But the man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York City sidewalk managed to evade capture for days – puzzling even law enforcement experts. Instead, the suspect took a Greyhound bus to New York, law enforcement sources told CNN. Investigators are still trying to determine where the suspect boarded, said John Miller, CNN’s chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst. He checked into a hostel on Manhattan’s Upper West Side using a fake New Jersey driver’s license, a law enforcement official told CNN. Leaving the backpack behind may have been a smart move on the suspect’s part, law enforcement experts said.

NYPDPolice are piecing together the suspect’s movements in the days leading up to the fatal shooting of Brian Thompson, UnitedHealthcare’s CEO. The suspected gunman traveled on a Greyhound bus that started its route in Atlanta, law enforcement sources told CNN. The suspected shooter appeared to wear a mask throughout most of his stay at the hostel, law enforcement sources told CNN. The suspect checked out of the hostel on November 29 and checked back in on November 30, law enforcement sources told CNN. He paid the establishment in cash, according to one source — checking into the hostel using a fake New Jersey driver’s license, a law enforcement official previously told CNN.

While authorities say they believe the suspect has long left New York City after fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Wednesday, officials said they feel confident he will be captured.

However, authorities uncovered a backpack upon a second sweep of Central Park Friday evening, which awaits forensic lab testing in Queens, a law enforcement official told CNN. Investigators are also examining whether the shooter used a specialized weapon in the killing, Kenny told reporters Friday. The suspect traveled to New York City on a Greyhound bus that began its route in Atlanta, Kenny said Friday. The law enforcement source said most people on the list have been already been dismissed by using social media searches. The mandate is to continue to build a video timeline of every day the suspect was in the city, the source said.
