A laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was missing its hard drive, depriving investigators of a potential key source of information on why he killed and maimed so many people, ABC News has learned.

Yep. Where’s our ace MSM? FBI? “Intelligence” community?

That’s been my theory from the first 24 hours
Airplanes - empty houses - money laundering.
It all adds up

Why, they’re all “working together”, of course : ) In collusion.

A SSD is a “hard drive”. This may be a case of sloppy reporting and an imprecise use of vocabulary, but if it is not...

And using the stash of weapons as money to pay for the transaction. The number of guns in Vegas makes no sense even if there were two shooters in two windows. Then when you see the video montage to make the time line w/ the 8 separate bursts makes single gun man plausible. I was thinking a sale of guns that went wrong.

Maybe that was it, once the transaction fell apart and you shoot Paddock in his room with all the guns, how else to help hide your escape than to make it look like a crazy guy mass shooting.

Conspiracies start to fill the void of facts. Not many facts here.

If he had no help there would be no reason for him to ditch the hard drive.

If the laptop had no hard drive, then how was the shooter monitoring the cameras in the hallway on the food cart?

Nothing to see here folks, just another mass murderer whose computer is missing its hard drive, whose home was coincidentally burglarized, etc. Let’s just move along...

> Why would the shooter bring a laptop with no hard drive? It is useless without it.

Maybe the 2nd shooter took it with him.
I am of the belief that there was a 2nd shooter, because there is no other explanation for why both 5.56 was raining down and .30 caliber was also being used.

It’s really hard to believe anything coming out of this “investigation.” We have to wait a few days to see if they put something out to contradict this or if this going to be part of the official story.

I’m sure sheriff Lombardo and his FBI handler have a satisfactory answer to this newest kettle of rotten fish.

Solid State Drive has no moving parts. Hard Drives spin a magnetic platter. We may be splitting hairs on the technical terms but you may be more right in focusing on the illiterate media.

“Maybe the 2nd shooter took it with him.”

Did we ever hear if Paddock’s missing ruger was located?

Broke the window and tossed it? No...that doesn't make sense...Just a red herring? That makes sense just like I believe 23 rifles was a red herring. He was going to use 23 rifles? Ridiculous.

The number and the fact that he bought all of them legally IS THE MESSAGE.

Imagine how many people can be killed with the 2000 weapons cache of Fast & Furious

The two men who killed Terry were convicted on October 1, 2015. October 2016....Stephen Paddock began the purchase of dozens of rifles.

October 1 2017....Stephen tries to get his message across.

He could have removed and threw it away earlier. He was at the hotel for days.

Somewhere, there is a huge repository of hard drives, extracted from the confiscated computers of certain “protected” individuals, deep in some vault inside the FBI (Federal Bureau of Matters), watched over and guarded by some long-time denizens of the Deep State.

Should this vault ever be opened, there is so much that would be incriminating to other parts of the Deep State, it would be badly wounded.

The fictions must be maintained.

Think now of how all of a sudden this whole dossier and Clinton scandals finally exploding.

Have we become so indoctrinated to having law enforcement leaking like a submarine with screen doors that we still expect the same with the adults finally in charge?
