Another oddity, from the Orlando Sentinel-—
“In an odd twist, Stephen and Eric Paddock’s father, a bank robber, was once on the FBI’s most-wanted list, Eric Paddock said.
Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, who also went by Patrick Benjamin Paddock, was a former garbage-disposal salesman and serviceman, the Arizona Republic reported in 1960. He was arrested in Las Vegas that year and tried to run an FBI agent over with his car before he was captured.
He was placed on the most-wanted list after escaping from a federal prison in La Tuna, Texas, on Dec. 31, 1968, having served eight years of a 20-year sentence. The FBI at the time described Hoskins Paddock as a frequent gambler and avid bridge player. He had a wife and four children in Arizona, officials said in 1969.”
Hoskins Paddock was removed from the most-wanted list in 1977 and captured in Springfield, Ore., in 1978. He had opened a bingo parlor for a nonprofit organization in Eugene, Ore., during his time on the lam. He died in 1998.” (end of article)
My earliest search for Stephen C. Paddock turned up a guy in orange prison jumpsuit with an AZ label.
It has since been scrubbed.
