This week, we discuss the shocking murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, who was fatally shot outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in December 2024. Thompson, a prominent leader in the health care industry, was in New York for a conference when his life was tragically cut short.

We delve into the life of the alleged perpetrator, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, who was arrested days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and now faces multiple charges, including murder as an act of terrorism. What motivated Mangione, and how was he tracked down across state lines?

Listeners will gain insight into the intense manhunt that captivated the nation, the meticulous investigation that led to Mangione’s arrest, and the implications of the charges he faces. 

Finally, we explore the cultural resonance of this case, from media coverage to the broader issue of healthcare inequality in America and the public's unexpected support of the alleged suspect.
