The McDonald’s employee has hit the spotlight after allegedly snitching on Luigi Mangione’s location to the officials. However, the action has come with a price: Nancy Parker has been apparently fired from her job and denied reward money.
Nancy Parker was working a shift at the fast-food chain when she reported a customer who looked like a person of interest in the United Healthcare CEO’s extermination.

Further, she immediately called 911 and the NYPD. The officials arrived at the scene and charged Mangione with 5 charges of possession of an illegal firearm and fake identities.
However, after the official release of Mangione’s mugshots and his motive for the action, many users swooned over his physical appearance. Netizens supported the suspect Luigi and his actions based on his excellent education history.
Soon, they began searching for Parker’s information online, which the authorities had concealed for legal reasons. Many joked that people had found Parker sooner than the police had located Mangione.
The suspect’s supporter found Parker’s since-deleted Facebook accounts and posts. She mentioned that she was a good citizen being targeted for reporting the criminal to the authorities.
So Nancy Parker not only supposedly got fired, but she also isn't getting the money because she called the police, not the tip line. LMFAOOO. pic.twitter.com/auPmZbwk62

Similarly, hours into the arrest, Parker’s grandson wrote, “I’m exhausted of the sh*t on social media threatening her and the rest of my family for rightfully reporting the killer of the United Healthcare CEO!“
Due to the excessive use of Parker’s profile picture, her family members removed her Facebook profile and concealed details about her job.
Nancy Parker might not receive the $60k reward for calling the wrong officials to the scene!
Many accused Parker of acting selfishly, as the officials had placed a hefty reward for the suspect’s locator. While Mangione spends time in custody, his supporters have requested public bail.
However, the court has not yet convicted the suspect, and he hasn’t submitted a plea. What’s more, Parker might not be rewarded for the work that has her concealing her identity online.
Additionally, officials detail the troubles in providing the real money in a public statement. They claimed Parker had wrongly contacted the NYPD instead of the Crime Stoppers hotline.
Moreover, Parker had to call the FBI, as they had jurisdiction over Mangione’s case. According to their rules, tipsters can’t nominate themselves to collect the reward.
Rumors arose on social platforms that Parker wasn’t receiving the reward for calling the police during office hours. However, neither McDonald’s nor the officials have responded to such claims.
Regardless, Parker continues to get hateful comments online and at her Altoona address. Officials have urged people to control their emotions, emphasizing that doxxing is a crime.
In addition to the backlash against their employees, Altoona McDonald’s received many low ratings. Users left concerning comments on the restaurant’s page, which weren’t entirely based on real experience.

Some comments included, “Saw rats scurrying about in the kitchen here!! Stay away!” Google has since removed the reviews as the response violated the company’s policies.
Similarly, people speculated that the institution had fired Nancy Parker. Her actions have tarnished the restaurant’s reputation, but the authorities have not officially confirmed it.
Additional Information
- Theories claim that Nancy Parker worked closely with the officials as Luigi Mangione was 4.5km from the crime scene, which didn’t make sense to many. However, Parker was coincidentally at the location and reported the suspect.
- Nancy Parker has remained away from news outlets and social media, following her family’s advice to protect herself and her family from extensive hate.
