But it is amazing that a person who takes some simple precautions can essentially (for a while, at least) get away with murder in the most surveilled city in the United States…with the full might of the NYC police department seeking clues.
One wonders of he even tried to hide his identity all that hard.
If one were to make a few less mistakes, take a few more simple precautions, then one could likely never be caught.
ETA 12;40PM: Someone saw him in Pennsylvania and called the cops. They caught the suspect not with hard police work and great investigation skills….Instead, someone saw his photo and called the cops in Pennsylvania.
The cops are congratulating each other, but it was a simple phone call that got him, not the thousands of man-hours they spent looking for clues.
My guess is that his guy lost a loved one to an “insurance decision,” and felt he had nothing left to lose…
Well, caught is caught…
If he had always kept his mask on he would not have been recognized and likely never caught. The lefts insane insistence on masking everyone everywhere provides an excellent excuse for criminals to obscure their identity. And if he had at least hidden the firearm and fake ID in a safe untraceable place and not written a “manifesto” the evidence against him would be circumstantial at best. A lucky amateur, not a smart one.
