    If we’re giving notes being caught with the gun and the manifesto also bad. And then going to sit down and eat at a McDonald’s while on the run. And wearing a mask in Altoona where he probably could have just walked in with his face showing an not gotten caught because the surveillance photos from the NYPD looked so different. And then giving a police officer a fake ID which gave them probable cause for everything…yeah police are going to catch the fake ID…

    He’s obviously not a professional hitman. I wonder if NYPD/Feds would have been able to track him down eventually anyway with the evidence left in New York.
