Second person may have had access to Stephen Paddock’s suite, known about Vegas mass shooting plan
NY Daily News ^ | Oct. 06, 2017 | Larry Mcshane

Investigators acknowledge at least one other person could have known about Stephen Paddock’s plan to execute dozens of country music concertgoers in Las Vegas.

Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McCahill, after declaring law enforcement had already chased more than 1,000 leads, said Friday they remained unsure if someone had advance word of the carnage.

“I can tell you this: We are very confident that there was not another shooter in the room,” McCahill said. “What I cannot confirm to you, and what we continue to investigate, is whether anybody else might have known about this incident before he carried it out.”

There remained one indicator a second person may have been inside the 32nd floor hotel suite at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino: a phone charger that failed to match any of Paddock’s devices, NBC News reported. A review of “voluminous amounts” of video from Mandalay Bay security cameras did not resolve the question about prior knowledge regarding the methodical plan that became the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

McCahill said the investigation was not entirely in vain — but it still failed to answer the biggest question: Why?

McCahill refuted a report that a hotel key card was used to enter Paddock’s room at a time when the millionaire gambler’s car was gone from the hotel garage.

NBC reported that Paddock’s 2015 tax return showed $5 million in income, most of it from gambling profits.

This is one of the most interesting bits of information so far. He makes $5 million dollars a year gambling and reports it on his federal income tax. Spending that much time in casinos must have produced hours and hours of video from 24/7 surveillance cameras located in every gaming house.

I stay in a lot of different hotels and motels in my travels for work.

I've been told that the number one item that people accidentally leave in the rooms is phone chargers. One lady told me that it seems that men are the most prone to forgetting phone chargers.

Just sayin' that that charger could have been left by the previous guest.

Erma Gawd. Cool your jets. It’s less than a week. Could you just let the investigation go on.

The public are not investigators. Let those trained do their job...
...
Yeah, especially the highly competent, squeaky clean FBI.

ISIS would be bad for the gaming industry, so it’s best they run with the crazy White guy theory.

"We are very confident that there was not another shooter in the room,”

Kay, but was there ANOTHER PERSON in the room..?

Yes, there was. And it was a male.

And he left RIGHT before the shooting started.

I trust this investigation about as much as I trust Mueller’s.

Yeah, release the video footage and take the chance of compromising the investigation.

Are you saying never release the video, or just not right now.

"Rolling the dice for 72 virgins? " Well, I put on my Black Helicopter helmet and came up with this; what if.... PADDOCK is an ISIS Manchuriian Candidate? And what if.... his girl friend is his handler? Gotta admit, this guys past so far is pretty much a blank slate. And, lots of people are commenting how the Feds are so very quiet. Anybody wanna ride in my black helicopter with me 🙄?

Just not right now. It’ll eventually be released when it’s no longer of investigative value.

I’m also convinced they was another person that bailed.

The number of weapons and ammo he brought to the hotel.

Two windows being busted out.

Not sold on the Room service receipt, but it is what it is.

Over the four or more days he was at the hotel there will be tons of video evidence logging his movements.

In my wildest conspiratorial thoughts.

He was being worked by the Feds in a sting operation and they lost control of the situation. They wanted to bust a Rich White American Gun Nut as a domestic terrorist.

“The sooner they release all the video, the sooner we can scream, “Doctored footage! Conspiracy! Give us the real video! We know there was a Koran in his room somewhere! ISIS! AntiFa!”

Buzzkiller. Somebody always gives away the end of the movie..

There are so many who-done-it shows that we are made to feel as though we are all sleuths.

We ARE all sleuths, whether those shows existed or not.

It’s called human nature.
