Luigi Mangione’s social media flooded with flirty texts and followers after his arrest in Brian Thompson’s murder

After his arrest the family released a joint statement via his cousin who is a Maryland state delegate expressing their shock over the incident and said, “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Nino Mangione said in a written statement which was signed with The Mangione Family according to CNN. “We offer prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.”

For half a year, Luigi Mangione dropped off the grid, leaving friends and family worried and searching for answers, he was nowhere to be found. This sudden silence is now a crucial focus for investigators, trying to join the pieces as he remains silent during the investigation. The authorities discovered Mangione with a fake ID, a weapon with a silencer resembling the one used in the CEO's murder, and a written manifesto criticising the healthcare industry.

Until his disappearance, Mangione had regular contact with loved ones. In July, a friend posted on social media, expressing concern about the lack of communication for months.
