got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalising contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma.One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack, not a random one.
This undated photo released by the New York Police Department shows a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4 outside of a taxi.Police know the suspect ambushed Thompson at 6.44am on Wednesday as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise.
On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of the backpack, or on the results of the search in the pond, saying no updates were planned. Investigators have urged patience, saying the process of logging evidence that stands up in court isn’t as quick as it looks like on TV.
