The New York Post is a shitty source but it's what google gave me.

      Honestly they have absolutely nothing. I hope he is at home and happily returning to his life.

        Even if they have his name, this is still probably the best move.

        Trying to leave the country just gives cops more authority to gun him and a few bystanders down.

        If he's just at home chilling like nothing happened then all they can do is charge him with murder and send it through the legal system. Then they pretty much need the CEO solution device or like a manifesto or they'll have a real hard time getting a jury to find him guilty.

          If he's chilling at home and they know who he is, they would do a midnight raid and say they 'feared for their life' and gun him down. It's hard to fathom them arresting him peacefully unless he turned himself in accompanied by a livestreaming news crew.

        Totally, but I'm just going off that he got on a bus so I'm wondering if it was a direct ride to the border or did he go to an airport in another state?

          I'm actually curious how a non-rich person could escape to Indonesia without using their passport and without too many people knowing and for the escapee facing too many risks.

          [Edit For the sake of clarity - I don't think the CEO killer is doing it this way.]

          I think a rich person could do it pretty easily. For example...

          • Sneak into Canada.

          • Sneak over to the Canadian west coast.

          • Use private planes to skip across the Pacific and entirely avoid passport control in this or that country. A rich person on "vacation" surely doesn't have to deal with that crap and nobody checks too closely if the right contacts are used.

          • Eventually hop into Indonesia by landing at a rich person's airport and again avoiding passport control.

            If you've got a strong passport and a white face you can get away with a lot. I've been waved through customs too many times.

            maybe not a billionaire or something, but there's no way the shooter is passing for that. at best they get the customs agent sent out to the private plane to handle passport control there before being allowed to debark. countries still do passport control for private planes.

              I didn't say he was.

              countries still do passport control for private planes.

              My hunch is that you're wrong. If somebody flies a $20 million swanky private jet into the right airport (or airfield) and they don't want to deal with "hassles" they don't have to.

              ---

              I googled.

              How Private Jets Allow Fliers Around the World to Skirt Immigration

              A British whistleblower revealed what the industry already knew: Fly private and anything goes.

              [...]

              79 percent of private flights, like those to LCY in 2023, faced no passport scrutiny whatsoever, according to the supposedly defective records Neal flagged.

              This is not a hill I'm willing to die on. A single article that agrees with me is proof of nothing. But I really believe if somebody is rich enough (or even seems so) they get to avoid all sorts of regulations, rules, and even laws.

            It doesn't matter if he used his passport as long as he's on the plane before they figured out his name be he's safe.

              if you killed a prole maybe but they would absolutely force the plane to land in US jurisdiction for a CEO killer.

      He'd be better off going to the Canadian Border. Closer, wider, less policed, and just as much of an extradition treaty with Amerikkka as Mexico, but he could disappear into the wilderness until shit dies down like how a bunch of Soviet Leaders lived during their exiles into Siberia. Grow a beard to be extra unrecognizable and socialize with anyone living out there in small towns for mental health and work/supplies.
