Luigi Mangione’s mother spoke with the FBI the night before accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer was arrested: sources
SUMMARY
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was arrested on December 9, 2024, at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. The night before his arrest, Mangione’s mother, Kathleen Mangione, spoke with the FBI after a tip from San Francisco police connected her missing son to surveillance images of the suspect. The images, linked to Thompson's murder on December 4, showed a resemblance to Mangione, though his mother was uncertain. Mangione had been missing since July, and his mother had filed a missing persons report in November. He was carrying fake IDs, a 3D-printed gun with a homemade silencer, and a manifesto criticizing corporate greed in the health insurance industry. Mangione, facing murder charges, is currently in Pennsylvania awaiting extradition to New York. His family expressed shock at the arrest, while Mangione pleaded not guilty to gun and forgery charges.
