In the year before Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock carried out the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, the high-stakes gambler appeared to have become increasingly unstable, distant and constantly complained of being sick, according to a final investigative report released Friday. Financial records also showed Paddock had lost more than $1.5 million in the two years before the Oct. 1 shooting that left 58 people dead and more than 800 others injured. One of Paddock's brothers told investigators that he believed the gunman had a "mental illness and was paranoid and delusional," and his doctor believed he may...

What was Paddock’s motive? This report was derived from the LVMPD’s preliminary investigative report that was released on January 18, 2018. The findings from that preliminary report remain accurate and in accordance with this final report. This report was authored to provide the reader with more information about who, what, when, and where. Regretfully, this report will not be able to address the why.

Just wanted to go back to this Mandalay Bay shooting in Vegas for a minute or two. At the time they opined that Paddock's motive was unknown. I just loooked again and they still say that. Wow. Well, not really. As I said afterward, this was a terrorist attack meant to destroy the Mandalay Bay/or MGM. As despicable as he and his actions were, from a say, military guerrilla standpoint, it is pretty ingenious. A typical stumble bum would lose a lot a dough at a casino, go in and maybe shoot a few people, get shot dead himself, and...

FULL TITLE: Nearly 750 hours of video and 2,000 calls to 911 in Vegas shooting. Almost all of it remains unseen and unheard ~SNIP~ The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has fought the release of those items in court for months — much as they fought the unsealing of search warrants related to Paddock after the shooting. State and federal judges ultimately ruled against the department and ordered hundreds of pages of search warrants be unsealed. ~snip~ With the volume of mass shootings in recent years, it's been a mixed bag in terms of how long it takes for police...

The rogue faction of the FBI — leftover disciples of the Andrew McCabe-school of federal law enforcement — have waged a manhunt to find FBI personnel who are leaking REAL details about the Mandalay Bay massacre to independent news media. You might think the FBI would spend its time running down leads to pinpoint the details of the Las Vegas shooting spree that claimed the lives of 58 people and injured 500 more. Not so. But it is imperative to understand the two FBIs at play in Las Vegas right now, One faction comprises the rank-and-file FBI who are working...

Sometimes we see him as other hotel guests would have seen him: as the tall gambler intent on the video poker machine across the casino floor, or as the customer standing in line in front of you at the gift shop, buying snacks, or as the guy you briefly glance at as he waits for you to get off the elevator — polite, unhurried, unmemorable. Sometimes we see him as the employees would have seen him, as the casually dressed V.I.P. with the many suitcases who jokes with bellhops, chats with valets and gives out tips along with handshakes.

Police Department. It is shocking to find that the coroner says Stephen Paddock died one day after he committed suicide. “The autopsy report indicates they recovered a moderately deformed copper jacketed gray metal missile and fragment of copper jacket and gray metal between the occipital dura and partly into occipital skull. No corresponding exit. Trajectory front-to-back and upward.” The following is Stephen Paddock’s autopsy report: http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/2.pdf This is the police report: https://www.scribd.com/document/369536524/Oct-1-Report http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/las-vegas-coroner-stephen-paddock-died-one-day-committed-suicide/2018/02/11 http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/1.pdf “ According to the Clark County Coroner Autopsy Report, Case Number: 17-10064, an autopsy examination was performed on the body tentatively identified as Paddock, Stephen Craig...

There is more strangeness coming out of Las Vegas with each new day. Stephen Paddock told a prostitute he feared he was an “experiment.” He, also, told her he was born with “bad blood.” She went on to say he performed bizarre sexual acts on her, and now she is missing. She told girls after work that she was scared something would happen to her. Paddock paid her $6,000 a night, and she said she had been with him the night of October 1, 2017. We know that the room service ticket showed he had two people in his room...

Search warrant records unsealed Tuesday show that in the first hours after the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Las Vegas police and FBI agents identified two people of interest along with the lone gunman, Stephen Paddock. The name of one of those people is blacked out in the court records. The other is Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley. She was in the Philippines at the time of the attack and is cooperating with investigators.

Dozens of new photos were just released from the Vegas shooting investigation which provide a chilling look inside the room and vehicle of Stephen Paddock. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department finally released a substantial amount of information this week in the form of 28 crime scene photographs. The photos show the alleged shooter’s room, vehicle, security setup, and even the infamous note. While these photos give us more insight into the shooting, they also leave us with many more questions.

Las Vegas sheriff Joe Lombardo revealed that there is an ongoing FBI case against an “individual of federal interest” other than Stephen Paddock or his girlfriend Marilou Danley. Paddock opened fire on a country music festival on Oct. 1, 2017, from a room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and injuring 546.

Investigators scanning computers belonging to Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock found “numerous” child pornography photos, the city’s sheriff revealed Friday, adding that the FBI is looking into a person of interest in the case. It was Joe Lombardo’s first press conference since Oct. 13, 2017. Police also released a 81-page preliminary investigative report on the shooting Friday, containing new photographs of Paddock's hotel suite and online searches he conducted before the attack, such as for SWAT tactics and other potential public venue targets.
