    I was shocked to see the face of the customer who reported Luigi to the employee in a BBC article this morning. Seems…unwise.

      It was not a customer that reported him. It was an employee. Your misinformation is probably not appreciated by the person you’re pretending to be concerned about.

          My understanding is that initial reports just stated that he was reported inside a McDonald’s, and lots of people and articles assumed it was a customer. But every recent article I’ve seen states it was an employee. At this point it could be either one, but from what I can see, I think it was an employee.

        Um akshually it was a customer that reported them to an employee, who then reported them to the cops.

          Why the hell would anyone report a killer to a McDonald’s Employee?

          There is a video of the customer talking about it. He said that they were just jokingly talking with some friends about how that dude looked like the CEO killer. But not him not any of his friends called the police or had intention too.

          The rat was the mcDonald employee, who, after hearing this called the police to get the reward.

          Not sure if they took it down or what, but theres no images of the customer, and the video that presumably shows them wont play or load on my phone. You got a screenshot? Also didnt see a hometown listed unless they grew up in that town

            I don’t want to get banned for sharing the face of the guy who ratted out our hero.

            The video works for me.

                Yeah, but I’m not just sharing a face. I’m sharing a legit news article. Anyway, thanks for your work making sure it stays up.

                By watching the whole video and reading the linked article, you learned that the man you’re screenshotting and mirroring isn’t the person you think he is, right?

          The video and article state that this individual was in the restaurant at the same time as Luigi. It’s not suggesting that he’s the rat.

          I’d be keeping my head down if I was him.

          You say this, but you’re posting articles with a video of him, falsely stating that he’s the one the made the report, when if you watch the video it’s pretty clear he was not. You really should edit this comment and your parent one if you are concerned about this completely innocent person’s well-being.

      The customer did not do it. They just were talking about how that dude looked like the CEO killer but didn’t rat to the police.

      It was an employee who, after hearing them talking, called 911.
