So it's looking like the nypd bungled the investigation into the Adjuster. (hexbear.net)

It's going to be a week and they've yet to release his name even though they lied and said they knew it yesterday. Given this much of a head start, HOPEFULLY, he could be anywhere in the world rn.

If they haven't gotten him now I doubt they ever will. Solving murders isn't like on CSI/copaganda show of choice, and this type of anonymous killing is the hardest to solve. Especially since the list of people who had reason to want him dead may as well just be a list of anyone screwed over by a health insurance company(+family & friends, so basically everyone in America).

It sounds like this guy knew what he was doing, planned it out, and successfully pulled it off. Chances are the gun is long gone, probably same with the outfit he wore. Hell, the bike he rode off on might already be in pieces and disposed of. Depending on the resources he had access to he could be anywhere by now.

The only evidence I've heard that the cops have are the deny-defend-depose bullet casings & the backpack full of monopoly money (which probably isn't even his, my fake money is on someone trolling the cops & throwing up a little smokescreen). Even the different photos they released look like different guys.

Go watch a few episodes of The First 48. It's amazing how many people get caught because an anonymous tip comes in to give them a break in the case. Other than that, it's mostly them gathering evdence at the scene, asking witnesses, talking to coworkers and family of the deceased, and just hoping a dot connects.

I saw one episode where the guy they ended up charging came to the police station to say he had nothing to do with the murder. They hadn't heard of this guy and had nothing pointing to him before this point. Total fluke

Let's examine the means, motivation, and opportunity of the shooting to narrow it down who coulda dunnit:

Means: Just some generic pistol that anyone who isn't a felon could legally buy (and felons could illegally buy), subsonic rounds that (almost?) everyone could buy, and a silencer that could be legally purchased or illegally manufactured.

Motivation: Literally anyone who has ever been insured by United Health.

Opportunity: Anyone who was in NYC on that day.

United Health had also just done massive layoffs so it's all customers and any ex-employees

Don't forget the people screwed over by his insider trading.

Yeah, but that's the thing. It's not like they're gonna just admit defeat in this situation; this is gonna get treated like the punishment of a royal assassination case in the middle ages. Somebody is gonna have to take the fall for this, whether they actually did it or not, and it's probably going to be made in the most openly cruel way possible.
