Inside, they found Monopoly money, a law enforcement source told CNN. He rode off on an electric bike on 55th, investigators told CNN.

AdvertisementThe man who shot UnitedHealthcare's CEO appeared to have planned carefully, experts in NYPD manhunts told BI. He took key precautions that delayed his capture, they said — including fleeing into Central Park. The park is the only part of Manhattan not blanketed by surveillance cameras, they said. They've shared crisp, full-color surveillance photos of the suspect and dangled offers of $10,000 for tips leading to his capture. "There are pockets of Central Park that don't have video," Illuzzi said, who is now of counsel at Perry Law in Manhattan.

Thompson's slaying also has spurred some major health companies, including UnitedHealthcare's parent company, to remove photos of executives and board members from their websites. And the health insurer Medica, which like UnitedHealthcare is based in Minnesota, closed its main campus in Minnetonka because of safety concerns for its employees. Centene, which announced the change to a virtual event Friday, is one of the largest Medicaid insurers and was scheduled to have its investor day at the New York Stock Exchange next Thursday. Centene in a statement said that "in the wake of the tragic loss of UnitedHealthcare's CEO Brian Thompson, Centene's Investor Day will now be hosted virtually." Health insurance is a big industry and a small community; many members of the CenTeam crossed paths with Brian during their careers," said Centene CEO Sarah London in a statement.

AdvertisementOfficials reportedly found bullet casings with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" on them at Brian Thompson's murder scene. The words are similar to the title of a 2010 book about the insurance industry, "Delay Deny Defend." Multiple news outlets said that the shell cases found at the scene were inscribed with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose." A major part of this shift occurred when insurance companies, including Allstate in 1992, hired consulting giant McKinsey & Company, he said. The insurance companies started using computer systems to estimate the amounts to be paid and deterring claimants from hiring lawyers, he said.
