so I watched this once to see what y'all thought about the shooter, etc. But then I read the comments about your cold case foundation, and will watch again to catch all that I missed on your foundation. Thanks all of you for being honest and good hoomans!!
If anything ever happens to me or my family I want YOU GUYS on the case! I really appreciate the time you took to explain how the Cold Case Foundation works and how/why it got set up!
What a great concept that you have put together in the Foundation!!! My husband was a law enforcement chaplain for 22 years and this Foundation would have been such a gift to help families and victims!!! God bless you richly! I ordered your book!!
I ordered the book within 10 minutes of watching the replay. The subject of solving cold cases has fascinated me for years. Thank God for the advances in DNA! It’s sad to know that so many family members died waiting for their loved ones cases to be solved, but now there is definite hope. Great show, Chris, Greg, Tom and Dean! 🎄
I am from Pretoria South Africa, I love Monday mornings because I know TiR is going to be on youtube!! Love the channel and guests, was looking forward to one with the CCF guys on. People always ask why I follow USA crime and true crime stories, it's because of the transparency, a case can be followed from when the crime occured to sentencing in a court of law. South Africa is supposed to be a well developed forward country, but, due to corruption etc very little is made public, as you guys said, LE only gives about 10% to public but at court it all comes out and justice is served, we have lost many great investigators in our country we don't even report much to saps anyway dockets get lost and everything is chaos. Thanks for you all sharing your knowledge.
Great introduction. Very informed what Law Enforcment personnel preform in protecting, serving, and solving crime. Discussion on UHC CEO done with dignity and professional. Gentlemen, thank you for your service.
Well, Chris, you were spot-on with your prediction Sunday nite! I’m guessing you had just arrived at your destination Monday morning when they caught him. Now that’s a Cyber Monday! And, as Teresa M pointed out, you were right that he was a gamer, too. Not only does the CCF have brilliance within its walls, but the interaction and cross-training must be like a stick of LE “Dynomite” (as our Good Times actor used to say so well) 🧨 As we know for some time, it’s not just Dr. B that gives prescient analysis! Carry on for us! 🤗
@@Juke582 FYI he could care less about a message, United Health Care has several CEOs and the top guy is British. It will be horrifying to see his manifesto.
He was not acting alone..I believe it's a team of 2 or 3..so far, he has eluded the NYPD, the FBI...and the press. He's not in Atlanta..he's out of the country...he left New York via the Airport.
Or he zipped his ebike into his brownstone, walked upstairs and got ready for work. Or left the ebike next to an addict, walked to his car and drove home to Jersey.
Morning chris i really loved your show last night i hope the cold case gets so much attention and new funding cause what you are doing is not giving up and telling families they matter. Ive ordered the book but ceo shooter i gotta ask does nobody find it strange that he knew Thompson was not using main entrance but a side entrance on another street that red flagged me more than anything
Do you know how much different DNA is located in a boarding house like that...hundreds of people coming through there a week...thousands of people that stay there. The perfect way to stay "hidden in the crowd"
10 days! If they found his phone? Backpack? And I’m not sure what other items they are claiming it could be his? Isn’t there DNA all over that as well? So DNA at a place you’re staying for 10 days? No trace what about that person he flirted with at the desk?
I'm saving for Dr G's book the new evil, and when thats done I will start saving for the cold case foundation book and dr Burgess books, the exchange rate is frightening, but eventually I hope to have them all, thanks for all your dedication alwaya❤
I am so sorry to make this observation with regards to another case, but just a thought. The LE on this case, and the LE of the Idaho investigation. Stark difference, only due to resources and training. Should all LE have the same level of resources and training for these type of crimes.
A professional would not have to be so obvious but could shoot from an advantage point, unseen. This shooter could have been a hired gun. Food for thought.....
I would guess he surveilled his target before he acted. It seems this was well planned out, he/she/they wouldn't want to make a mistake at the very end.
Easy to find out as it’s all booked and ready for the entire world to see once this event is initially booked. Just think about how many people have touched or have access to Hiltoin and their affiliate system information? And they post the agendas everywhere. He’s investor and it was an investor conference correct? Was it even on UHC website?and it’s not even the first thing to see when you’re booking an event such as this one in the industry. Fairly common.
@@Juke582 he’s been in the city for 10 days he checked into that place and then he was supposed to recheck that by a certain time they thought he went somewhere else, but then he re-checked in. Read the timeline that’s posted on a national website last 12 hours. Don’t argue with me about some thing we are enjoying watching please. Everybody is giving different information and we’re speculating…goodness
Great panel. Have always thought the obvious motive was a misdirect. Think it is related to those supposed Stock sales earlier in the year or maybe to someone close to home. Not some random upset customer or family member knew all this information to get him.
Yes, I think there was more planning involved. When I look at the images of person in mask, it appears to be two different men who resemble one another. I’d be curious to know how often the company had meetings at this particular location? Seems like the person(s) knew the CEO had a routine of walking when in NYC.
I had heard somewhere that he stole it or else you can’t hop on bike without paying for it which means your credit card. I’m not 100% because it was earlier when I had heard that rumor. Or twist that somebody was definitely helping him with the bike just being there at that moment for him? 🤔
He probably has a support group..given the amount of disdain so many people have for the victim as well as the health-care system as a whole..The People's Action Institute being one.
CEO & wife were separated & lived in two separate homes. Hers was in her name his was in his name. It was reported that she stated that he had gotten several threats recently…. why would he decline security for this trip?
She announced those threats within hours of the killing. It was suspiciously fast and something that pricked my senses. It sounds like someone pushing a narrative. Arguably the casings are too, to push people to the narrative of it being a customer or employee. I could be wrong about all of this. But it seems very sus to me.
@@TN-rf7nt yes I agree! She tried to passively push a narrative that he had threats but does not say what threats or when. I saw a whole breakdown of this. Was it this channel? Or maybe Gavin Fish? The color of his jacket! A color that would def stand out too. The exact time of his being there. Come on.
jonbenet coverage with my all time favourite gary ws excellent. i was surprised at the level of detail. stuff i had never known and i thought i knew it all. this one .. is for tonight. i never suspected the parents .. and that first on the scene police officer was an unfortunate problem which has probably affected the case for the last 30 eyars.
I am remembering being lured as a teenager. But my mom made my dad come with me. Much to my annoyance. He waited in the car. I never told anyone. I don’t know why my young self stayed quiet. Embarrassment? Hopefully times have changed.
Is there a chance multiple people were used that looked alike to confuse the investigation? Some people are saying the pictures don’t look like same person…. Just wondering.
According to, The Economic Times, 08 December, 2024 09:35 PM -8 GMT, quoting The Wall Street Journal: "He and his wife had been (According to The Wall Street Journal, the couple had been) living in separate homes in Maple Grove, Minnesota, for years. Separated, but still close to family, Thompson bought a second home near his wife and children in 2018."
He is not a professional assassin, but he has evaded an army of law enforcement for nearly a week, so what does that say about law enforcement? Also, the errors you are talking about don't seem to be errors, but rather are part of the show. This is a political message, so a clean undetected hit would have undermined his objective.
Says nothing bad about law enforcement at all! Geez use common sense! He did it very early morning and had big head start to get away and wasn’t far to bus station either! He was there in minutes before rescue even got to the body! It’s not that hard to get away in a big city of people! Duh 🙄
Two tier policing. Two tier justice If there is some snitch expecting 30 pieces of silver reward - it will be sweet justice if the claim is denied Anyone pocketing $60,000. Are they expecting nobody to snitch on them ?
If it was a B&T station 6 9 or a VP 9, they are a bolt action mechanism. You have to work the bolt to cycle every round. If that jammed, my guess is that he did not fully activate the bolt action ( you have to pull back and rotate the bolt to extract a casing. A new round loads into the chamber with completing the bolt cycle.
I think this guy came from Atlanta but, just had a car park there or close buy which when he got back there he got in his car and took off... who know where he is now (?) Could even be gotten on a plane is out of the country by now (?)
In the book, do you share info that can help out back roads police departments do decent investigations? The Delphi case was such a poor investigation that it took too long to prosecute and some even wonder if they got the wrong guy
This was a great show about a great book about great people and a great foundation in which I have the pleasure of serving! Loved it.
so I watched this once to see what y'all thought about the shooter, etc. But then I read the comments about your cold case foundation, and will watch again to catch all that I missed on your foundation. Thanks all of you for being honest and good hoomans!!

@ Chris your hilarious."Greg and I go way back. I met him a couple weeks ago"😅 haha cute!!

when the U of Idaho in moscow is out for summer break that town empties...goes from 20,000 to 6 in a weekend...I know I lived there for 2 yrs..
Cannot wait to see your coverage of Jonbenet!
A professional would not have to be so obvious but could shoot from an advantage point, unseen. This shooter could have been a hired gun. Food for thought.....
59:18 real time crime centre. So interesting. About cameras
Luv your podcast. DD from Florida.
Love the new intro
Great playing and song
But how did the shooter know the victim was staying at the Marriott? And not the Hilton where the event was
I have that same question.
I would guess he surveilled his target before he acted. It seems this was well planned out, he/she/they wouldn't want to make a mistake at the very end.

He probably has a support group..given the amount of disdain so many people have for the victim as well as the health-care system as a whole..The People's Action Institute being one.
Maybe not! Might be he lost a parent or friend due to claim disguarded by healthcare insurance!

What about the shares he sold?
That bike was not a city bike. It was an electric bike, but it did not belong to the city.
that bike is key..where did he get it?
Hello from FLORIDA
Good song😊
Do you think the fire arm indicates this individual lives on a farm or works in a vetranary clinic that services farms?
I saw a guy who owns those type of vet guns and he said it was NOT a vet gun
I heard in a report that the suspect wanted to learn how to code so he could create his own video games. Chris nailed the video game aspect!
Haha chris you called it the shooter caught getting a mcfluffy haha
1:26:27 it was a non law enforcement person who flagged Richard Allen. 🇨🇦
He is not a professional assassin, but he has evaded an army of law enforcement for nearly a week, so what does that say about law enforcement?

@Juke582 I think it says it doesn't take a professional to evade NY's finest, so it's a bit self defeating to write off the assassin as an amateur.
It says they’re waiting for DNA …So they have a Solid Case

Shooter is already out of the country ... Living offgrid in some island paradise 🤣🤣🤣
Or he just rolled into his brownstone garage and walked up the stairs.
Those children deserve justice regardless

They said he wrote a letter, which was on him at the time of his arrested, that might show a motive and his mindset of why he kills the CEO.
I feel simple is the answer....all low tech...is this a Malvo situation?
They have found a man of interest in Altoona, Pa at a McDonald’s!
I think they might follow him maybe he wants to be a hit man.
My condolences to his family and friends.
I think it’s going to be the government or a player in the stock market after him
