    I think he probably is the right guy but he was smart enough to cover his tracks and they only found him because of some kind of illegal surveillance we don’t know about. Would explain why they’re so desperate for anything else to explain how they know it was him.

      My issue with that is that if he were caught via illegal surveillance so soon after the fact, it seems strange that they wouldn’t have caught him during the planning/prep stages using said surveillance.

      He clearly didn’t want to get away if he kept the evidence. You can just throw it in the trash at a random place

        That’s what gives doubt about Luigi being the guy. Everything up to that point was careful, it could be he saw the public response and wanted to make himself known? Maybe under the stress he decided it would be better to get arrested and try to beat the charges rather than be in hiding forever. It doesn’t add up to me. They found a backpack matching the surveillance footage with monopoly money in it. He probably dumped the gun at the same time.

        If I’m not mistaken it’s being reported that PA police didn’t find the gun he had until hours later, after they met with NYPD. NY could have had the actual gun, and planted it so it would match the ballistic evidence.
