If the manifesto was something he wrote, it could be that he expected / wanted to be caught. If you’re not evading capture, you might not be destroying evidence. That’s the simpler explanation that doesn’t require a huge conspiracy.
Imo could be he was expecting to get caught hours after it happened but the cops were so slow he got a few states over and didn’t really know what to do cuz he wasn’t expecting to get that far.
I felt like he was evading capture though. He didn’t have to cover his face to shoot the guy. He could have bought any gun that would be less likely to jam.
More likely, it’s a guy who was fed up and shot someone over it, planted evidence or not. That’s just me going full tin foil hat.
He was evading capture to some extent, but he barely tried to alter his appearance, even when his picture was being widely circulated. Maybe he thought his capture was inevitable, so it wasn’t worth the effort. Maybe he wanted to be caught, but didn’t want it to be easy. Probably he had doubts.
Maybe he planned on surrendering immediately, then he saw that he was getting away with it so he changed his mind, then he thought with the huge manhunt it was just a matter of time so there was no point in trying too hard to run, then he saw how much support he was getting so he changed his mind again.
To me, that’s all a lot more believable than some elaborate plot to frame him, because of how many people would have to be in on that secret and be able to keep it for a long time.
