CEO Assassin May Have Used 'Covert-Type' Weapon - Took Greyhound Bus To NYC Last Month
The NYPD's principal "person of interest" in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson arrived in Manhattan late last month after a long bus ride from Atlanta -- then stayed at a hostel ahead of Wednesday's shocking act, law enforcement sources tell various outlets. Many more details are piling up -- from the remarkable weapon cops think he used to the type of pricey backpack he seems to have ditched in Central Park -- but there's still no name to go with the smiling face captured by the hostel's front-desk security camera.
Police say the man arrived in New York City on Nov. 24 -- the Sunday before Thanksgiving -- stepping off a Greyhound bus at the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan around 9pm. That particular bus route originates in Atlanta. Some reports say police don't yet know where he boarded the coach, while others indicate investigators believe he was aboard from the start of the nearly 900-mile journey from Atlanta to New York, which can take 20 hours or more on Greyhound.
Police sources say he then checked into the HI New York City Hostel at Amsterdam Avenue and West 103rd Street, on the Upper West Side near Central Park. The revelation of his face appears to have come during a flirtatious moment of weakness as he interacted with a woman working the hostel's front desk, lowering his mask to beam at her across the desk. The suspect left the hostel on Friday, Nov. 29, only to return via Uber to check back in the very next day.
