Idaho killer, UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect may both have visual snow syndrome, a rare disorderTwo individuals at the center of recent high-profile murder cases may have the same rare and concerning health condition. Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to the murder of four University of Idaho students, and Luigi Mangione, accused of stalking and ambushing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, apparently have the same neurological condition known as visual snow syndrome. The rare disorder impairs vision, as if the person is looking through snow or static on an old television. Both Kohberger and Mangione have posted publicly about their condition, according...

I didn’t expect the highlight of my Tuesday night would be watching an actor portraying Luigi Mangione sing a ballad about hash browns, followed by a tap dance number featuring his cellmates Sean Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried (who happen to be falling in love). The plot is totally outrageous, but as “Luigi: the Musical” goes on, it becomes cathartic to sit in the warm haze of the Independent with over a hundred strangers and laugh, groan and marvel at the spectacle American life has become.
