New details revealed as manhunt for suspect in NYC murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO enters 3rd day

6abc.com UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect no longer believed to be in NYC, NYPD says

The suspected killer of the United Healthcare CEO arrived by bus and now police believe he left New York City that way too.

A law enforcement source told our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in New York, that the suspect's unmasked smile came as he flirted with the front desk clerk who checked him into the hostel, and encouraged him to drop the mask so she could see his smile. The suspect obliged, pulling his mask down long enough for the surveillance camera to capture his face.

Oof.

They are checking every dispute or contested denial of service brought against the company
Isn't that like half of their customers?
- Isn't it crazy how much effort they're putting in to protect CEOs?
  
  Crazy? Maybe.
  Surprising? No.
  Police protecting the wealthy isn't really anything new. If he had shot a filthy peasant instead of a bourgeois we likely wouldn't even know about this story at all.
  On average, there's more than one gunshot homicide in NYC every day and I've barely heard of another one of them until now.
  
  Capitalist states work in the interests the capitalist class, so not at all. This is like Marxism 101.
- 1/3rd, or about 16m people.
  If that's all they got on the guy they ain't finding shit.
  
  That's like 21% of America's population! That said, it could have been a relative and the suspect had a different provider.
- 90% of them, according to an angry comment I read a moment ago

How about we spend all this money and time on the hundreds of other ongoing murder investigations. A CEO's family doesn't need this government handout. They get paid enough to take care of things privately.
Just one more example of the perversion and inequality of America, and how the rich continue to loot the country.

Stealing this ShowerThoughts post from Reddit:
It's interesting how we are often told how law enforcements budgets aren't big enough for them to deal with issues like Medicare fraud, corporate collusion, and illegal claim denials. But when a CEO dies there are enough resources for a multi-state manhunt.

Waste of time and effort. We need to put our resources towards stopping big crime like stopping drug rings from eating dogs and illegal immigrants from taking our drugs, not catching some random one time killer. It's likely a crime of passion type thing since there was only one victim.
- There was only one victim so far.
  
  Well we better get the fuck out of the way of a potential serial killer

Seems a bit odd the family isn't kicking in more reward money. $10k isn't much these days.
- Gotta save the legal fund for inheritance squabbling
- Eh it's enough for them to fake being upset for a good show and at the same time they don't want to give away all that inheritance. The family knew he was scum.
- Given his salary was reported for last year as 51 million it looks like he won't be missed that much.
- I don't think that covers the premiums and deductible for even employer sponsored plans.
- I honestly don't think I would genuinely snitch on this dude for $10M, let alone $10k. But for $10M I'd take it and make up a really good believable lie.

It took the cops 2 days to figure out he left the state. Great work 👏
- Remember, those cops are getting their claims denied too. They have every reason to slow walk this…
  The only people that I know of who aren’t dealing with this clusterfuck are the current and former congress critters, the military, and I believe federal employees / executive and judicial branches. Everyone else is getting fucked the same.
  
  You don't think federal employees get healthcare from the same providers as everyone else?

I hope this ASSASSIN ends in Prison and DOESNT use their New Found Superpower to hurt MORE Rich People! Just let them Kill Us in PEACE!

May the adjuster enjoy his well earned respite.

Anyone who takes COVID-19 seriously is a prime suspect 😷
Edit to add: I don’t know why people are downvoting a known fact: that the US police state is suspicious of anyone wearing a mask/respirator, which is why laws banning them keep expanding & spreading.
- Get help
  
  Not that the person you're replying to is or isn't sane, there have been a spat of laws recently making it illegal to wear a mask in some obviously dumb Republican areas.
  
  no u. Have you been living under a rock?
