The Florida woman who was arrested for allegedly threatening a health insurer using the same words found on the bullets used to kill the CEO of UnitedHealthcare is a veteran of the healthcare industry.
Briana Boston, 42, accused of making a threatening call to BlueCross BlueShield about a rejected medical claim, works as a nuclear medicine technologist and has spent a decade in the field, according to her LinkedIn profile.
He currently holds the position at Bond Clinic, PA, in Winter Haven, Florida, not far from his home in Lakeland, where police officers responded Tuesday after receiving a tip from the FBI.
Towards the end of his call with BlueCross BlueShield, he told the operator: ‘Delay, deny, declare. You are next,” his arrest report said.
The words were found on bullet casings at the scene of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, of which Luigi Mangione, 26, is the prime suspect.
Boston admitted to police that he used the words “because that’s what’s on the news right now,” according to the arrest report.
She told investigators that “health care companies were gambling and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.”
She stated that she did not own a gun nor was she “a danger to anyone,” the report added.
