Jesus Campos, Vegas security guard shot before rampage, appears to have vanished

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.

i posted an interview by laura loomer of two of the victims one of whom claimed that the shooting started 40 seconds earlier. It was removed, reason given as buffoonery.

But if he was illegal wouldn’t he be the perfect, ‘see how wonderful illegal are’ candidate for the media to showcase? Kind of like the dreamers who’s a straight A med student studying to be a pediatric cancer specialist. The media loves to parade these people around as reasons for open borders.

"Clearly, somebody knows where he is," he said.

Remember, way back in the old days, when we used to have these people who would ask questions and do research and find out things that the public wanted to know? They were these people that, even if someone was trying to hide something, they would keep asking questions and digging until they found the truth. They were called investigative journalists. Now, all we have is press release readers who hold microphones at press conferences and then diligently type out everything they are told to report.

We still have people who do this, but now we mock them and call them conspiracy theorists. True

Whether he did or not really doesn’t answer the question of why he cancelled all those interviews and disappeared.

The warning came from a time traveler eh? I suppose snark is acceptable when one’s only connection to a criminal investigation is a Nancy Drew novel. At any rate I’m certain the answer to who this person was won’t be coming from sheriff Lombardo given he melted into a quivering pool of tears at his last presser.
