New Information Shows UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Assassin Has California Ties
Mangione lived and worked in the SF Bay Area

The person of interest in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last week, Luigi Mangione, was revealed to have ties to the San Francisco Bay Area, showing that he had lived in California for some time before the assassination.
What is currently known about Mangione is that he grew up in Maryland to a prominent Baltimore family who owned country clubs, hotels, and radio stations. The family is also in politics, with Mangione’s cousin, Nino Mangione, currently a state delegate in Maryland. Luigi Mangione was valedictorian of the Class of 2016 at the Gilman School in Maryland, and would later get a bachelors and masters degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Following that, he lived in Honolulu for a few years doing remote work as a data engineer for TrueCar until moving back to Maryland in recent months. During this time it has been reported that he had severe back pain.
Currently he is suspected of having to traveled by bus to New York City in late November and staying in a Manhattan hostel. The day after checking out on December 3rd, he then allegedly shot Thompson outside the New York Hilton Midtown Hotel with a suppressed 3D pistol, then fled by bike through the city to a bus station. After that, his whereabout were unknown until Monday when an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald’s employee called the police on him, leading to his arrest. He was found with not only the murder weapon on him, but also a manifesto and confession. He was charged on five counts of carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities, possessing “instruments of crime” that night, with New York also charging him with another 5 counts, including second-degree murder, which will likely be upgraded as investigations continue.
On Tuesday morning, before going to an extradition hearing, Mangione could be heard yelling “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s lived experience!” As of Tuesday afternoon, he has been denied bail and will likely be back in New York soon. A motive is currently unknown, but evidence from words written on bullet casings and his manifesto have pointed towards anger with the U.S. Healthcare system.
The California connections
On Monday it was also revealed that, in addition to Hawaii, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, Mangione had ties to California. Mangione lived and worked at Stanford University in the summer of 2019, where he was a head counselor under the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies program. This was confirmed by the University in a statement, saying, “We can confirm that a person by the name of Luigi Mangione was employed as a head counselor under the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies program between May and September of 2019.”
Mangione may have lived in San Francisco for awhile after returning from Hawaii. According to multiple reports, Kathleen Mangione, the shooter’s mother, had made a missing persons report to the San Francisco Police on November 18th, a week before his next known whereabouts in New York. It is currently unknown if he had lived there or if his mother only thought he lived there.
In addition, Mangione was employed by the Santa Monica-based Truecar company, which gives pricing information to potential car buyers. However, he worked remotely for them, and it is unknown if he ever visited the company headquarters.
Currently, all parties are working with authorities on Mangione, with other Californian ties possibly to be unveiled in the coming days.
“During an investigation like this, everyone is going to be as straightforward as possible,” Bay Area Security consultant and former policeman Frank Ma told the Globe Tuesday. “You have all those people online saying not to give them anything because he murdered a Healthcare company CEO. Regardless of their feelings of the healthcare system, this was still murder, and investigators are treating it like that.
“During these types of investigations, where there are a lot of out of state connections, everyone is always forthcoming about what they have. So in this case, you can bet that Stanford, the SFPD and that car company he was with is giving them everything they got, with the SFPD likely looking more into the missing persons report. And who knows what else.
“But just take a look at everyone cooperating. You have a rock climbing gym in Honolulu, a McDonald’s in Altoona, a private school in Baltimore, a car company in LA, the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford, amongst so many others, all working with investigators. And his time in California could prove to be important, especially if he had been living in San Francisco until last month that the missing persons report suggests. Again, this is all speculation until we known for sure, but his time in California could prove to be very telling.”

Imo, there are many who would be sympathetic, not to the murder of the CEO, but to the idea that denial of legitimate claims is a problem in the insurance industry. This problem is not confined to health insurance but also home insurance and auto insurance. I had a legitimate claim on an extended warranty auto policy denied. Luckily, I refused to pay for the repair on my own and contacted the CA Dept of Insurance with a copy of the contract which clearly showed that the claim was legitimate. The DoI said that the company had to pay and that I should contact up the line…eventually to the company attorney. The attorney approved the claim without litigation imo for fear of being reported to the DoI. The repair took two weeks. Most people would have needed the car right away and paid for the repair on their own; which I believe is what the company wanted. I can see where someone like Mangione could go off the rails if he was indeed in physical pain and could not get relief due to a real or perceived denial of what he believed was a legitimate claim.

Reports are that he not only had a Bay Area connection but a Pelosi connection.
Exactly, you won’t find that anywhere. But is been said that the connection is Luigis grandfather and Nancy’s brother were best of friends. The other is Nancy had some stock action after UnitedHealth Care had a major data breach. What ever action she had is said to have benefited her pockets. One of these days the pockets will get too heavy, she won’t be able to walk.
Basically Mangione was OK until he got to Newsom’s California – then he went crazy….
Executing an insurance executive on the streets of NY? Admires the Unabomber? Disappeared in SF? Not buying the story- he’s a masked avenger but shoots a father of two? No history of mental illness, but he did have a serious back operation. Waiting to learn what drugs he was on.
I agree, Rod. I don’t buy into the Unabomber connection angle either. Mangione is not reported by friends, family and acquaintances as being a loner-recluse like Kaczynski. The “disappearance” part of Mangione’s life was just recently it seems. Mangione appears to have suddenly turned to the dark side. The situation reminds me more of the guy who took a hammer to Paul Pelosi and got life in prison. Something set him off. The difference is that Mangione’s family is well off financially. He will be able to have the best lawyers on his side.
He went from having normal manicured eyebrows in photos last week to having huge unibrows this week?
He seemed to disappear for a while when he was in California and his mother had filed a missing person report with the San Francisco Police Department.
Maybe he’s a just patsy who was a MKUltra victim by one of the three letter .gov agencies?
Interesting that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was in the middle of a federal investigation led by the U.S. Dept. of Justice for insider trading?
Speaking of insider trading…on February 21, 2024, UnitedHealth discovered a cybersecurity breach and on that same day, Nancy Pelosi made her second purchase of call options in Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity company that was later chosen to investigate the breach. Hmmm?
He came from a wealthy and well connected Italian family from Maryland…just like Nancy Pelosi.
Mafia mob ties? Hmmm?
This right here. Luigi orchestrated the cyber attack and when the DOJ got involved he killed the witness….
There is a distinct possibility that the murder was carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum media reaction. that has clearly occurred. The follow up question is why?
As Rod points out Fed Up, Mangione was in the Bay Area for a while. Long enough to be exposed to the liberal drug environment and leftist ideology. The us versus them radical leftist ideology; where anything is justified up to and including killing for the cause.
Interesting report. Here is more coverage of his catastrophic back pain, his mushroom experiments for unremitting pain relief, and his friends/family reaction to his personality changes after back surgery is on The Daily Mail. Read the comments. Go to Amazon and look up Back Pain Books. Back surgery itself is not recommended in my experience. I looked into it during an acute phase of sciatica. What happened to him changed him forever, it appears to me. Not an excuse for murder, tho.

Yes, Roberta. The mushrooms may have pushed him over the edge if he was still taking them. The Alaska Airlines pilot was also a user….https://nypost.com/2024/08/24/world-news/ex-alaska-airlines-pilot-joseph-emerson-who-tried-to-down-flight-while-on-magic-mushrooms-trip-wants-to-fly-again/
Read the story in the Baltimore Afro-American, December 26, 1970. It claims that Mayor Thomas D’Alesandro III (Nancy’s Pelosi’s brother.) and Nicholas Mangione (Luigi Mangione’s grandfather) were members of the same family. Not sure about what that means or any possible family connection between the former speaker and the Mangiones. The story reported on D’Alesandro’s appointment of Mangione to the school board, which upset black Baltimoreans after Mangione insulted the black members of the school board.
From the story:
“The Mayor has been hard pressed to explain the Mangione appointment as the man is in his family.”
