NEW YORK (AP) — They have seen him smiling on a hostel security camera, but don’t know his name . They found the backpack he discarded while fleeing, but don’t know where he's gone. As the search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer goes on, investigators are reckoning with a tantalizing dichotomy: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it, though they are confident it was a targeted attack instead of a random act. “The net is tightening,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday. Hours after he spoke, police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his bag there Friday. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting Wednesday morning outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police provided no updates on the hunt Saturday, but investigators are urging patience — even with a killer on the loose. Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. “This isn’t ‘Blue Bloods.’ We’re not going to solve this in 60 minutes," Kenny told reporters Friday. “We’re painstakingly going through every bit of evidence that we can come across.” The shooter paid cash at the hostel, presented what police believe was a fake ID and is believed to have paid cash for taxi rides and other transactions. He didn't speak to others at the hostel and almost always kept his face covered with a mask, only lowering it while eating. But investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment in which he briefly showed his face soon after arriving in New York on Nov. 24. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven't been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. On Friday evening, investigators found a backpack in Central Park that had been worn by the gunman, police said. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. Another potential clue, a fingerprint on an item he purchased at a Starbucks minutes before the shooting, has so far proven useless for identifying him, Kenny said. Aided by surveillance cameras on nearly every building and block, police have been able to retrace the shooter’s movements. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . Kenny said the fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client. Investigators know from surveillance video that the shooter fled into Central Park on a bicycle and ditched it around 7 a.m. near 85th Street. He then walked a couple blocks and got into a taxi, arriving at 7:30 a.m. at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, which is near the northern tip of Manhattan and offers commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston and Washington. Investigators don't know what happened next. They are searching through more surveillance video but have yet to locate video of the shooter getting on a bus or exiting the station. “We have reason to believe that the person in question has left New York City,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told CNN on Friday. Police have determined from video that the gunman was in the city for 10 days before the shooting. He arrived at Manhattan’s main bus terminal on a Greyhound bus that originated in Atlanta, though it's not clear whether he embarked there or at one of about a half-dozen stops along the route. Immediately after that, he took a cab to the vicinity of the Hilton and was there for about a half hour, Kenny said. At around 11 p.m. on the night he arrived, he went by taxi to the HI New York City Hostel. It was there, while speaking with an employee in the lobby, that he briefly pulled down the mask and smiled, giving investigators the brief glimpse they are now relying on to identify and capture a killer. Associated Press writers Michael Balsamo in Washington, Jake Offenhartz, Cedar Attanasio and Karen Matthews in New York, John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio, and Jeff Martin in Atlanta contributed.7s duo brave floodwaters They took the risk, but it was worth it as 7s sensation and one of the in-form players on the HSBC SVNS WRSS circuit Joji Nasova and upcoming 7s star Iliavi Masori showed great dedication, braving floodwaters to join the national 7s camp in Suva after spending the festive season with their loved ones. The duo left their village in Toge, Ba, on Thursday night despite the heavy rain. They also crossed two flooded bridges to reach the capital at 3am on Friday morning. After resting for a few hours, they headed to their training session. Nasova, after hitting headlines with the Dominion Brothers club, was impressive for the 7s team in Dubai and Cape Town with his explosive runs, try-scoring prowess and the ability to break tackles and make hard-hitting tackles. He debuted for the 7s team at the HSBC Hong Kong 7s and climbed up the ranks quickly with his sublime performance that earned the new kid on the block his first Olympic Games and a silver medal with the 7s team. He struggled and worked hard while growing up, seeing his dream of donning the 7s jumper coming true. Masori, on the other hand, is also living his dream as he rejoined the 7s team. The soft-spoken Masori has maintained commitment and determination throughout his rugby career, overcoming challenges, especially injuries. Both Masori and Nasova are assets to the 7s team. Rajnesh Ishwar Lingam, Nadawa, Nasinu Who will it be? I wonder who will snag the 2024 Letter of the Year. Many thought-provoking and impactful letters have been penned by various contributors in The Fiji Times column this year. While the regulars have continued to raise awareness on numerous matters of national significance, a few budding writers have emerged during the year and embraced the noble idea of sharing their bold assertions via the letters platform. Welcome aboard. So who will it be? A local or perhaps an overseas based contributor? Or possibly that Australian-based expert (not the rugby 7s critic) who always seems to have something insightful to say on almost every subject? He can never be proven incorrect. With every contributor’s ability to engage readers and spark broader deliberations and debates, it will certainly be intriguing to know who ultimately clinches the top reward for this year. Good luck and continue writing! Nishant Singh (Winner 2022), Lautoka Christmas tree I hope the Christmas tree put up at Nausori roundabout was not put up just for the “sake of it”. Let’s hope relevant authorities at Nausori town come up with a decorative Christmas tree come next Christmas. Finally, the tree was taken down on Saturday. I hope the taken down tree does reproduce because definitely it won’t look like a Christmas tree. Shamal Chand , Kuku Village, Nausori Land buyback scheme I humbly request that the Prime Minister Mr Sitiveni Rabuka take some time off from his busy schedule to review the land buyback scheme that his former SVT government executed in 1993. It seems some of the lands were not returned to their rightful traditional owners as was the aim of the scheme and warrants an investigation. Of concern is the Mua Estate agricultural freehold which has been returned to the yavusa Wainikeli instead of the mataqali Savuna of Naselesele Village on Taveuni. No land law in Fiji can be justified if it has no moral basis by denying the rightful and original traditional owners the rights to their land. I believe the Prime Minister is very much responsible for correcting the anomalies of the buyback scheme implemented by his former SVT government. Sakaraia Vuki, Sydney, Australia ‘Protect vulnerable’ Minister Sashi Kiran says look after the vulnerable in evacuation centres during natural disasters because “they were a group that needed the most attention” (ST 29/12). Isn’t the newly-promoted minister stating the obvious? It sounds like a cliched call. Another group that needs attention — in normal times — is the parliamentarians who duly gave themselves a hefty pay rise. Minister Kiran was part of that group of parliamentarians. Voters, I am sure they will remember that when they go to the next polls. Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia Education system To improve, the minister should introduce lecture based teaching and learning facilitated by tutorials, have compulsory agricultural science in all schools, cater for new subjects such as finance, hospitality, and tourism to name a few. Separate physical education from music and art and craft. Have a mentoring program for young teachers, employ relieving teachers to accommodate teachers who are absent for any reason, review the duration of the terms which can result in burnout. Establish a training institution for administrators, head of departments, and assistant teachers. Use modern technology and methods, have sister and brother attachment schools to observe ones strengths and weaknesses in comparison with high performing schools. Recognise the importance of former scholars and parents, guardians and teachers’ associations. Have motivational speakers internally or externally and have a very effective rewards system for all stakeholders. Asish Vinay Prasad, Raiwasa, Suva Eye-in-sky report The advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence) has brought about a revolution in the world of communication and a whole new perception has emerged. I visualise Santa Claus with his sledge as our eye-in-sky reporting on the events of 2024. Thus his AI powered sledge slides through the sky and gives the following report: His journey begins on the Tibetan Plateau and he sees: Let’s thank Santa Claus for this brief report from the sky and let’s pray things will be better next year. Dewan Chand, Namadi Heights, Suva Household rubbish The piles of household rubbish dumped at Uci Rd roundabout in Kalabau Housing (Eye Witness ST 29/12), is a clear indication that the modern “throw away” society has arrived in a big way in the island paradise Fiji. In Australia that is a permanent part of the landscape. Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia Health budget How is it that the Government saved $68,700,000 and Savusavu Hospital’s X-ray machine and other essential, or, critical equipment needed for the proper diagnosis of patients is still either in need of replacement or in dire need of maintenance! Noleen Billings, Savusavu New year’s realisation Instead of a new year’s resolution, some of us need to have a new year’s realisation. Sobo! Wise Muavono , Balawa, Lautoka Happy new year While celebrating well blessed new year 2025 with whatever activities with friends, relatives and neighbours let’s take extreme care to avoid accidents. Drink and drive don’t mix. Welcome 2025 with new resolutions, new challenges for better and well blessed Fiji for our future generations. Tahir Ali, Hamilton, New Zealand What legacy Kiran pledges to build on Tabuya’s legacy (FT 28/12). What legacy is that? Tabuya just got sacked by Prime Minster Rabuka because her antics rendered her unfit to remain a minister in his government. There is nothing for the new minister to build. Just do your job. The people of Fiji don’t expect you to reinvent the wheel! Rajend Naidu, Sydney, Australia True character During the past two election campaigns the leader of NFP was sitting at the same tables and working together with the leaders of the Fiji Labour Party and the Unity Fiji Party and other parties in order to unseat the previous government. Now that NFP is part of a Coalition Government directly as a result of the 2013 Constitution, the leader of the NFP has suddenly got reasons to say some very nasty things about the leaders of FLP and Unity Fiji Party.
