Full title.....................Who is Stephen Paddock? Multimillionaire Las Vegas shooter, 64, was a hunting enthusiast, licensed pilot and gambler with no criminal record who owned a $400,000 home in Nevada retirement community........................The man suspected of opening fire at concertgoers attending a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night was a local resident with no prior criminal convictions in the state of Nevada.
Stephen Paddock, 64, lived just 90 minutes outside Las Vegas in the city of Mesquite, where he purchased a home in a retirement community for just over $369,000 in 2015 according to public records.
He lived there with his 62-year-old girlfriend Marilou Danley, the same woman police announced they were seeking to question on Sunday night as they began their investigation into the horrific terror attack.
Paddock had both hunting and fishing licenses according to public records, as well as his pilot's license, but no criminal record in the state of Nevada.
The retired accountant had worked as an internal auditor at Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, and was a manager and investor in apartment complexes located in Mesquite, Texas and California which made him millions according to his brother.

I personally know a guy who lost $8,000,000 at a casino over a three year period.
Or maybe he just had hunting licenses. I’ve had hunting licenses without being a hunter, much less an avid hunter.
Yes sir!
Thanks for the correction!
I agree MiddleA, the first thing I wondered was whether he was, in fact, alone in the hotel room.
Indonesian norm. Australian married. Supposedly came to US twenty yrs ago? Illegal? Muslim? Has a niece in Dubai. Claimed to be a high limit casino girl...is that another way of saying prostitute
Really? Even the most mentally deranged people I’ve seen tend to put a fist through a window or beat the hell out of someone
Something snapped in this guy's brain, or he was cross wired by some sort of heavy psych meds.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
“Maybe, just maybe.........”
The video of an anti-Trump rally includes a frame of a guy (wearing a pussy-hat) and a woman that do look like the couple. Not conclusive, but suggestive. We really need more, IMO.
They have all sorts of suites if one is willing to pay more. Also, if he really was some kind of high roller there he may have enjoyed comps and upgrades, too. When I have looked at large upscale hotels online for suites (considering family stays), there are often 3-6 levels of “suite” larger than a standard hotel room.
Suppose the guy is a Patsy. Suppose several terrorists took him hostage then killed him, fired over 500 rounds then left before the cops got there.
It’s a Vegas strip hotel. Anyone entering/leaving the room would have been spotted and recorded by the hotel hallway cameras. Cameras are in every guest area hallway, elevator, and stairwell.
Moving 25+ places could also indicate extreme paranoia.
Didn’t Bill Ayers come from an affluent background? Didn’t prevent him from being a sociopath.
I saw on another website claims that the FBI found Antifa literature in his hotel room and that he was employed by a predecessor company to Lockheed. Have no idea of the source or veracity of either; what I haven’t is what the MOTIVE was - you don’t trek up to the top floors of a hotel 10 weapons with accompanying ammo and rent two corner rooms without being dedicated with some advance time and thought to this evil mission. But WHY target a country music festival? Had he had a run in with one of the performers? Even psychopaths don’t just go out and plan to do public mass murder - invariably there is some connection between what they do and some past perceived wrong or slight. What would possibly have provoked this murderous weirdo?
Dude was a multi-millionaire. Not likely.
Doesn’t matter which to them since either theory justifies yet more calls for gun control.
How do you know she hadn’t left Paddock? Such things can happen pretty suddenly sometimes. There would not necessarily be any paper trail since they were not married.
Ah! Thanks.
