Part 4/7:
As authorities continue to investigate the connection between Mangione and Thompson’s murder, New York police were seen in Altoona, prepared to question Mangione further. His extradition to New York hinges on whether he will waive his rights, a decision likely to be made within the next 24 hours. If he chooses not to waive these rights, the extradition process could extend over several days, especially considering the legal formalities that must be observed.
Authorities have indicated that they expect to file homicide charges against Mangione, reinforcing the pressing nature of this investigation. Scheduled court appearances and mandatory hearings are expected to unfold, with the next major court date set for December 23rd in Pennsylvania.
