United Healthcare Murder: The Luigi Mangione Story

Here's the part nobody wants to say out loud: the millions of Americans who expressed some form of support for Luigi Mangione don't actually want a father dead on a sidewalk. They don't want Paulette Thompson to be a widow. They don't want two boys in Minnesota growing up without their dad.

One year after Brian Thompson was shot on a Manhattan sidewalk, Luigi Mangione's lawyers are fighting to throw out the most critical evidence in the case—the ghost gun, the manifesto, and everything he said to police. The suppression hearing started last week. We finally saw the body cam footage from inside that McDonald's. We heard the 911 call. And we learned that an officer said they "probably...

He kills a man on a NYC sidewalk — then sits at McDonald’s for 40 minutes while law enforcement hunts him. He gives his real name without fight, never touches the gun, then talks endlessly in custody. What kind of killer behaves like that? In Part 2, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to interpret the odd psychology and what it might mean for the future of the case. We explore: Whether M...

The suppression hearing for Luigi Mangione took a turn when prosecutors introduced a photo taken moments after his arrest — a photo showing Mangione had urinated on himself inside the Altoona McDonald's .
