How do people even find out this stuff? Is there a reddit post saying I FOUND HIS SWEATER or something? Same with the backpack.

Even here there were people that were talking about the exact backpacks details. If you own the same thing you'll recognize it.

People were talking about the backpack a lot on the onebag subreddit.

Then CEO managed to destroy his company's reputation by personally calling the tip line and offering to link the serial number to the person who ordered it.

How did people find out he did that did he publicly announce it? If you did that's one dumb CEO

He made a statment to the new york times about it https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/nyregion/peak-design-backpack-brian-thompson-shooting.html
