Jesus Campos, Vegas security guard shot before rampage, appears to have vanished
Los Angeles Times ^ | October 16, 2017 | by Melissa Etehad, Ruben Vives and Jaweed Kaleem

The story seemed straightforward: The unarmed security guard approached Stephen Paddock’s room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, distracting the gunman and potentially saving lives.

He was hailed a hero by many, even as the story changed. Twice.

Now, the man that many want to honor and who can help bring clarity about the timeline of the shooting has vanished from the public eye, less than two weeks since the Oct. 1 massacre, which left 58 people dead and more than 500 others injured.

David Hickey, president of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America union, said it had been four days since he last saw Jesus Campos.

“We have had no contact with him…. Clearly, somebody knows where he is," he said.

Hickey said he was with Campos on Thursday, coordinating a series of interviews that the guard was scheduled to give about the attack. They included appearances on the Sean Hannity show on Fox, as well as news shows on CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC. Campos was staying in a suite in a Las Vegas hotel, Hickey said.

Hickey said he was attending a meeting with MGM representatives in one room of the suite as Campos waited with a security guard — hired by MGM — and another union member in the living room.

When the meeting ended about 2 p.m., Hickey said Campos was no longer in the room.

"When I got in touch with the other union member, I was told Campos was taken to the Quick Care" health clinic, Hickey said. He didn't hear from the guard afterward and announced to a scrum of reporters that night that Campos had canceled interviews.

Jeez...the “news” here (FOX5) is still beating this dead horse. Thinking Americans smell the rottenness and the source it comes from and all we’re doing is waiting for the truth to surface above all the steer manure.

The Clintonmobile seems to be on loan to the Fby boys and grils. But I suspect there is more than one, as many bodies that have disappeared in recent days (living or dead.)

This girl's life was saved by an unknown person who warned her prior to the concert that "you all will die." I've never heard of a warning like this before. Has there been a sketch of the person she described made? If not, why not?

He is in the steady hands of a bevy of casino lawyers, making sure he has memorized the script, “I’m sorry, I have no recollection of that”.

In the rear of said room, with the bevy of lawyers, is, “Louise”, aka, “BK”, for “brass knuckles”; he sits with arms crossed and looks bored, like, beating someone into a sirloin steak appearance would excite him.

Said security guard, Campo, will reappear, very sure of those lines. Perhaps in a day or two.

My guess is, thanks to MGM/Mandalay Bay, he’s on a permanent all expense paid vacation in Mexico

I get the feeling we will never know the truth.

Maybe avoiding the media??

I agree you. Why set himself up for criticism. He appears quite shy.

My guess is that he is in a safe house of a sort and has had a minor nervous break down AND is being protected.

I can't imagine going through what he went through or any of those people went through.

The sounds are impressed in his memory and they are still vivid. Even I wake up and thinking about Vegas and think....it has to be a dream.

Too many billions at stake in lawsuit city to risk on a security guard making a poorly worded statement on a national forum...

Saw an article yesterday that one of the eyewitnesses who reported multiple shooters was found dead over the weekend.

Fox just reported the clinic Campos allegedly went to has no record for his visit.

We haven’t seen a single frame of CCTV video showing Paddock carrying or wheeling bags into the hotel room. Wonder why.

(Answer: he wasn’t the one who carried them in)

“Was it reported Paddock was wearing gloves?”
_____________________________________________

Yes.

Supposedly, he had a rash on his hands and fingers from whatever.

My guess he was spirited out to the airport and put on the plane that flies daily to area 51.
