Mother of suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing spoke with FBI the night before her son's arrest: report
The FBI questioned the mother of Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the night before her son’s arrest in Pennsylvania, and she told the agents he bore a resemblance to the suspect wanted for the killing, according to a Friday report.
Kathleen Mangione was questioned Sunday night by the agency’s Joint Violent Crimes Task Force following a tip it received four days before from San Francisco Police about a missing person’s report the family filed last month, law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
San Francisco Police notified federal agents after they recognized the suspect’s face in surveillance images that the New York City Police Department released seeking public assistance after Thompson’s death on Dec. 4, although Kathleen Mangione was not entirely confident that it was her son in the images, according to the report.

The suspect was arrested the next morning at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania before federal agents could notify the NYPD of the conversation, the outlet noted.
He was found with fake IDs and a 3D-printed gun that matched the three shell casings found at the crime scene. He is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, illegal weapons possession and forgery.
His mother reported him missing to San Francisco Police on Nov. 18, explaining that she had not spoken to her son since July 1 and was unaware of where he might be.

Luigi Mangione, 26, is accused of shooting and killing Thompson, 50, outside the Hilton hotel in Manhattan on Dec. 4.
“Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.”
The suspect has been fighting extradition to New York, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Friday that the alleged killer may waive his extradition next week.

“Indications are that the defendant may waive, but that waiver is not complete until a court proceeding,” Bragg said during a press conference. “Until that time, we’re going to continue to press forward on parallel paths, and we’ll be ready whether he’s going to waive extradition or contest extradition.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to San Francisco Police, NYPD and the FBI for comment.

LOWELL — The Boston Fleet returned from their nine-day break with a win against the Ottawa Charge at Tsongas Center. Both teams lost two of their last three entering Tuesday night’s matchup.
Both teams went into the final 20 minutes of play tied at 2-2, but Hannah Brandt scored the game-winning goal for Boston to give the home team its second straight victory and first win streak of the season.
The first 20 minutes saw a combined 16 shots between both teams but goalies Aerin Frankel and Emerance Maschmeyer stood on their heads for Boston and Ottawa, respectively, to keep the game scoreless.
The second period was a different story with four goals scored.
The game’s first goal came 2:18 into the second period when Jamie Lee Rattray buried her first goal of the season. Ottawa tied things up four minutes later with a goal from Shiann Darkangelo — who began last season with the Fleet before being traded to the Charge — but Boston reclaimed the lead two minutes later thanks to Shay Maloney’s first PWHL goal.
With 3:42 left in the second Aneta Tejralova — who spent a season with the PHF’s Boston Pride — shot one right past Frankel to make it 2-2 as Ottawa tied the game for a second time in the period.
The game remained tied for the first half of the third period until Brandt ripped one past Maschmeyer to give the Fleet their third and final lead of the game with help from a nice pass from Hilary Knight from behind the net.
The Charge went on a crucial power play with about seven minutes left when Sydney Bard was called for boarding in the third period. But the Fleet killed it off thanks to some big saves from Frankel.
Ottawa pulled Maschmeyer in the final two minutes for the extra skater, but Frankel once again stood on her head despite the Charge’s best effort. The Northeastern product stopped 24 of 26 shots in the win.
Boston now has 10 days off and returns to action Dec. 27 against the Toronto Sceptres at Coca-Cola Center.
