Brian Thompson's killer left a message and did it in a special way: By carving three words into the bullet casings: deny, defend, depose.

New York police are continuing their search for the suspect in the murder of the head of the American insurance company "UnitedHealthcare." Britan Thompson was shot in the back and leg yesterday near a Midtown Manhattan hotel.

In an interview with MSNBC, Thompson's wife said there had been "some threats" against him earlier, although she was unable to provide details.

"I just know that he said there were some people who had threatened him," she said.
