ABC News - UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting latest: Suspect's backpack had Monopoly money: Sources

The manhunt for CEO Brian Thompson's killer is now on its fourth day.

The backpack recovered by the NYPD that allegedly belonged to the suspect wanted in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, only had two items inside: a jacket and Monopoly money, sources with knowledge of the ongoing investigation told ABC News Saturday.

Investigators continued to comb through the city for evidence and clues for a fourth day to try and catch the unidentified fugitive. That included the use of police divers.

Officers searched a pond near Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, not too far from where the suspect's backpack was found Friday night.

Police have not yet recovered the distinctive gun used in the shooting.

It is unclear if officers recovered any evidence from the water.
