FBI agents have questioned employees at a Florida mall in an attempt to trace the steps of homegrown terrorist Omar Mateen after he killed 49 people at the gay nightclub Pulse.
Investigators visited CityPlace in West Palm Beach, Florida, about 170 miles south of Pulse, and asked employees at a movie theater along with two restaurants whether they had seen Mateen.
WSVN also reported Mateen had visited the mall as recently as five days before the mass shooting.
Mateen had visited the shopping mall five times between February 25 of this year to June 6, less than a week before the Pulse shooting, according to a source cited by WSVN.
Betty Santana, the AMC movie theater manager at CityPlace, confirmed that an FBI agent showed up to interview her, but none of the workers had recognized Mateen, according to the Palm Beach Post.
'It is scary. They said they knew he had been around here several times but weren't sure exactly where,' she told the Palm Beach Post....

Still trying to discover the elusive reason for his murderous rampage. They should join forces with America’s Greatest Sleuth, OJ Simpson, as he searches for the real killer.
Sounds like the SOB was casing the mall as a potential shooting site.
Time for them to turn in their guns and badges
More than two hands involved.
Proctologists and flashlights on call....
Will Comey recommend APB?

Idiots. The same Org that finds the press Corp corrupting the home crime scene within 24 hrs has issues with this
The FBI has become a joke of their former selves.
Once the most respected, unbiased, and thorough investigative agency in the world.
Now they are the butt of jokes, internet memes, and likely murderers are among their ranks.
They could do well to present a solid case against Hillary and Bill Clinton to partially restore their former prestige.

The Pentagon is busy trying to be as incompetent as the current FBI....

They're looking to blame anything other than Islam for his rampage.
We may never know why he did it. It’s not because he was a Mooslim. It’s not because he was a homosexual. He must have been a closeted straight Christian gun nut. That would explain it all.
It couldn’t be Islam, because he never says “Allah” in the transcript.
PING!!
Article and comments esp, #11, #13
Thanks Jet Jaguar
And for instance;
REFUGEES SENDING ‘SUITCASES OF WELFARE CASH’ HOME TO SOMALIA
FBI ‘won’t touch it’ for fear of offending Muslims
Phillip Haney is referenced:
The Obama administration’s overriding fear of interfering with Muslim “charity” — which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam known as Zakat — was also exposed by a little-known entry buried in the Federal Register on Feb. 5, 2014. This change in policy was not processed through Congress or even highlighted by a presidential executive order. Nobody from the media noticed it but it carried great weight in changing the way federal agents like Haney did their jobs. In one fell swoop it negated their ability to stop jihadist sympathizers from entering the U.S. or from claiming taxpayer benefits once they are here.
It showed up as an obscure amendment to what is known as the “terrorism inadmissibility grounds” or TRIG within the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The decree gave the attorney general, the secretary of Homeland Security and the secretary of state “discretion” to ignore financial contributions by immigrants to known terrorist outfits if it was determined these donations amounted to “limited material support” and were “routine social transactions” carried out in the “satisfaction of certain well-established or verifiable cultural obligations.”
“The terms ‘routine transaction’ and ‘well-established cultural obligations’ are legalese for zakat (Islamic charity), which became the focus of a barrage of disinformation after the Holy Land Foundation was indicted on July 26, 2004 for financial support of Hamas,” Haney said.
Thanks Whenifhow.
I see the media has accepted he was a “homegrown” terrorist.
Then the good folks at the mall need to be on alert in case Mateen was casing that place as well - because his buddies are still out there.
His father was radicalizing him all his life and his father wasn't "homegrown".
