Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering the CEO, is said to have written down his murder plan in a handwritten notebook, containing a complete “to-do list” of the tasks needed to carry out the murder. a police source told the Post.
Investigators are now examining pages of notes the 26-year-old allegedly scrawled in a spiral notebook before fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week, officials said.
In one of the memos, first reported by CNN, Mangione allegedly considered what would be better than “murdering a CEO in his own bean-counting meeting.”
He also noted that bombs “could kill innocent people” and allegedly acknowledged that shootings would become more targeted.
Mangione is accused of fatally shooting 50-year-old CEO Thompson as the latter was heading to a Manhattan hotel where UnitedHealthcare's parent company, UnitedHealth Group, was holding its annual investor meeting. has been done.
In addition to the note, police are also searching for a three-page manifesto-type document that Mangione had with him when he was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday after a five-day manhunt.
Law enforcement officials said the alleged manifesto included harsh statements against “parasitic” health insurance companies and expressions of disdain for corporate greed and power.
He also reportedly wrote that the United States has the most expensive health care system in the world and that “our average life expectancy” is not increasing while profits for big corporations continue to increase.
A handwritten document allegedly found with Mangione included a line claiming Mangione acted alone.
“Dear Fed, I will keep this brief because I respect the work the Fed does for our country.To save you a lengthy investigation, I am not cooperating with anyone. We state this clearly,” the document says, sources said.
Details emerged as police continued to investigate the motive for the cold-blooded killing, including whether Mangione was motivated by a desire for revenge against the medical industry after suffering from chronic back pain.
Mr. Mangione is being held in a Pennsylvania jail while he fights extradition to New York, where he faces murder charges in Manhattan for Mr. Thompson's killing.
