…“I lived next door to him and his girlfriend and never once got as much as a smile out of him.
“They had barely any furniture in the house and nothing in the yard, the shades were always down and it was like they were not even living there.
Another neighbour from the same exclusive retirement community in Reno, who did not want to be named, said: “I saw the safe and it was literally the size of a refrigerator.
“We would all wonder what on earth he kept in there, but nobody could ever ask as he was not the kind of man who engaged with anyone.
“Occasionally he would work out early in the morning at the community gym, but never ever does anyone here remember him having a friendly word to say to anyone.”
Mrs Page also revealed how Paddock, 64, fled town after buying a new silver minivan at the start of August.
And just two weeks later she said she watched as girlfriend Marilou Danley packed her things into her car before also leaving.
Mrs Page added: “I remember at the start of August looking out of my window and seeing Stephen pull up in a brand new huge silver minivan.
“But just a few days later he left the house in it and was never seen again.
“I thought the whole situation was even weirder when two weeks later I then look out of my window again to see Marilou stuffing her car full of all her belongings.
“Over the course of three or four days it was like she was moving her entire life out of the house.
“She packed so much stuff not only was her car full, but it was also tied to the top of her car.
“After a few days of packing she too pulled out of the driveway and was never seen again.
“It was all very strange.”
The “safe the size of a refrigerator” sounds like a typical gun safe.
Huge minivan?
Neither spent much time in Reno.
I find this unremarkable. Even the “safe as big as a refrigerator”.
Almost all gun safe’s are that big, and I have one in my garage.
Click bait, as almost everything published by this blog.
Every neighborhood has a Mrs. Kravitz and Suzy is theirs. I’d pack up and move if she were my neighbor. What a busybody. Snort, and she wonders why he didn’t want to talk with her.
Oooh, scary safe! Oooh, a huge minivan! Oooh, Marilou moved all her stuff out! How did Mrs. Kravitz know it was only her stuff? Was she opening suitcases and sniffing her undies? Oooh, the shades were down! Really, Mrs. Kravitz? Maybe they closed the shades so the sun wouldn’t shine in and to keep you from snooping. Just how did you know there was not much furniture, huh? Maybe he went to the gym early to stay out of your way. Oooh, he fled town! He fled town or was he merely staying in another of his houses or was gambling in casinos as he normally did?
Geez, Suzy is a piece of work. My entire neighborhood is rarely here. They have other houses. Their shades are drawn. When they come in, they unload a bunch and load up a bunch when they leave. They don’t talk to me and I don’t talk to them. I can’t be bothered to peek through their windows to see what’s inside their homes. No, Suzy, it’s not at all strange.
Hhmmm...
Iwonder if they found the big safe in his house.
