Luigi Mangione's notes to self during arrest shown in court

A to-do list and travel plans found during Luigi Mangione’s arrest were revealed in court this week.

The material has shed new light on the steps Mangione may have taken — or planned to take — to avoid capture after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing last year.

“Keep momentum, FBI slower overnight,” said one note. “Change hat, shoes, pluck eyebrows,” said another.

The notes, including a hand-drawn map and tactics for surviving while on the run from police, were shown at a pretrial hearing on Monday.

The evidence was presented as part of Mangione’s bid to prevent prosecutors from using evidence seized during his December 9, 2024, arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Excerpts of body-worn camera footage of the arrest, previously unseen by the press or the public, were released on Tuesday.

Police said they discovered the notes in Mangione’s backpack, along with a 9mm handgun that prosecutors said matches the one used to kill Thompson five days earlier; a loaded gun magazine and silencer; and a notebook in similar handwriting, which he allegedly described his intent to “wack” a health insurance executive.

Mangione’s lawyers haven’t disputed the authenticity of the notes or the provenance of the gun, pocket knife, fake ID, driver’s license, passport, credit cards, AirPods, protein bar, travel toothpaste, flash drives, and other items taken from him and his backpack.

But they argue that anything found in the bag should be barred because police didn’t have a search warrant and lacked the grounds to justify a warrantless search.

Prosecutors contend the search was legal — officers said they were checking for a bomb — and that police eventually obtained a warrant.

Thompson, 50, was killed as he walked to a Manhattan hotel for his company’s investor conference on December 4, 2024.

Surveillance video showed a masked gunman shooting him from behind and then fleeing the area.

Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges.

The pretrial hearing, which resumes for a sixth day on Thursday, applies only to the state case. His lawyers are making a similar push to exclude the evidence from his federal case, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
