A Retired NYPD commander details what investigators are doing to find UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer.
A retired New York City Police Department (NYPD) Lieutenant and former NYPD commander is shedding light on the manhunt for the suspect who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and what investigators are doing to track him down.
« He’s not a professional, but he is calculated. He obviously planned this out to a very good degree as well. He planned his escape route, he planned everything prior to it », Joe Cardinale told Fox News Digital.
Cardinale added the fact the killer left behind the bullets and left messages on them, like « depose », makes him think it could be someone involved in a civil suit with UnitedHealthcare or at least connected, making this not a coincidence or « wrong place, wrong time » situation.
The words « deny », « depose » and « defend » were written on the live rounds and casings left behind by the assassin after the shooting.
The words could be derived from « Delay. Deny. Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It », a book published by Jay Feinman in 2010. Fox News Digital could not reach Feinman or the book’s publisher, Delden Press, for comment.
« I’m still not convinced that this is somebody who just happened to be, you know, upon him on that morning. I think he had intimate knowledge of where Mr. Thompson would be at that hour. Now, how did he get that knowledge? That is the big million-dollar question right now », Cardinale said.
