The bus originated in Atlanta and made six or seven stops on the way to New York. Police could not immediately determine where he got on the bus. The man then takes a taxi to the area of the New York Hilton Midtown and is there for about a half hour.
He presents an ID that police believe to be fake. Two roommates in a shared room that had bunkbeds never saw his face, police said, because he kept his mask on.
Police don’t believe he stayed someplace else and checked back into the same hostel the next day.

United Healthcare’s parent company, UnitedHealth Group, is holding its annual investor conference. Police deduce that he rode a bicycle to the Hilton because it took him such a short time to get there. “Could he have stolen the bike? These are things we’re still looking into,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. At some point, he went to a nearby Starbucks and purchased a bottle of water and at least one energy bar before returning to the hotel.
He fires three shots and ignores a bystander. The shooter fled on foot into an alley, where a phone believed to be linked to the suspect was later recovered, police sources said.
It’s in the park and away from security cameras that police believe he discards a gray backpack.
After making his getaway on a bike, the suspect exited Central Park at 77th Street and Central Park West.
At 86th Street and Columbus Avenue, the suspect ditched the bike and took a taxi to the Port Authority bus facility at 178th Street.
He’s near the George Washington Bridge and the bus terminal there. It offers commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston and Washington.
Investigators say he entered the George Washington Bridge Bus Station but have not found video of him leaving or getting on a bus. “It could possibly be a disgruntled employee, or a disgruntled client,” Kenny says of a possible motive in a briefing. Police find what they say is the man’s backpack. Its contents are not disclosed.
The NYPD releases additional photos showing the suspected shooter next to and in the back seat of a taxi. In both images he is seen wearing a blue, medical-style face mask. Despite recovering a fingerprint from the Starbucks purchase and sending items for DNA testing, police have yet to publicly identify the suspect.
Officers from the New York Police Department continued searching Central Park, and released more photos of the suspect next to and in the back seat of a taxi.
NYPD divers looked in Central Park Lake for the weapon used to kill Thompson.
Police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, are dispatched to a McDonald’s to respond to reports of a male matching the description of the suspect in the shooting. Mangione had a gun believed to be the one used in last Wednesday’s shooting, as well as writings suggesting “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said on Monday. He also had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching the one used to check into the Manhattan hostel, Kenny said. Scuba divers are again seen at a Central Park pond. Police decline to comment on the investigation.
Agnifilo was a high-ranking deputy in the Manhattan DA's office for years before entering private practice. Friedman Agnifilo's law firm, Agnifilo Intrater LLP, confirmed in a statement to CBS News on Saturday that she had been retained to represent Mangione.
Agnifilo said during a TV interview, "It looks like to me there might be a 'not guilty by reason of insanity' defense that they're going to be thinking about because the evidence is going to be so overwhelming that he did what he did."
He is also charged in New York with: two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree; four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree; one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree; and one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree. Mangione remains in the custody of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections pending his extradition to New York.

Dec. 12 - Media is hiding the manifesto, Ken Klippenstein releases it

"Let me be perfectly clear. In the nearly two weeks since Mr. Thompson's killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder. Social media has erupted with praise for this cowardly attack. People ghoulishly plastered posters threatening other CEOs with an 'X' over Mr. Thompson's picture, as though he was some sort of a sick trophy," Tisch said.
"These are the threats of a lawless, violent mob who would trade in their own vigilantism for the rule of law that protects us all," Tisch said. "Let me say this plainly, there is no heroism in what Mangione did. This was a senseless act of violence. It was a cold and calculated crime that stole a life and put New Yorkers at risk. We don't celebrate murders and we don't lionize the killing of anyone.
"Any attempt to rationalize this is vile, reckless and offensive to our deeply-held principles of justice," she added.

Mangione has become a figurehead for anger and frustration, particularly among those disillusioned with capitalism and America’s healthcare system.
Part of it lies in the narrative. Mangione isn’t just any accused criminal. He’s the “valedictorian gone rogue,” the bright, wealthy young man who seemingly had it all before spiralling into social isolation, pain, and, ultimately, violence. It’s a story that taps into something primal, the idea that even the most promising among us can be broken by a society that doesn’t care for its people.
Then there’s the manifesto. The phrase “these parasites had it coming” may be chilling, but for those who feel crushed by medical debt or corporate greed, it resonates in a dark, unsettling way. It’s the kind of rhetoric that channels collective anger, even if the act itself is indefensible. In Mangione, people see someone who allegedly acted on the rage they feel every time they see an unaffordable medical bill or hear about CEOs pocketing millions while workers struggle to make rent.
