Law enforcement analyst on CNN says it was to "stir the pot," get more attention and exposure, and hope someone makes that call that breaks it open.

Watching the video on Hannity he's not limping after he jumps off the building. He's gathering and dragging the backpack and then runs and starts brisk walking.

The limping video was before the shooting with him walking toward the event with the rifle down his pants

He looked comfortable jumping off a building.

Guy is so skinny he probably hit the ground with the force of a light slap.

They have been saying they found gun wrapped in a towel in a wooded area - I'm thinking it's Utah so some woods in the mountains far away - but no the wooded area appears to be landscapied flower beds with a few trees right on campus.

Belay my last. I JUST watched the footage of the shooter DROPPING to the ground from the roof. It could absolutely be him 'limping ' away from that....

A former FBI guy on Laura Ingram program said his 'limp' BEFORE he reached the campus was him concealing the long gun from view.

I hear you…

I see a guy running just fine across the roof…he jumps…he clearly gets hurt…and he limp-runs from the building…it is clearly his right leg that is injured on the jump…
thinking that maybe the videos are off?

I wonder if they got the stills from when he planted the gun previously on the roof.

Yes, they do, his exact height, shoe size, and approximate weigh which can all be deduced from the pics and videos, but they aren't going to say it and starting chasing 1000s of BS leads of guys working all over the metro SLC area.

It's ALOT more targeted and specific and scientific than many in here realize or understand. But it is not instantaneous.

They have prints, pictures, video, weapon, and a 100j bounty. Hell, i would even fold on a murdering family member if i got 100k

He had to have because they found it in a wooded area.

Remember what people were saying with the Idaho press conferences. Things were much better behind the scenes than those press conferences indicated.

There is no clear footage I saw of him limping AFTER the shooting. The limping is before the shooting.

Yep… it's easy to forget when you're in the minority that's plugged in like this that a huge chunk of the country watches the news maybe once a day, if that. So repeated exposure is important.

You have video of him getting down, let's see the video of how he got up there...

Interesting... why do you think more details would lead to false leads?

CNN says FBI making significant progress in this case today.

I agree.
One day at a time.

So many people on F16 were sure Mangione was a professional hitman that would never be caught as well.

Well if that's the rifle they have his prints as well as his picture. Likely DNA, plus whatever they can trace from the rifle sales, ammo, scope, etc.

That was underwhelming/disappointing.

Something that just dawned on me. I would bet the farm this guy idolized Luigi Mangioni.

They wouldn't have solved the case if the killer hadn't made a major ****up and left a sheath with tons of his DNA on it.

We can only hope this guy made that big of a mistake.

A couple double mic clicks after too, which is basically "Roger" or "affirmative" from other pilots on frequency

Perhaps, but I'm just wondering why he would jump down instead of getting down just like he got up...when did he get up there...seems pertinent to determine if he had any accomplices

Seems like that's how they caught that guy in 1865...

How much DNA transfer would you expect on the eyepiece of a rifle scope? Eyelash would be nice.

That's like betting the sun will rise or that Kamala will sound like a buffoon.

What appears like a limp right after he hits the ground is him gathering and collecting and dragging the backpack. If you keep watching that video he's running without a limp up that little grassy hill and then starts a fast walk to get to the street

They almost certainly have that backpack, towel, rifle, hat, and shoes ID'd by now. Plus the unreported forensic data they have. Venn diagram starts to get really small.

There's the potential for DNA evidence just from him holding/sweating on the rifle from skin cells

He needed to boogie. Only slowed to a walk when he saw that car in parking lot.
