The evidence against Luigi Mangione revealed as his notebook writings and manifesto emerge: live updates

‘It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents,’ Luigi Mangione allegedly wrote in a notebook found on him that outlined his plans for the killing of Brian Thompson, as reported by The New York Times.

The writings described going to a ‘bean-counter’ conference – an investor’s meeting – to kill a health care executive.

Another passage read: ‘What do you do? You wack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents.’

In his three-page manifesto, the suspect said the ‘parasites’ in the health care industry ‘had it coming.’

The man suspected of killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shared a series of quotes from the ‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczynski online among other excerpts referencing health and sickness.

Mangione suffered a back injury so severe he was unable to have sex, a former roommate said.

RJ Martin lived with the murder defendant for six months at a Hawaii co-living space and told The New York Times about 26-year-old Mangione’s secret agony.

‘He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn’t possible,’ Martin told The Times.

Luigi Mangione’s X account is back up after it was briefly deleted as YouTube removed channels belonging to the suspected killer.

Elon Musk addressed the removal of Mangione’s X account stating, ‘his happened without my knowledge. Looking into it.’

YouTube removed three channels belonging to Mangione, as well as a channel that was altered Monday to look as if it belonged to him, Jack Malon, Google policy communications manager, confirmed to CNN.

Suspected assassin Luigi Mangione was apparently left startled after McDonald’s employees recognized him after five days on the run.

Mangione, 26, was taken into custody on firearm charges Monday afternoon at the fast food joint in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after he allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, outside of a Manhattan hotel.

Sources told DailyMail.com that several staff members noticed the masked man, who sat quietly reading after ordering a drink from the fast food establishment.

The suspected killer is being held at the State Correctional Institution Huntingdon in central Pennsylvania.

Officials from the prison told the Daily Beast he is being ‘single-celled’ and ‘under maximum security.’

It’s not clear if Mangione has been placed on suicide watch.

The Pennsylvania McDonald’s where Luigi Mangione was arrested on Monday was ‘review bombed’ by trolls after staff blew his cover and summoned the police.

The fast food joint in Altoona was hit by a wave of online backlash after an employee notified authorities about Mangione, leading to his arrest for killing UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson.

The negative comments aimed at McDonald’s were the latest in ‘review bombing,’ where an establishment is hit with a litany of bad reviews based on a political view or an occurrence unrelated to its actual business.

About 100 negative and one-star reviews showed up after Mangione, 26, was captured at the restaurant with most criticizing the restaurant and its staff.

Luigi Mangione’s mother Kathleen Mangione reported him missing to San Francisco police on November 18, just over two weeks before Brian Thompson’s murder.

A police source revealed the report to the San Francisco Standard, although it is unclear why Kathleen contacted cops in the City by the Bay.

Mangione grew up in Baltimore, where his parents continue to live, although public records show he has multiple relatives in San Francisco.

Mangione’s family released a statement in the wake of his arrest saying they are ‘devastated’ by their son’s alleged behavior and sending their condolences to Brian Thompson’s family.

The tipster who alerted law enforcement to suspected assassin Luigi Mangione‘s whereabouts could have an uphill battle to claim their $60,000 reward.

A $10,000 reward was being offered by the NYPD as well as $50,000 by the FBI for information which could help lead them to Mangione.

However, fine print on the FBI’s website states that the money will only be offered up if the intel leads to arrest and conviction.

Mangione claimed in his LinkedIn that he was employed as a software engineer at TrueCar, an online marketplace based in Santa Monica, California.

However the company has since said Mangione has not worked there since 2023.

Many have drawn comparisons between the alleged murderer and Kaczynski – saying that Mangione may have been influenced by him based on his social media habits.

The Honolulu court documents show Mangione was hiking at the Nuuanu Pali Lookout around 7.25am on November 12 when he deliberately strayed off the public path – but was caught by rangers, reports Josh Bowell.

A criminal complaint filed December 5 last year said he ‘knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly, fail[ed] to observe and abide by an officially posted sign authorized by the board or its authorized representative designating a closed area, to wit, a State Parks sign located at the Nuuanu Pali Lookout.’

An Officer Pham issued a citation, listing Mangione’s family home address in Towson, Maryland based on his government ID.

However, friends on the island say he was living in a co-housing space called Surfbreak at the time.

The citation lists a Maryland driver’s license with an expiry in May 2026, a birth date of May 6, 1998, and a height of 5’10”, weight 135 lbs.

Gurwinder Bhogal, a UK-based writer, told DailyMail.com Mangione was ‘anti-woke’, and that he expressed a deep envy for the UK’s nationalized health system.

Bhogal, who lives in Birmingham, England, suggested Mangione, who has been charged over the fatal shooting of health insurance CEO Brian Thompson, may have become radicalized by what he read on social media.

The conservative commentator pulled out a simple two column chart to remind liberals fawning over Mangione who the ‘bad guy’ is.

Nicholas Mangione Sr lived the rags to riches tale after he and his brother were forced to become breadwinners for their immigrant family at the age of 11.

Years later, he had solidified himself as being a formidable businessman with a Baltimore Sun article referring to him as ‘the embodiment of anger’.

The reason Mangione’s murder charge is second-degree is down to specific legislation in New York, which stipulates that certain factors must be met for a charge to be raised to first-degree murder.

These include that the victim must have been an on-duty police officer or peace officer, a judge, a witness to a crime, about to testify in court, or the murder must have been a contract killing.

Other factors include if the defendant was convicted of a previous murder, if they killed more than one person, if the victim was tortured, or if the crime was part of an act of terrorism.

Luigi Mangione once claimed his mother made him eat steak with his right hand, even though he was left-handed, to ‘adhere to social norms.’

Mangione claimed in court on Monday night that he does not know where the 10,000 cash in US and foreign money found on him by police came from, as reported by CNN.

The suspected killer also said he didn’t know ‘about criminal sophistication’ after police said he was carrying a faraday bag, which is meant to conceal wireless transmissions.

Prosecutors said the bag proved Mangione’s alleged criminal knowledge.

‘First, I don’t know where any of that money came from,’ the sjuspect said.

‘I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof. So I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’

The suspect in Brian Thompson’s killing started yelling at the cameras as he entered a court hearing in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.

He appeared to slam officials as being ‘completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!’

The exchange happened after someone asked Mangione if he ‘did it,’ referencing Brian Thompson’s murder, per the Wall Street Journal.

Mangione, 26, was sporting an orange prison suit and shackled at his waist as he was moved by several sheriff’s officers.

Judge David Consiglione denied Mangione bail on Tuesday, and ordered him to remain in custody at a federal facility SCI in Huntingdon.

He will next appear in court next for an extradition hearing on Monday, December 16, as reported by The Daily Beast.

United Health Group has seen its share price crater after the assassination of its well-regarded CEO and subsequent fury over the healthcare giant’s greed.

The company’s share price has plummeted by approximately $45 billion since the December 4 shooting of CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione, 26.

Since December 3, the last day of trading prior to Thompson’s death, the share price dropped by 10 percent, its steepest weekly drop since March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic erupted, reports CNN.

Defense attorney Thomas Dickey told CNN he has received offers from people who want to help cover the costs of the suspected killer’s legal bills.

Assistant Professor of English and Cinema & Media Studies Julia Alekseyeva, who described herself as a ‘socialist and ardent antifascist’ on her website, made several posts embracing Mangione.

Jimmy Kimmel addressed the public’s focus on alleged killer Luigi Mangione’s looks on Tuesday, saying the obsession with the 26-year-old has distracted the country from the presidential electiona and Donald Trump’s win.

Kimmel called the suspect ‘Time’s sexiest alleged murderer of the year’ and ‘the hottest coldblooded killer in America.’

‘I’m not sure what this says about us, but ever since these photos of him came out from his holding cell, from his mug shot — someone found his abs somewhere online,’ Kimmel added.

‘So many women and so many men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is. And there’s a huge wave of horny washing over us right now…

‘…I have to say, it does feel kind of good — we’re moving away from nonstop election coverage and back to drooling over a coldblooded murderer’s eyebrows and abs. I think that might be progress. Maybe not, I don’t know.’

Police described alleged killer Luigi Mangione in an internal report seen by The New York Times.

Officials wrote that Mangione ‘likely views himself as a hero of sorts who has finally decided to act upon such injustices.’

Mangione ‘appeared to view the targeted killing of the company’s highest-ranking representative as a symbolic takedown and a direct challenge to its alleged corruption and ‘power games.’

Mangione ‘views himself as a hero of sorts who has finally decided to act upon such injustices,’ per officials.

The suspect is charged with second-degree murder, forgery and criminal posession of a firearm in New York City.

In Pennsylvania, he is charged with forgery, carrying a gun without a license, falsely identifying himself to authorities and posessiong intruments of a crime.

Fingerprints collected at the scene of Brian Thomson’s murder reportedly match those of Luigi Mangione, CNN reported on Wednesday.

This would be the first scientific, forensic match tying Mangione to the scene.

It comes after Mangione’s lawyer said he has seen no evidence that his client is Thompson’s killer.

‘It’s a shock for all of us,’ Mangione’s uncle, Jerry O’Keefe, told the New York Post.

‘I can’t say anymore. The statement summed it up for all of us. We don’t know anything more than what’s been reported in the media.’

The Mangione family released a statement on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione.

‘Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.’

The signs featured pictures of Thompson, OptumHealth CEO Heather Cianfrocco and UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty. It is unclear who put the posters up.

Alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione appeared to be looking for a familiar face during his court arraignment, but he found none.

The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate repeatedly turned around during his court appearance on Monday in Pennsylvania, to look into the public gallery, but none of his relatives had shown up.

Mangione also had no one in court to support him in his second court appearance on Tuesday.

Police said Mangione had tried to check into the Horseshoe Curve Lodge in Altoona but there were no rooms available.

The desk clerk at the motel told ABC News police showed up and reviewed the cameras before determining it was the suspect who had tried to check in.

‘He basically just walked in kind of cagey, just looking around, making sure he wasn’t being watched, asked if he could get a room here,’ said John Kuklis.

‘I told him that he wouldn’t be able to get one right now, that our housekeeper hadn’t cleaned the rooms yet, that he had to come back at one o’clock.’

Attorney Thomas Dickey confirmed that he was hired privately rather than employed by the state to represent accused UnitedHealthCare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione.

Dickey runs his own law firm and is a lifetime resident of Blair County, Pennsylvania, accordin got his work biography.

After receiving his law degree from Ohio Northern University, Dickey joined the Blair County Public Defenders Office, then started his private practive in 1984.

He has successful legal defense career with acquittals in cases ranging from DUI’s to first degree murder and winning appeals from the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Dickey is one of few death-penalty qualified attorneys in the area, and is described as being known around the state for his strong representation in the courtroom, providing vigorous defense against all levels of criminal charges and active representation in civil litigation.

Mangione also had a spiral notebook in which he wrote a ‘to-do list,’ ahead of the grizzly shooting, CNN reported.
