Disney's ABC News Studios has announced a brand new primetime documentary special, "Manhunt: Luigi Mangione and the CEO Murder - A Special Edition of 20/20".

The one-hour film takes a deep dive into a story that riveted the nation, providing a minute-by-minute investigation of the cold-blooded execution of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the shocking social media backlash that turned the alleged murderer into a folk hero for some. In an exclusive audio recording of his voice, Luigi Mangione will be heard clearly on national television as he speaks about his travels through Asia.

The special also reveals new details about the hunt for the suspect, examines what may have driven alleged killer Luigi Mangione to murder, and profiles new reporting on the writings found in Mangione's backpack, what police are calling a handwritten confession criticizing the healthcare system, and the three ominous words written on the shell casings.

The special includes interviews with a friend of the suspect; Brad Garrett, a former FBI profiler and ABC News contributor; Aaron Katersky, ABC News senior investigative correspondent; Brian Buckmire, ABC News legal contributor and defense attorney; Josh Margolin, ABC News chief investigative reporter; and Josh Einiger, WABC Eyewitness News reporter.

"Manhunt: Luigi Mangione and the CEO Murder - A Special Edition of 20/20" is produced by ABC News Studios. Muriel Pearson serves as executive producer, and David Sloan is senior executive producer. Janice Johnston is the executive producer of "20/20."
