In the Luigi manhunt, the NYPD dug through surveillance footage from thousands of cameras. That eventually produced the photos, which led to the tip. There's no such camera network in Orem, Utah.

As someone who once lived next door in Provo, I concur. Orem is not that big of a city.

Uhh, we've been going door-to-door asking for doorbell vid...huh...we can ask Bezos's company Ring and they'll just give it to us? Well, there you have it. We're actively gathering leads as you can see.

This is what made the 5-day manhunt seem so extraordinary… it happened in one of the most heavily-surveilled places in America. This? This is some doorbell cameras and a couple of shots off of smartphones.

It's a major college campus and surrounding well to do neighborhoods. There's plenty of cameras, not Manhattan plenty, but still a lot

Ring doorbells and retail space... I doubt there are many outdoor public cameras. SLC pop 215k in 110 sq miles is applying to install 14 more cameras. I don’t know how many are installed now, but it’s probably not hundreds. Or this would not be “news.” kutv.com/news/local/s...

Based on the pictures we’ve seen, and his apparent knowledge of the school layout, I would guess he’s a student or local and someone has given them a likely id that they haven’t released yet. But I’m also very stupid.

That's actually a good thing, generally. Folks should be able to move about society without being followed and tracked by 1000s of AIballs. We should be able to just disappear when we want to. I understand it's not helpful in this particular instance. Gun control would be, though.

The salt lake valley is pretty built up. Not as built up as NYC. I agree that there are probably large enough gaps between these surveillance cameras for him to squeak by. Unfortunately

In fairness there are more people in NYC than there are in all of Utah(which has a larger area than the state of New York). So yeah, NYC has a lot more cameras in a much smaller area.

They don’t have a suspect because of any work the FBI or other law enforcement have done. The kid confessed & the family minister reported it. They’d still be floundering otherwise.

The best story I’ve seen so far is speculation he went straight to a nearby airport where a private jet was waiting that whisked him to safety.
