The suspect is believed to have used buses to arrive in and leave New York City.
New York police detectives arrived in Atlanta on Saturday following a large number of tips linked to the as-yet-unidentified suspect wanted in Wednesday'sThe Atlanta Police Department confirmed the arrival of the New York team but declined to give more specifics.
For the second straight day, NYPD divers entered a lake near Central Park's Bethesda Fountain on Sunday searching for evidence connected to the Midtown homicide. It was unclear if investigators recovered anything from the water.The masked gunman shot Thompson at point-blank range at 6:44 a.m. on Dec. 4 outside the New York Hilton Midtown, where Thompson's company was holding an investors conference.
The NYPD believes it is making good progress toward identifying the shooter but has so far not done so, sources told ABC News. Late Saturday, the NYPD released new images of the suspected shooter in what appeared to be the back of a cab. No further context was given. The NYPD recovered a backpack that allegedly belonged to the suspect on Friday night. The bag had only two items inside -- a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money -- sources with knowledge of the ongoing investigation told ABC News Saturday.
Police were also able to extract a fingerprint off a water bottle the suspect bought at a Starbucks. The print is smudged, so it is unclear whether it will be helpful to the investigation, sources said.
