EXCLUSIVE: Pittsburgh Police skeptical Luigi Mangione traveled to city before Altoona arrest

Did alleged UnitedHealthcare killer Luigi Mangione travel to Pittsburgh before his Dec. 9 arrest in Altoona? Local law enforcement isn’t so sure.

“It appears – unless some new information comes to light – that he did not make it here at all,” said Pittsburgh Police public information officer Cara Cruz.

During a Dec. 9 evening press conference at the Blair County Courthouse, held shortly after Mangione’s arraignment, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro asserted that the alleged killer had traveled to Pittsburgh before his arrest earlier that morning at an Altoona-area McDonald’s.

“You should know that this suspect traveled between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, making stops in between,” said Shapiro. 

But that assertion, at least publicly, remains uncorroborated.

“Pennsylvania State Police continues to seek the public’s help in gathering information on Luigi Mangione’s travel and recent whereabouts in Pennsylvania,” said PA State police spokesperson Myles Snyder.

Highmark and UPMC have scrubbed their websites of executive leadership photos since the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“We believe that keeping the best interests of our patients and members at the center of every decision we make is the best strategy for engendering the good will of those we serve,” said a Highmark spokesperson. (UPMC did not respond to requests for comment.)
