Picked the guy up in Altoona PA

May be a very public fishing expedition

Why the big deal for this murder? There are murders all over. Do we only get news for rich people getting killed?

While the fact that the victim was rich may have something to do with a big deal being made out of it, it is really all the circumstances surrounding it that make it unusual and therefore noteworthy. It’s not at all the type of murder that happens all the time.

"Brought in for questioning"? Is that voluntary? Could someone say they don't want to go?

IANAL...I think police are supposed to have some reason to bring you in, but I think they can generally figure out some reason if they want to speak with you.

Of course, that doesn't mean you have to actually say anything (and you shouldn't without a lawyer present).

I think in general the reality will turn out to be much more mundane than some imaginations here. Chances are he’s not a pro. He’s not well resourced. He didn’t plan 20 steps ahead. He didn’t leave the country. He’s not making sophisticated moves like body doubles or planting fake DNA. He’s someone with a motive, opportunity, familiarity with guns and a screw loose. He arrived by bus - he left by bus. He’s hiding out somewhere he’s familiar with.

He's arrested in Altoona PA less than 2 hours from his college town. Recognized at a McDonald's. Still carrying the fake ID he used to check into the hostel and carrying the murder weapon.

Not a pro. Pretty mundane. Not well planned.
 
I wonder if he had a plan to throw the Monopoly money on the CEO after he killed him but got too nervous in the moment and just ran

Says the guy who has posted at least eighteen times on this and the related health insurance thread.. I quit counting after three pages of post history.
Why is it such a big deal to you?

This was prescient. Unfortunately, also boring. Alas, life doesn't always give us the entertainment we want.
 
Apparently, he was carrying a handwritten manifesto criticizing health care companies.
