As the hunt for the suspect who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson continues, a retired FBI special agent details why some information about the alleged suspect is being withheld.
A retired FBI special agent explained why authorities have not yet released the name of the suspected killer who gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Wednesday in New York City. 'Releasing the suspect’s name prematurely could tip them off and compromise the NYPD and FBI’s efforts during both the fugitive and criminal investigations,' Jason Pack told Fox News Digital.
The suspect doesn’t know for sure if law enforcement has identified him, leaving him to play a guessing game as he calculates his next move,' Pack said. 'Investigators must methodically build their case, ensuring every detail aligns with legal standards for probable cause. 'While the public may have an insatiable curiosity, withholding the name — if they have it — gives investigators the upper hand. In time, the full story will come to light.
can tell you behind the scenes, I believe the walls are beginning to close in on this wannabe professional hitman,' Williams told host Eric Shawn. 'The FBI has now, as you stated, joined this search. And I think it's only a matter of time before they catch him. The picture that they have of him is now posted all over this country.' Williams stressed that the FBI's involvement in the search will draw the investigation to a close sooner.
New York's facial recognition technology is limited to New York. But now that the FBI is involved, now they can go into a national database,' the former detective explained. 'And that's going to be very meaningful and helpful to this investigation.' Thompson, who was gunned down outside a New York City hotel just before 7 a.m. Wednesday, died less than 30 minutes later.
