US EditionLuigi Mangione’s notes to self: ‘Pluck eyebrows,’ ‘Keep momentum, FBI slower overnight’
Escape notes detailed tactics and travel plans to avoid capture after killing UnitedHealthcare CEO, with a gun matching the murder weapon found in Mangione's possession, prosecutors say.
- On Dec. 9, 2024, court papers show Luigi Mangione’s escape notes and a backpack with a 9 mm handgun matching the murder weapon were presented at a pretrial hearing after his arrest at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
- Prosecutors say the notes and a notebook indicate Luigi Mangione intended to 'wack' a health-insurance executive after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's Dec. 4, 2024 killing, while Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges and his defense lawyers dispute only the search's legality.
- The notes include tactical entries like 'Change hat, shoes, pluck eyebrows' and a hand-drawn map showing routes through Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis, and St. Louis, along with a Philadelphia transit pass purchased at 1:06 p.m.
- Amid the evidence fight, defense lawyers argue the bag search was warrantless, and prosecutors say officers checked for a bomb and obtained a warrant; the state case hearing resumes Thursday.
- Excerpts of body-worn camera footage released Tuesday showed officers noting Mangione's wet bag after arrest, while Altoona Police Officer Stephen Fox testified about Mangione's concerned behavior.
