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.

When the licences were issued is more interesting. Did he have a Nevada License? Having been issued a hunting licence some time in your past doesn’t mean a whole lot.
Yeah! Old J Edgar would have had the weapons paperwork, backyard photo's, the Russian connection all ready for newspaper publication by now!
agreed
I believe the Lockheed thing was many years back.
As to the feds scrubbing an antifa Facebook that belonged to him- I’m skeptical. That can’t be kept under wraps. Even with Deep State, regular people who knew him, followers on fb, someone will talk. How did these people claiming this find out? What is their source? It would have happened before his name was public...in the middle of the night.
It would be easy to bring them into the hotel and up to the 32nd floor room in a golf bag. Obviously the hotel lacked security checkpoints with metal detectors.
At some point I expect a class-action civil suit against the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino for lack of security that allowed the guns to be brought into the hotel. In this case such a suit might even bankrupt the hotel.
Another class-action civil suit against the estate of the shooter.
Multi-millionaire...half million dollar house...would give me all the reasons I needed to stay alive,enjoy my life and leave others alone.
Why is there NO evidence of motive whatsoever ? Weird. Maybe he isn’t the shooter? Who knows?Prayers for the victims and their families.
Nope.
Being married to an American only gives you the option to become a citizen. You do not become one automatically. You still have to live in the US a certain amount of time and pass the test.
You do get residency privileges (as long as there is not a compelling reason to deny) and it is easier to get a green card. Note that I said easier. The green card is not automatic either.
I know there was a lot out there that may end up not being true, but I read an article today that said the girlfriend was Indonesian but was traveling on an Australian passport? She seems to get around quite a bit.
The fact that he’s with an asian lady nudges me in the direction of thinking it’s him. But hardly a sure thing.
But if it is him, then here’s a massively over-extrapolated scenario: He’s a raging lefty, he hates deplorables, and the Trump election has driven him over the edge. What’s more, he’s a gun control nut. So he decides to massacre a crowd of country music loving red staters, hoping the outcry will create decisive pressure for gun control, especially if he can rack up a historic body count. He packs the hotel room with an absurd number of automatic weapons, not because they’re needed, but because they’ll make a statement about how easy it is to accumulate an arsenal. Thus he goes out in blaze of hate filled SJW glory.
A brain tumor, nestled between his thalamus, hypothalamus and amygdala, developed quietly to the size of a pecan.
During his 25th year, Whitman began to complain of headaches, a severe, persistent pain that he later described as “tremendous.” He wrote increasingly troubled journal entries detailing his mental state: “Recently (I cannot recall when it started) I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts.” He paid a visit to the campus mental health center complaining of violent impulses.
Then, one sweltering August day in 1966, Whitman did something no one expected: He climbed to the top of the UT tower with a sawed-off shotgun, and began shooting. His 96-minute reign of terror killed 13 people on campus and injured over 30, and only ended when he was killed by Austin police.
Whitman’s suicide note requested an autopsy to examine his brain, because he was convinced it would show some “visible physical disorder.”
wondering if anyone has considered whether marilou’s marriage to geary was an immigration marriage, with stephen as the beneficiary, paying his brother and keeping the arrangement “off the books” (so to speak). just a question— no information...
No quarrel, but I'll keep checking for corroboration.
In an interview with the brother he said he had not actually seen his brother face to face in a decade. They texted each other on a regular basis is what I got from the interview. People can change a lot in a decade.
There is an amazing amount of stuff about the guy we still don’t know. Seriously, no comments from neighbors, no one whom he gambled with, no comments from his out of country GF? He is reported to have a hunting and fishing license and a pilot license. No comments from fellow hunters, or pilots or FBO’s who knew him? Very vague employment history. I cant think of a high profile shooter we have known so little about ever. So whatever his history is, those that are digging into it are probably only finding stuff they would rather bury.
Well I don’t think we know much at all about what he has done since that one job in the ‘80s. There are references to him owning buildings and assertions about his gambling, but there has been very little solid info about his life and detailed activities. Granted, if he had been in long-term jobs after that auditor job in the 1980s we’d **probably** have heard about it by now, but I don’t think we really know too much that is totally solid about this guy’s life, work, money, and activities.
We don’t really know if he is wealthy or broke, if his gambling kept him going or if he was crashing and burning into financial disaster. I doubt that we will suddenly find out he has worked as a corporate accountant for 1989-2009, but at the moment there is not much solid info.
With the references to owning two planes and having a pilot’s license I have to wonder (highly speculative) if he did anything with drugs or money laundering, criminal world etc. Especially since he seems to have had no one or a few addresses for very long periods of time. He’s been all over the place, without any obvious “career” reason for the moves. I have no idea, just something that should be looked at very closely as investigators track where he made and spent money, how he has spent his time over the years, especially the recent months and years.
Wondered how long before McCain is suggested as Paddock's accomplice...
If he was hiding his love for guns FROM HIS OWN BROTHER AND OTHER FRIENDS, THEN HE WAS HIDING HIS AFFILIATION WITH ISIS.
That certainly seems like a plausible hypothesis. It is a mystery why he’d bother to bring **so many** weapons to the hotel, especially since each time he’s transporting gives some chance (even if very slight) of being hassled or found out. I can understand he wanted some extra weapons on hand, but 18-19 as has been reported?? That seems rather bizarre under any scenario except the one you outline. (well it would still be bizarre, but at least you offer an explanation!)
