Man what a responsible individual. E-bike rentals, mass transit, killing parasitic CEO's, this guy seems to be fairly eco-friendly.
- He didn't compost the body though. 😔
  
  He did the best he could with the constraints he had.
  
  He can't do everything. We all must pitch in to help eat the elephant.
  
  I think we can forgive such a minor transgression.

I heard they're hiding out in a billionaire's house. The police better raid and thoroughly search all of those.

Good. I hope he's since gotten on a plane and is chilling on a beach in a non-extradition country right now.
The Adjuster. True American Hero.
- He's probably sailing so his carbon footprint stays low.
  
  Sailing would keep his emissions low but a sailboat has a giant footprint

That's not what I heard, pretty sure he's still in NYC.
Unless he is, in which case he definitely fled the country.
- It's mostly the police saying they spotted a man who fit the description enter a bus station and not be seen leaving it. He's probably going to a variety of US based places at the moment, but he should leave the county ASAP in case DNA points to the actual suspect and he gets put on a no fly list. P
  
  DNA only helps if he's already in the system for some reason, like a previous crime. Or I suppose if he's ever used one of those DNA ancestry things. I bet the police have access to that, whether they're supposed to or not.
  And for a no fly list, they need to know who it is first. If they knew that, we'd probably know as well since they're clearly trying to cast the net as wide as possible.
  
  That assumes they were able to collect DNA from the scene. Which is a public street in the largest city in the country.
- I heard he's hanging out the mole men in the sewers. The cops better check every pipe.

fled
Pretty sure he just kinda left. Probably could’ve been high-fiving people on the way out.
- Now I want to see The Adjuster, the musical, escape scene

No idea why you linked "wiki news" instead of one of the articles it cited...
UnitedHealth Group said it was focused on supporting Thompson’s family, ensuring the safety of employees and assisting investigators. “While our hearts are broken, we have been touched by the huge outpouring,” the company said.
But that gave me a chuckle, there has definitely been a huge outpouring, and I liked how their comment omits what exactly people have been saying, just that they're saying stuff.
- I’m into the wikinews link for this subject, for some reason.
  
  If you meant because of the quote, it's from one of the articles...
  The wikinees link was like two paragraphs with no info

I didn't see nuthin.
- Pretty sure I saw him in Nunavut. They should send the investigators there.
  
  Bro he is in the Sahel right now
  
  He was definitely in Imperial Beach last night. Said something about Zihuatanejo. Might find him in Mexico at this point.

Lol more convinced than ever they're following some Canadian/Vermont kid on a bus trip back north, just because he stopped a night in a NY hostel and wore the wrong type of jacket on his morning coffee run.
- Haha, yeah that’s probably it. We should all buy grey hoodies now just to throw them off
- Imagine the kid is doing just normal kid things and all the cops on the stakeout are like: "Sir, he's assembling the lego millenium Falcon... menacingly"

I wonder how difficult it would be to simply blend in with the homeless for a few weeks. They're pretty much invisible.
- I imagine you could buy a bunch of similar Jackets and distribute them to the homeless in an area prior to doing anything, and just crash with them for some time after.
