Luigi Mangione is said to have appointed UnitedHealthcare CEO.

His mother reported him missing and believed he might be capable of such an act.

Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania and is expected to be extradited to New York on Thursday.
“That's something I wouldn't trust him to do,” Luigi Mangione's mother said on the phone with police just two days before his arrest at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. He is convicted of murdering the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in cold blood.
New York Police Department lead investigator Joseph Kenny said investigators called Mangione's mother to ask whether the suspect police were hunting might be her son. “They had a conversation where she didn't confirm it was her son in the photo, but she said it might be something she could see him doing.”
“Brash, targeted and premeditated murder”
Ms. Mangione, a California resident, reported her son missing in November. You haven't spoken to him since July. Missing-person investigators believed they recognized Mangione after the NYPD released images of the suspect in the Thompson murder, Kenny said at a news conference.
Mangione is charged with first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, seven counts of various degrees of weapons possession and possession of a forged document – all felonies. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called it a “brazen, targeted and premeditated shooting.”
Mangione is in court on Thursday. The issue is whether he can be extradited to New York State. According to Fox News sources, Mangione is unlikely to fight the extradition.
