24 hours after the arrest of suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione, new details have begun to emerge about his background and possible motive.
Here with the latest developments is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. Hey Cabot, so a story that continues to captivate the nation. Catch us up to speed.
Well, Luigi Mangione is currently being held in Pennsylvania, where he made his first court appearance yesterday after being denied bail. The big question at the moment is when he'll be extradited to New York, where he was charged with murder. We've also learned in the last 24 hours that Mangione's manifesto included the line, quote, to the feds, I'll keep this short because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. As Mangione was led into the courtroom for his extradition hearing yesterday, he began struggling with police, frantically shouting at reporters. Have a listen. We also heard yesterday from a customer who was in McDonald's Monday morning and helped identify Mangione, joking with his friends at the time that he looked like the suspect.
An employee taking Mangione's order overheard that customer and thought the same thing before calling police.
One of my friends, and I thought he was kidding, when the shooter, I'm assuming was the shooter, came in, he made a comment, but that looks like the shooter from New York.
Wild to think this is how he ended up getting caught. Now, we're also learning new details on how police were able to catch their man. Tell us about that.
Yeah, as they worked to piece together a timeline leading up to the murder, investigators say Mangione took meticulous steps to evade detection. For example, he traveled to New York by Greyhound bus, meaning he was able to avoid using his real name or credit card. And he stayed in a hostel for 10 nights prior to the attack. paying with cash and wearing a mask for the duration of his trip. But it was one crucial error that ultimately led to his capture. According to authorities, Mangione was flirting with an employee at the hostel who at one point asked him to lower his mask and show his face. He complied and it was that smiling image captured on a security camera that that was then shared with the public and ultimately used to identify him. One little slip there.
