And this doesn't raise red flags? Why would someone IN HIDING keep basically everything on his person that would be quality evidence. Not even stuffed in a closet at his house, literally a manifesto in his pocket.
My own crazy conspiracy: he actually did it and got away with it, he was found using facial recognition software and not by a tip from a McD employee (no reward ever paid out). Someone planted all the incriminating evidence on his person. Why keep a partially 3D printed gun that's already untraceable. You can even melt down the plastic parts.
McDonald's has security cameras, has anyone seen footage of him at one in Pennsylvania on that date/time? (real question bc I haven't, but maybe it exists?) I used to think they just found someone who looks like the infamous 140p image, but Luigi had a lot of other social media posts, affiliations, etc that make me hesitant to believe it's a totally different guy.
If the manifesto was something he wrote, it could be that he expected / wanted to be caught. If you're not evading capture, you might not be destroying evidence. That's the simpler explanation that doesn't require a huge conspiracy.
Imo could be he was expecting to get caught hours after it happened but the cops were so slow he got a few states over and didn't really know what to do cuz he wasn't expecting to get that far.
