Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect's name for now to deny him any advantage.
“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."
Yeah yeah. I'll believe it when you prove it Adams. Sounds like you still have Jack shit to me.
That part cracks me up. As if the killer has no idea the police are after him.
It's worse.
It implies the killer has no idea who he is, so the police informing the name is different from just telling him they know his name.

If they had a name, they’d probably already have the person it belongs to in custody.
^^^ wrong
I mean, this tips the guy off as much as releasing the name unless they are bluffing.
Let's just call him L Simpson... no wait, that's too obvious. Lisa S.

If Adams held a press conference to say the sky was still blue, I'd promptly go out and check for myself.
Adams is a piece of shit Republican who has dropped any premise of ever being progressive. I look forward to the day he leaves his post.
Also, the guy is already a hero. The moment the public learns the guy's name, it's gonna become memorialized.

DONT SAY HIS NAME. WE HAVE TO PROTECT MR SHIT
I MEAN SMITH 👀👀👀
Lol, he's totally not going to get tipped off as long as you don't say his name. It's not like he's been like the only thing in the news in the last 3 days.

Sounds like a desperate tactic to get perpetrator to make mistakes (ie, tickets bought hastily to leave country). Sudden plans to leave the country or travel domestically are often flagged by the feds for follow up. The practice was supposedly put on hold [1] but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s used in situations like this.
In my opinion, police wouldn’t bother releasing this statement. If it was real, investigation would continue and the next statement/story would be “we have the person in custody”.
I call bullshit.
That’s one theory, but also, remember that Eric Adams is kind of a moron.
One of the few explanations that makes sense to me is that the cops have identified him but aren’t saying anything so as not to tip him off, and Adams decided to make the announcement anyway, because him being the one to break the news is good for his career. And then figured with impeccable moron logic that as long as he doesn’t use the guy’s name, the guy will be none the wiser.
Why is Adams still free?
What a piece of shit.
Cops haven't found shit. I saw a video of a guy putting mask on their face that when on actually make you look like that person. Apparently can buy them on Amazon. How do we know that isn't a mask? This guy was smart. He didn't leave behind nothing he didn't want the cops to find. Hell the so called bottle they found. If you wacth the video or him disposing of it. He placed it in just a way that was for sure to be found.
Also two theories on the backpack. Either he left it on purpose, or my thinking is the cops planted it to make it look like they are solving this thing.
I think who ever this was is a professional or he planned it right and they will not catch this person. Unfortunately they will pin this on someone, and that someone will be dead.
Even if and its a big if they catch this person, no way will they allow this man to be put on trial. Allow his defense lawyer play up that he killed that fucking CEO because someone he loved died because the fucks at United Healthcare denying their claim. And if they had gotten care would have lived.
The backpack had monopoly money in it.
He left it.
He's fucking leagues beyond getting caught.
Homie rolled up on an ebike with a gun loaded with bullets engraved with messages. Iced this fuckface, tossed a backpack full of monopoly money to throw off the trail and make a statement, and dipped.

So what you're saying is everybody who's financially capable right now should take a week off of work to go across the country or maybe even across country lines for absolutely no reason? Especially those of us living in and around the area of Manhattan?

how would releasing his name vs "we know who it is" give any amount of edge to the guy? do they really think this guy is dumb enough to be complacent? im sure he's doing 100% of his best effort to remain as lucky as possible and have the best chances of making it onto a container ship headed for cambodia or whatever.
They don't know, they're just trying to smoke him out.
Maybe he has an Internet or social media presence with persuasive and/or humanizing postings, and they want to deny him the PR bump he'd get from them becoming public.

You can't get sued when you're wrong with "we know who did it."
They don't know the Adjuster's secret identity. They're lying to distract from their own incompetence.
They have been dripping fake bullshit all week...
They aint got shit
Well maybe picked a random to ruin his life.

Suspect identified as having quite a dashing face.
one video talking about Paul Watson: “wanted for the crime of being a fucking legend”
They don't have shit lol
I heard his name was Simon Belmont. Here's an artist's sketch:
I'm partial to "The Adjuster."
No one pointing out that although this is Reuters, their source in the NY Post.
