TikTok users who would normally leap at the chance to identify an alleged criminal are standing down during the manhunt for the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Summary

Internet sleuths, who often assist in high-profile investigations, are notably silent on the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Popular figures like TizzyEnt and Savannah Sparks cited disinterest, with some expressing disdain for the U.S. healthcare system, which has faced heightened criticism amid record-low public satisfaction.

Many online users appear apathetic, failing to empathize with the wealthy victim.

The lack of engagement contrasts with past cases like Gabby Petito’s, where online communities played key roles. Meanwhile, the NYPD continues its investigation, releasing surveillance footage and offering a $10,000 reward for tips.

    I hate to say this but

    Probably the cops will find someone who looks enough like him, who also is unknown enough they can find / eliminate/ bribe everyone who knows him , then they’ll kill that guy and spin any story they want in the media (who ofc they own or collude with too)
