New York man charged with cyberstalking family of murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO

On Wednesday, Shane Daley, 40, of Galway, New York was taken into custody and charged with cyberstalking after federal prosecutors said that he was been sending threatening voicemails and harassing a member of Thompson's family. After the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, the calls allegedly from Daley were placed between December 4 and 7 last year, per the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York.

"Daley placed multiple calls to a work phone line used by a member of Thompson’s family. In a series of voicemail messages, Daley used threatening and harassing language that focused on, among other things, Thompson’s killing, expressed satisfaction over the fact and manner of his death, and stated that the victim and Thompson’s children deserved to meet the same violent end," the office said in a press release.

"Brian Thompson was gunned down in midtown Manhattan. Daley, as alleged, gleefully welcomed this tragedy and did all that he could to increase the Thompson family’s pain and suffering. My office and its partners will now do all that we can to hold him accountable for this vicious and outrageous conduct," Acting United States Attorney John A. Sarcone III said.

The charges against Daley carry a maximum of 5 years in prison as well as a fine of up to $250,000. Additionally, he may have supervised release up to three years. Daley was arraigned in Albany, New York on the charges.

Mangione has pleaded not guilty to the murder of Thompson and is awaiting trial. He was indicted on charges of stalking, murder, and firearms charges. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case.
