Family Reported Accused CEO Killer Missing Weeks Before Arrest

Family Reported Accused CEO Killer Missing Weeks Before Arrest

The family of Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had reported him missing weeks before the incident and helped identify him from surveillance footage, according to law enforcement sources. Mangione, 26, is charged with second-degree murder for the targeted shooting of Thompson in New York City. The attack, believed to be motivated by Thompson’s role in the health insurance industry, occurred during an ambush-style assault that launched a nationwide manhunt.

A missing persons flyer revealed Mangione’s family reported him missing to San Francisco police on November 18, stating they last spoke with him on July 1. The family said he had been working in San Francisco before losing contact. The breakthrough in the case came after San Francisco police linked Mangione to surveillance photos widely distributed following the killing. The images showed a person of interest tied to the crime, prompting a $60,000 reward for information.

San Francisco police tipped off the FBI on December 6, believing Mangione resembled the man in the images. Two days later, they contacted Mangione’s mother, who told investigators she thought the person in the photos could be her son. Mangione was arrested on December 9 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after being recognized at a McDonald’s restaurant.

NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny revealed that the murder weapon was recovered and matched ballistically to the crime scene. Shell casings found near Thompson’s body contained the words "deny,” “delay,” and “depose,” echoing grievances often voiced against the health insurance industry. Police also found a handwritten document referencing the healthcare sector. While Mangione and his family were not insured by UnitedHealthcare, investigators believe the company was targeted because of its prominence in the industry.

Thompson’s death ignited widespread outrage, with some venting frustrations at the U.S. healthcare system through online posts and “wanted” posters targeting other CEOs. Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealth Group, defended the company in an op-ed in The New York Times, acknowledging flaws in the healthcare system but emphasizing UnitedHealth’s commitment to improvement. “The health care system in the U.S. does not work as well as it should,” Witty wrote, “but our company strives to make it better.”

Mangione remains in a Pennsylvania jail on gun and forgery charges and is contesting extradition to New York. His attorney, Thomas Dickey, stated that Mangione would plead not guilty to all charges. “I have not seen one scintilla, one speck, one drop of any evidence yet,” Dickey said. Mangione’s family issued a statement expressing their shock and prayers for Thompson’s family, as well as for Mangione. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson, and we ask that people pray for Luigi,” the statement read.

Mangione recently retained Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a high-profile New York defense attorney and former top Manhattan prosecutor. Her husband, Marc Agnifilo, is representing Sean “Diddy” Combs in a separate federal case. This legal pairing highlights the couple’s influence in the New York legal scene, with Friedman Agnifilo joining her husband’s firm earlier this month.

Will The Diddy Verdict Hinder More Victims From Coming Forward?

Will The Diddy Verdict Hinder More Victims From Coming Forward?

Will The Diddy Verdict Hinder More Victims From Coming Forward? DESCRIPTION: When high-profile cases like Sean “Diddy” Combs end with silence, dismissal, or inaction, the consequences stretch far beyond the defendant. In this compelling episode, Eric Faddis, a seasoned defense attorney and former prosecutor, unpacks how the handling of the Diddy allegations might deter future victims from ever stepping forward. This isn’t just about one man. It’s about the chilling effect of celebrity-driven justice: the message it sends to survivors, the fear it instills in witnesses, and the public backlash that often greets those who dare to speak up. Faddis digs into how media bias, influencer loyalty, and the normalization of abuse within power structures can create an atmosphere where victims are silenced before they even speak. Do verdicts like this fuel more silence? Does celebrity status come with an unspoken immunity clause? And is the legal system truly equipped—or even willing—to confront icons with blood on their hands? If you're looking for honest, intelligent analysis with real-world consequences, this is the conversation you need to hear. #Hashtags: #DiddyVerdict #VictimSilence #EricFaddis #SurvivorJustice #CelebrityScandal #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeDiscussion #LegalCulture #MeTooMovement #JusticeDelayed Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How Did Diddy Get Away With His Crime? Legal Experts Weigh In DESCRIPTION: In this no-holds-barred interview, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break down one of the most disturbing legal questions in modern celebrity crime: How did Sean “Diddy” Combs manage to escape real legal consequences for decades of alleged abuse, manipulation, and coercion?

Faddis offers a sobering, expert-backed analysis of how wealth, celebrity, and influence can create an invisible shield around high-profile defendants. We examine the role of NDAs, victim intimidation, PR spin, and the legal gray areas where truth and power collide.

Did Diddy Tamper With Witnesses To Secure Not-Guilty Verdict?

Did Diddy Tamper With Witnesses To Secure Not-Guilty Verdict?

Did Diddy Tamper With Witnesses To Secure Not-Guilty Verdict Description: Two key witnesses were expected. Two never showed. And shortly after, the most serious charges—sex trafficking, racketeering, kidnapping, arson—quietly disappeared from the jury’s hands. Coincidence? Or something darker? In this gripping episode, attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to tackle one of the most lingering, uncomfortable questions surrounding the Diddy verdict: Did Sean “Diddy” Combs tamper with witnesses to secure his not-guilty outcome? We break down what we know about Victim #3 and Victim #5—two alleged survivors who were listed in pre-trial filings, referenced in jury prep, and reportedly prepped by the government… until they vanished. There was no testimony, no explanation, and no redirect. And in their absence, the case lost its teeth. Eric explores: What counts as witness tampering under federal law Why tampering is notoriously hard to prove—even when it’s suspected How fear, intimidation, or power imbalance can silence victims without leaving a trail What prosecutors typically do to secure vulnerable witnesses—and why it might’ve failed here We also examine what legal tools prosecutors have when witnesses back out mid-trial, and why jurors often interpret missing testimony as evidence that the government is hiding something—or that a case isn’t as strong as it seems. Whether this was tampering, trauma, or trial mismanagement, one thing is clear: the absence of these witnesses dramatically altered the case’s trajectory. And for a man accused of orchestrating years of systemic abuse, silence may have been his most powerful ally. #DiddyTrial #WitnessTampering #MissingWitnesses #EricFaddis #TrialAnalysis #JusticeSystemFailure #SexTraffickingCase #FederalCrimes #CourtroomTactics #HiddenKillers    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Is The Diddy Verdict A Societal Rejection Of The 'MeToo' Era?

Is The Diddy Verdict A Societal Rejection Of The 'MeToo' Era?

Is The Diddy Verdict A Societal Rejection Of The 'MeToo' Era Description: The verdict in the Diddy trial did more than divide legal analysts—it reignited a cultural debate we thought had already been settled: Are we still in the #MeToo era, or are we witnessing its slow rejection in real time? In this provocative and timely episode, attorney Eric Faddis joins us to ask whether the jury’s refusal to convict Diddy on sex trafficking and racketeering charges reflects something far larger than one trial. Was this a quiet rebuke of #MeToo itself? We dig into how jurors today process trauma testimony, particularly in high-profile cases involving powerful men. Did they not believe the victims—or did they simply believe the behavior, while wrong, wasn’t “criminal enough”? And if so, what does that say about where the public conscience currently sits? Eric brings his dual perspective as both a former prosecutor and defense attorney to tackle key questions: Have jurors developed fatigue toward celebrity abuse cases? Was the bar set during #MeToo too high for a jury now looking for “perfect victims”? How does the absence of physical captivity or force change jurors’ perception of abuse? We also explore whether prosecutors leaned too heavily on cultural cues—assuming jurors would “feel the moment” without hammering home the legal definitions needed for conviction. Eric explains the difference between moral outrage and legal proof, and how one doesn’t always translate to the other in court. Ultimately, this episode asks whether this verdict was less about Diddy—and more about us. If we don’t recognize psychological coercion and exploitation as crimes anymore, what kind of accountability is left? #MeTooVerdict #DiddyTrial #EricFaddis #CulturalBacklash #JusticeFatigue #CelebrityTrials #TrueCrimeCulture #PowerAndAccountability #SexTraffickingTrial #HiddenKillers    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking Down THE BREAK-DOWN In The Prosecution Of Sean Diddy Combs With Attorney Eric Faddis

Breaking Down THE BREAK-DOWN In The Prosecution Of Sean Diddy Combs With Attorney Eric Faddis

Breaking Down THE BREAK-DOWN In The Prosecution Of Sean Diddy Combs With Attorney Eric Faddis Description: The prosecution came in hot. Multiple alleged victims. Years of accusations. A viral video of Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura. And yet—after weeks of testimony and mounting evidence—the jury said: guilty, but only on the lesser charges. So what exactly went wrong? In this episode, we sit down with criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis to dissect the unraveling of the federal government’s case against Diddy. Eric takes us inside the mechanics of a federal prosecution—what prosecutors aim to prove in sex trafficking and racketeering cases, how they structure witness timelines, and how those foundations can start to collapse when even one crucial piece goes missing. We explore: The impact of key witnesses (like Victims #3 and #5) never testifying The prosecution’s decision to drop kidnapping and arson allegations mid-trial How the defense weaponized silence by presenting no case at all Whether this was overconfidence, prosecutorial mismanagement, or both Eric also weighs in on whether the jury simply rejected the broader trafficking narrative—or if this was a case lost on strategy and execution, not evidence. Was the prosecution too fragmented in its approach? Did they fail to give jurors a cohesive “villain arc”? Or did they underestimate how a celebrity defendant and high-profile chaos could distort the courtroom dynamic? If you watched this case and found yourself asking, “How does someone get convicted of transporting women for sex—but not for trafficking them?”—this breakdown pulls no punches. #DiddyVerdict #EricFaddis #FederalProsecution #TrialBreakdown #TrueCrimePodcast #WitnessCollapse #CelebrityJustice #SexTraffickingTrial #JusticeSystemFailure #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
