The phone number used to reserve the Airbnb homes is registered to Marilou Danely. Marilou left for Hong Kong on September 25. ALL the airbnb registrations occurred prior to her leaving.
What’s my point? Well, I’ve used Airbnb, as many of you have. When I registered my stay, the homeowner contacted me several times giving me little bits of useful info about the place, confirmed I would be coming, etc. I’m guessing this is pretty standard for people renting out their home to a stranger. So, there’s a really good chance that one of these homeowners called that number. This means that Marilou almost certainly knew about these reservations. One potential hole in this is if Paddock actually had control of the phone, even though it’s registered under Marilou Danely.
Or a simple explanation would be they had planned on going to the Airbnb homes but then he found cheap tickets to send her home, they cancelled this extra vacation expense.
