Investigators continue to pore over clues linking killing suspect Luigi Mangione to the brutal assassination of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thomas last week.
A spiral-bound notebook with pages of Mangione’s writings offered new insight into the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate’s mind.
“It included to-do lists of tasks that needed to be completed to facilitate a killing, as well as notes justifying those plans,” law enforcement sources told CNN.
In one passage, Mangione wrote musings about what could be better than “to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference,” the report stated. The notebook also contained writings about Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, including a conclusion that using a bomb against an intended target “could kill innocents.”

Earlier Tuesday, Mangione’s attorney told reporters that he was “very pleased” with his first interactions with his client, who faces a slew of charges including second-degree murder.
“I wasn't looking for impressions,” James Dickey said. “What I was trying to do was form a bond with my client. I want him to trust me and I want him to be confident that I’m here for him. and I feel that I’m very pleased how that went.”
Mangione said at a hearing on Tuesday that he would fight extradition proceedings to New York.
