent back pain due to an injury. One added that Mangione started a book club, but several members left due to discomfort over what he chose to read. An online book review from January of this year, apparently written by Mangione, praises some of the writings of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.
