Online sleuths dive into clues following UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder in Manhattan
The mysterious murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan on Wednesday sparked a wave of online sleuthing, with armchair detectives already speculating that the killer's weapon was a Station 6 or B&T VP9 pistol, and that his backpack was a Peak Design Everyday Backpack 30L.
They also linked the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" carved into the shell casings to a 2010 book criticizing the insurance industry titled "Delay, Deny, Defend," fueling theories about the shooter's potential motive.
So far, authorities are still piecing together the evidence and sifting through surveillance footage, while the killer remains at large.
