The family of the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare’s CEO had reported him missing last month, and his mother told police her son could be the person seen in surveillance photos one day before his arrest, law enforcement sources told NBC News.
Mangione’s mother said she last spoke to her son on July 1 and that he had been working in San Francisco, the flyer says.
The killing sparked a large manhunt that included the wide distribution of surveillance photos of a person of interest, and a $60,000 reward.
After the killing, a San Francisco police officer thought the images of the person of interest had similarities to the image of Mangione from the missing person report, multiple law enforcement officials said.
San Francisco police contacted the FBI about the possible identity of the man in that photo, the FBI said.
