Las Vegas Massacre, Part 6

I am looking for the source now. Yesterday I read that the shooter was on the FBI's watch list, and, that he had received and issued numerous international wire transfers to/from various countries. Does anyone know if this is verified? Sources? I'm still looking for that info. It would indicate that he had many international connections and made his money in some other way other than gambling.

Also have to wonder if you had an outlaw for a father, would you be able to be hired in classified government facilities? This guy had more than one government job on his resume. I thought they did extensive background checks. I guess if your father was on the most wanted list, it doesn't impact your getting hired by IRS, post office, and government contractors?

So the shooter like hookers to play out his rape fantasies, and the quiet brother is a pedo.

I wonder what the talkative brother is into...

I miss hot daddy Sheriff.

You do not glorify the shooter if you concentrate on the victims and the Nevada Resort Associations's response to amass murder commandeering one of their properties. The Nev Res Assoc has to make public the changes instituted as to the safety of citizens on the Las Vegas Strip in anticipation of New Years Eve.

Las Vegas has seen a noticeable decrease in Asian tourism in the one month since the Mandalay Massacre. There is no such violence in Macau.

A Canadian man who survived getting shot in the head during the massacre at a Las Vegas country music festival has been bombarded with death threats from online conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists, many of whom believe the government staged the Oct. 1 shooting or that it did not happen at all, have targeted survivors, dubbing them “crisis actors,” hired to pose as victims.

“You are a lying piece of s--- and I hope someone truly shoots you in the head,” one person wrote to Matejka on Facebook in the days after the worst shooting in modern U.S. history.

The media's handling of these events makes "Crisis actors" not seem far fetched...

Las Vegas' delicate balancing act: Promoting tourism while acknowledging mass shooting

Isn’t is enough already, you ghouls?

r9 = Jew trying to destroy American discourse

R1, his father was on the FBI watch list and his gf is on a travel ban. Google turns up nothing else.

R10 got issues

I can't decide which is worse, the guy calling us ghouls or the crisis actor nonsense.

R13 I have both on ignore.

I can’t see R14

This thread smells of poo

Authorities put brakes on information flow in Las Vegas shooting

Fifty-eight people killed. More than 500 injured. And yet, nearly a month after the Las Vegas Strip experienced the worst mass shooting in modern American history, local and federal authorities are refusing to fill in the blanks.

It wasn’t always like this. In the days after Oct. 1, when Stephen Paddock opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest festival crowd from his Mandalay Bay corner suite, Las Vegas police were hosting multiple news conferences a day. Then, once a day. Then, once every few days.

They compiled and released snippets of officers’ body camera footage. They spent several minutes answering specific questions. They released a comprehensive timeline, which ended up being wrong. They took it back, and tried to clarify the errors, but instead caused more confusion.

Loon alert

By Oct. 13 — the last time the Metropolitan Police Department or the FBI addressed the media or public — something had changed. The sheriff, who had been straightforward and stern, was now emotional and at times combative. Both he and the FBI failed to provide much new information, and at the end of the meeting, they refused to take questions.

Since that day, the only person who has shed more light on the investigation is Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos, who was shot in the leg while approaching the gunman’s room. His platform to share that information? “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which aired last week. He hasn’t made himself available to the media since.

“It doesn’t matter,” FBI spokeswoman Sandra Breault told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Thursday, when asked why there had been no significant updates in two weeks. “It’s an ongoing investigation, and unless there’s something to report, there will not be a briefing.”

Nearly a month after the mass shooting, the gunman’s motive remains a mystery. More straightforward questions also remain unanswered, including whether the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay — where the gunman was staying — has surveillance cameras, and what exactly investigators collected in the gunman’s hotel room and homes.

Authorities also have not said how long the gunman had a “do not disturb” sign on his hotel door, and whether hotel staff saw something suspicious in his room but failed to report it.

Though authorities have described the investigation as a team effort, they have not explained what role Las Vegas police, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are playing in the case.

We are coming to the first mensiversary.

"Let’s hope there are no more sudden tragic deaths of survivors of Las Vegas to report."

Where is the casino/hotel footage of Paddock? How did he get all that shit up there to his room. Total coverup by the FBI. Love watching that asshole spook stand behind LVPD as they read their script.

Hollywood is outing its predators one by one. Ironically, it's helping to bury this story. Everyone please forget the details of this operation. Let's keep looking at celebs and what they had to do.

The LA Times and several other media outlets have sued the LVPD to get updated information and the files on the shooting. In reply, the Sherriff allowed an interview:

Newsweek reporting gunman was, indeed, a Trump supporter. Watch deplorables scream "FAKE NEWS".

it has to be fake just like the dem that shot up orlando nightclub and now a repub shooting up a country concert bizarro world

I've never understood the whole "crisis actor" thing. It all seems needlessly complicated. Why go to the trouble of faking a mass shooting when you could just... organise an ACTUAL mass shooting? These conspiracy theories usually involve people being murdered if they don't keep quiet, so it's not as though the criminal masterminds in question care about keeping the body count low.

And why on Earth would anyone NEED to fake a mass shooting in America? A country where A) it's extremely easy to get hold of a gun, B) there are an awful lot of crazy people, and C) there are many barriers to mental health care unless you're financially comfortable?

i'm for team donna she could wipe the floor with Hills .... wonder what come back donna had for the clinton buffalo remark.... maybe hey Hills you empty headed marshmellow bring it on

He was Trump supporter happy with him over stock market. He was also narcissist and obsessed with his wealth and status in LV. Not surprising Trumpkins want to ignore this.

I think it's the media that has been told to bury it, or only tell us the minimal now, specifically that it involves a Trumper, and probably involves several people who couldn't give a rats ass about who is prez.

Last night, 20/20 did a episode on all the unanswered questions about the LV massacre.

The shooter was supposed to be an NPD and all about image (as they all are) but he was looking pretty beat up near the end. Also, he never looked that great in any photo shown of him, and those sorts love to pose -- the invented selfies to make sure they could always have photos of themselves. He is said to have liked to show off spending money, but video poker is not a showoffy game like those played at tables. Also, he was always openly bitching at his escort about using his casino card for coffee, etc. So I am wondering if he were really an NPD as LEO says.

Paddock was rich....owned a private jet based in Virginia. He spent a lot of time overseas. Where did his money really come from? Professional video poker player? HA! How fucking stupid do you have to be to believe this shit? Also...nobody talking about MGM CEO selling majority of his stock 2 weeks before incident...Mandalay Bay also owned by Saudis...so much to piece together. I think Paddock was an arms dealer and something went wrong. He is a patsy. Vegas PD and FBI covering up truth in the interest of possible fed involvement and to save tourist dollars....call me crazy

Why would corrupt Saudis shoot up a bunch of CW fans?

[bold] So PADDOCK WAS A TRUMP SUPPORTER! A republican, gun-loving psychopath killed a bunch of innocent people.[/bold] What else is new??

S36 Keep drinking the kool aid.. and while you are at it, make sure to continue to swallow what the mainstream media puts in your mouth.

@S35 Fast and Furious type deal ran by feds selling to ISIS goes sour maybe?

Nobody talking about the fact that Paddocks home was burglarized days after shooting. How the fuck does this happen? You'd think it would be swarming w cops and spooks for weeks scouring every inch of house.

R36 this has nothing to do with Trump(ers), but the MSM would like you to think so, cuz it gets ya all riled up. You're not supposed to follow the money, you're supposed to get your panties in a bunch over Trump.

The woman in the article I posted at R22 had taken extensive, 360 degree video of the concert on her phone. She and her husband died a few blocks from their home when their car hit a metal pole and exploded in a massive fire. A car explodes after hitting a pole? The article makes her kids sound so happy and loving and at peace with her death. Fuckin weird story.

[quote]S36 Keep drinking the kool aid.. and while you are at it, make sure to continue to swallow what the mainstream media puts in your mouth.

[quote]@S35 Fast and Furious type deal ran by feds selling to ISIS goes sour maybe?

Did you get lost on your way to a conspiracy forum? No one here uses "S" to reply.

[R41] Ha! Maybe I did. Sorry.

Paddock is the contact man to supply the guns. He meets a couple of assassins ahead of time (remember, the shooting starts at 10:05). At this point, Paddock is thinking this is a gun deal. Only a few magazines are loaded. He merely wants to show the customers how to load the chamber etc... What he doesn't know is that the advance team was sent to secure the floor. That all but one entry point to the floor would be barricaded (crucial since the reason Campos becomes suspicious of the blocked doors is what ultimately leads him to investigate) The reason for the barricade is that once the assault starts, the assassins want to make sure to impede the authorities as much as possible from reaching the top floors.

CIA/FBI (or Trump's own intelligence) got wind of the assassination that was about to take place. Immediate action is taken to round up the assassins. Remember, we're talking about an army of assassins here. You can't kill a Crown Prince who's protected by 30 armed bodyguards by pulling a Jack Ruby.

What the assassins didn't know was that the prince had disguised himself as a regular dude to enjoy the nightlife in Vegas. (Saudi princes have been known to do this) He had slipped away from the Mandalay and was at the Tropicana playing some cards. As soon as the FBI (or some other agency) learned of the assassination plot, they stormed the Tropicana and extracted the prince.

Everything but the dogs snapping at their rear ends, R44/45, etc.!

So all these victim lawsuits in the news. Grand theft in plain sight. If victims are suing every business in sight, it must be because one shooter ruined everything. smh

An attorney on TV once said that you sir the businesses' insurance, which h exists for this purpose.

You aren't targeting the business.

Oh, well then suing insurance companies for multi millions of dollars doesn't hurt anybody at all. Nobody has to pay; the money comes from a big pot of gold.

R49 = Insurance guy

I do not believe for one minute that Paddock owns a private jet. That sounds just like the sort of garbage one would read on Alex Jones and that sort of site. Those who read it accept it as truth without researching it and it soon become a part of the lore(like the whole crisis actor phenomenon following Sandy Hook.) He simply was not that rich. IF anyone has a credible link backing up the jet story, please post it.

I wonder if we will ever find out what happened.

[quote]Did you get lost on your way to a conspiracy forum?

How big a Bozo are you that you think there's NO conspiracy going on here/?

Honestly, how willfully stupid and blind can some of you people get?

This caper stinks to high heaven and it definitely involves more than one dead patsy.

I'm usually the one mocking conspiracy theories but there IS something wrong with this story and how the government and media have dealt with it.

The second or third day after the shooting there was one news network commentator who said the FBI knew the motive but "dreaded" having to discuss it. Perhaps his information was wrong but has there otherwise been a significant act of domestic terrorism left unexplained this long?

We're seven weeks from the shooting. Seven weeks from the loss of the Malaysian airliner CNN was still giving updates, yet the media dropped this story in a week.

It doesn't add up.

R54 From the end of the first week following the massacre I have felt it in my bones that the FBI has leaned on the news outlets to more or less kill the story because they DO know what his motive was; and it would be too inflammatory/divisive/shocking to dump on the general public.

I don't claim to have a clue as to which of those three things it is/was, but there is no way in hell that the investigators have not found some pretty damning stuff by now. And if he really was just another nihilistic misanthrope who hates everything and everyone, I think they would shout that from the treetops.

My gut says something to do with arms dealing, but I have nothing to back that up.

Las Vegas massacre?

Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me.

I'd forgotten all about it.

I doubt arms dealing would be such a big deal they can't admit it.

A major California legislator was arrested and imprisoned for gun running, including missiles. Being a California democrat the matter was allowed to quickly fade, but it wasn't totally suppressed or ignored.

[quote] California Senate’s Top Gun Control Advocate Arrested In Firearms Trafficking Plot

To "dread" talking about it, there must be something far more important, or just more insane. I keep going back to the forgotten fact he worked at JPL. It makes his shots at the JANET terminal more interesting a coincidence.

I'll tell you what happened. A Trump voting Republican killed a bunch of other Trump-voting Republicans. In response, the GOP politicians do absolutely nothing. Same old story. Rinse, lather, repeat.

The "media" stopped reporting because they've figured out that the public doesn't give a shit anymore. Republicans don't care. Why the hell should we?

R57 It would be a big deal if he had been procuring weaponry for ISIS.

Is that likely? No. But it's not completely impossible.

[quote]The "media" stopped reporting because they've figured out that the public doesn't give a shit anymore. Republicans don't care. Why the hell should we?

Absolute baloney. They stopped talking about it because it is blazingly obvious that one person could not have done this. If one person had done it alone, there would be ample video evidence to prove it. You can't fart in Vegas without it being capture on video.

I think law enforcement is embarrassed because all these years free 9-11 and after all their intrusions on our privacy and civil rights, someone like this was able to pull off such a slaughter.

No embarrassment R61. They are doing as told. R60 is dead on.

Body count grows. Who would have imagined all these unfortunate coincidences.

Thanks to the treasonous NDAA, nothing said to a psychologist is now confidential. The FBI and DHS have access to every word. While this man was looking for help, he probably said to much about what he saw. The FBI guard their secrets.

Wait, a third person died who was at the Vegas shooting? First the couple in the car that hit the pole and now a hit and run in the middle of fucking nowhere?

It's hard for the public to challenge the press, outside of Twitter.

[quote] It's hard for the public to challenge the press, outside of Twitter.

We HATE that Trump figured this one out.

See, we can't get mad at Trump for pushing the whole Fake News thing when the media behaves like this over such an important story.

I think this makes 6 people who have died now.

The couple who took 360 degree video of the concert, whose car exploded a few blocks from their home when it hit a metal pole, whose daughter apparently witnessed it and immediately was willing to be interviewed by reporters and said how wonderful it was to see them so happy and that the roses on the table are still looking great. News report with nothing but lovely things to say about their love for each other, and absolutely nothing about the accident, how/why it happened, how devastating etc.

The young 20 something woman who told many of her friends that she heard shots coming from many different places. Died in her sleep.

Jason Aldean's lawyer who was telling people "the investigation and discussions with investigators is complex and confusing". This lawyer was involved in negotiating or managing Aldean's concerts including Vegas concert. Early 60s. Died of "natural causes". No other information. Google "Jason Aldean lawyer death" and you won't get one single MSM website show up. MSM did not report. No doubt Jason who was on stage at the time of the shooting saw something but can't speak and let his lawyer speak for him. Until he couldn't speak anymore because of natural causes. Jason is also expecting a baby.

The guy listed at R63 who was mentally messed up by the shooting, probably saw a psychologist, hit by a Camaro. Hit and run.

"Danny Contreras “Contreras was shot to death in a vacant Vegas-area home days after the shooting, and local police have attributed his death to gang or drug activity. Even so, before his loss of life, Las Vegas shooting survivor Danny Contreras had also claimed on social media that he’d been shot at by multiple shooters on October 1"

So Paddock was part of an aborted coup in Saudi Arabia, is that what the new theory is?

[R63] How does the NDAA remove confidentiality between a psychologist and their patient? I haven't seen anything that would cause me to think that so I'm curious what you've seen. Not being snarky, real question.

I don't think Paddock was involved in arms dealing. I think he was a patsy. This was a false flag. Too many people claiming multiple shooters have now died/been killed. I have a friend who lives in Vegas and was there. She, too, has said there were multiple shooters but she has not said so outside of a couple of friends. Nothing publicly and nothing on social media. She said outright that she is afraid and so she says nothing. This was a dark op and I believe it belongs to the DHS.

Scary times.

Las Vegas victims fund raised $22 million — but it's not enough, so thousands will get nothing

No offense R70, but anyone who uses the explanation of "false flag" is usually(always) a conspiracy theorist.

It's like Repubs using MSM describing everyone but Fox.

FBI chief in Nevada says motive behind Las Vegas concert massacre is still a mystery

Federal authorities continue to search for the motive that drove a gunman to open fire on country music festival this fall, a bloody rampage that left 58 people dead and hundreds wounded.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday that investigators still couldn’t say what made 64-year-old Stephen Paddock begin firing into a crowd of 22,000 at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 1.

“Ours is focusing a large part on the why, OK? Which is what everybody wants to know,” Rouse said. He said federal authorities expected to issue a report sometime next year.

Since the shooting, law enforcement officials have been largely quiet about Paddock’s motives, and the lack of information has fueled several conspiracy theories in the nearly three months since the massacre.

I'm not normally a conspiracy nut but this case is very strange.

There is also a girl of 27 years old who was at concert who died "in her sleep". She had been posting on social media that there were shooters on foot chasing people

And now cops are dosppearing.

Las Vegas police are asking for the public’s help in finding a captain who has gone missing and is considered “endangered.”

Police said Capt. James LaRochelle, who oversees the organizational development bureau, which handles advanced training for the police academy, was last seen at about 2 a.m. Thursday near Desert Foothills Drive and West Charleston Boulevard, near the entrance to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

Maybe he went to that same hospital the casino guard pretended to disappear to,.

Members of the FBI aren't very intelligent anymore. At least since before 9/11. Or maybe before that. Maybe they never were very intelligent.

Did the guy want to try and kill a lot of right wing, red necks?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Amid room check mania instigated by many venues, including Disney, we find the killer passed all of his room checks prior to the shooting.

Suffice it to say that any witnesses - who know they saw or heard several shooters - are silent now. So now the public can get the real story from the FBI in a year.

[quote]I'm not normally a conspiracy nut but this case is very strange.

The Deep State and their global friends usually pull off these inside jobs with better success than they had with this one. This one got fucked up somehow and now all the players are clamming up. The media scarcely dare push this story to promote government gun-grabbing, as was surely the intention. They need everyone to just forget this happened.

R81 I am not trying to burst you "witnesses" bubble in an unkind way, but witnesses to traumatic events are notoriously and historically incorrect.

You have to understand that they are in a state of shock at the time, so their senses tend to be confused and muddled.

Here are a couple of examples with which I have had first hand experience:

1. Eyewitnesses on the ground nearly always claim that they saw an explosion before an airplane crashed. In every case that did not happen.

2. People with their senses scrambled and overloaded on the morning of 9/11 claimed to have been fired on by snipers in the area around the Twin Towers,

3. this is not quite the same thing, but following the "disappearance/murder of Lacy Peterson, over 2,000 witnesses were certain that they had seen her in areas ranging from Hawaii to Pa.

Just ask any DA how they feel about eyewitness testimony. They would far rather have circumstantial evidence, because it is now accepted how poor and easily disproved eyewitnesses are.

Judge unseals search warrants in mass shooting in Las Vegas

A federal judge unsealed more than 300 pages of search warrants related to the mass shooting Oct. 1 that killed 58 people and wounded hundreds, but the documents do little to reveal what prompted the attack. Instead, they demonstrate how authorities continue to seek answers to many questions surrounding Paddock’s actions and motive.

The search warrants covered electronic accounts of Paddock and his girlfriend, Marilou Danley. They had been sealed for months, but lawyers for several media companies, including the Los Angeles Times, argued for the release of the information.

Danley has not been charged in the attack, but according to an affidavit, she was “identified thus far as the most likely person who aided or abetted Stephen Paddock based on her informing law enforcement that her fingerprints would likely be found on the ammunition used during the attack.”

One warrant for Paddock’s hotel room resulted in the recovery of three cellphones. Two were unlocked, but “neither contained significant information that allowed investigators to determine the full scope of Stephen Paddock’s planning and preparation for the attack.”

The third phone, however, was unable to be unlocked.

Indictment in Las Vegas mass shooting is possible, authorities say

Stephen Paddock was the only gunman spraying bullets on an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas last fall, but on Tuesday police said criminal charges could still be filed in the mass shooting that left 58 people dead.

The revelation came in district court as Nick Crosby, a lawyer representing the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, argued to keep search warrants, affidavits and findings sealed as charges were being investigated. Police have said Paddock was the lone gunman in the Oct. 1 massacre.

Crosby said that because the investigation was ongoing, he couldn’t reveal who those charges might be aimed at or what they might entail.

He said the charges could emerge within the next 60 days.

Lawsuit filed against Mandalay Bay alleges hotel was warned about security flaws

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A new lawsuit filed against Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino represents more than 100 victims and the families of victims who were killed Oct. 1 by a mass shooter at a music festival.

Natalie Grumet recounts the terror she survived at the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert on the Las Vegas strip nearly four months ago.

"I was shot before I heard the sound, all of a sudden my face felt like it was on fire," Grumet said.

She spent 20 days in the ICU and underwent four surgeries after being shot in the face that day. There are more surgeries in her future, and she says she struggles with survivor's guilt.

"I think about the the 58 people who died and were killed and their families every day," she said.

Grumet and two other shooting victims, Tiffany Huizar and Chelsea Romo, who lost an eye in the shooting, shared their stories as their attorney announced he filed a lawsuit against Mandalay Bay and MGM Resorts International Monday.

"They knew about the potential for this. It was completely foreseeable this would happen and it did happen," said attorney James Frantz.

According to Frantz, Mandalay Bay had been warned they were a soft target for a mass shooting and that they needed to improve security, add metal detectors and have better emergency escape plans.

"This hotel chain knew that and they did nothing to secure their property," Frantz said. "It was so bad, they didn't know there was a mass shooter in the hotel."

MGM Resorts International released a statement saying, "The tragic incident that took place on October 1 was a senseless act of evil perpetrated by a deranged individual. We will give our response to this case through the appropriate legal channels."

It’s sad that this story, a monstrous mass murder on a truly staggering scale, has basically been forgotten about already. It’s like, ... “NEXT?”

I think people are just numb. I don’t even mean to shootings or crime. To everything. Such an assault of information and occurrences. People are just underwater.

This might explain Trump to some extent. I doubt he’d get away with what he’s said and done were we not living in the midst of this constant digital bombardment and fifty billion distractions.

r87 all it's doing is giving the corporate hotel ownership time to shore up their defense strategy. If there's any merit to those claims, you can bet your ass the MGM has gone over their inter-company e-mails with a fine tooth comb, & nuked them from all their servers and company phones.

I have forgotten that massacre months ago

Endless distractions, constant parade of things to do and see, a torrent of data. It’s making us so superficial that a comet could strike the earth and kill millions, and we’d stop caring after a few weeks because of that viral video of a person harming an ostrich.

R83 why should I care when there’s going to be another within a week? It’s exhausting. And I can’t my time continuously upset.

R93 I don't understand how your reply gins up with my comment. Sorry? Because I said that eyewitness evidence is unreliable in most cases which involve trauma to the witnesses? Why would you be sorry?

I don’t how I typed R83 when I was answering R92. And my fingers aren’t fat. My bad.

Unlike in other tragedies, the media has not spent much time making the effort to make the victims individual and well publizied.

We don't know who most of the dead people were, outside of the brief bios we heard.

LAS VEGAS -- Investigators have still not discovered what motivated Stephen Paddock to embark on the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history but determined that he researched SWAT tactics ahead of the massacre and investigated other possible targets, including the famed California beach in Santa Monica, officials said Friday.

They also determined that Paddock acted alone when he opened fire from his high-rise hotel suite, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters.

Lombardo made public a preliminary report into the shooting and said he does not expect charges to be filed against Paddock's girlfriend, Marilou Danley, who had been previously called a person of interest in the case. Investigators also found that Paddock had possessed child pornography, Lombardo said.

This is because they have not discovered Stephen Paddock's alter personality who actually masterminded the massacre.

Once the alter's files are found, then the mystery will be revealed.

That's a joke right? ^^^^^

This shooting and the Texas shooting have been forgotten.

How bizarre that someone could pull off the most deadly shooting in US history without leaving any trace of their motive.

How bizarre that someone could pull off the most deadly shooting in US history all by himself without any cameras capturing him. He was indirectly able to kill off even more people after the shooting by way of mysterious accidents and dyings in their sleep. He was one heckuva killer.

Why train cameras on the sealed windows high above the ground?

Cameras were probably watching the perimeter around the ground floor.

r99, it is my favorite pet theory as to why Paddok left no clues. He was scrubbed by an alter who used him to commit the massacre.

LAS VEGAS -- The much anticipated autopsy report on Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock did nothing to help explain why he carried out the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history - his body didn't hold diseases or drugs or other substances that could have caused aggressive behavior.

In fact, it showed he was a sober, healthy 64-year-old.

The report - released Friday in response to a lawsuit by The Associated Press and the Las Vegas Review-Journal - showed gunman Stephen Paddock had anti-anxiety drugs in his system but was not under the influence of them.

Paddock unleashed a barrage of bullets from his high-rise hotel suite into a crowd at a country music festival below, killing 58 people and injuring more than 800 others on Oct. 1. He fatally shot himself before officers stormed his hotel suite after the mass shooting.

The autopsy showed the 6-foot-1 Paddock was slightly overweight at 224 pounds, had high blood pressure and bad teeth. But there was nothing unusual in his physical condition, even after a microscopic brain examination conducted by experts at Stanford University. His cremated remains were released to his brother in January.

Earlier Friday, Clark County District Judge Richard Scotti issued an unusual order to The AP and Review-Journal that an autopsy report about an off-duty police officer killed in the mass shooting, which was released by another judge last week, must be returned. The AP and Review-Journal are appealing.

The motivation for the shooting has been a mystery since Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel, despite intensive investigation by local police and federal authorities.

A preliminary report released last month by Las Vegas police said the high-stakes gambler had been on a losing streak, was obsessed with cleanliness, possibly bipolar and was having difficulties with his live-in girlfriend.

Investigators believe Paddock acted alone and he did not leave a suicide note or manifesto before he was found dead in the room. Police found 23 rifles and a handgun in his hotel suite and more than a dozen of the rifles were fitted with "bump stock" devices that allowed rapid-fire shooting similar to fully automatic weapons.

His live-in girlfriend, Marilou Danley, told investigators that Paddock had become "distant" in the year before the shooting and their relationship was no longer intimate, according to the preliminary report released in January.

Danley had described him as germophobic and told investigators he had reacted strongly to smells. Paddock told his friends and relatives that he always felt ill, in pain and fatigued, the report said.

His doctor suspected he may have had bipolar disorder but Paddock had refused to discuss that possibility, he doctor told police. The doctor offered him antidepressants but Paddock would only accept a prescription for anxiety medication. Paddock was fearful of medication and often refused to take it, the doctor told investigators.

In addition to ordering The AP and Review-Journal to return copies of Officer Charleston Hartfield's autopsy on Friday, the judge also barred the media organizations from further reporting on the autopsy's details.

The AP was filing an immediate appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court, said Brian Barrett, the news cooperative's assistant general counsel.

The autopsy record was one of 58 that another judge ordered the Clark County coroner's office to release last week to the two news organizations. The redacted documents had case numbers, names, ages, hometowns and racial characteristics of victims blacked out.

[quote]This is because they have not discovered Stephen Paddock's alter personality who actually masterminded the massacre.

How does one discover an "alter" personality? I had no clue that split personality's created their own separate bodies.

r106, the alter has internet foot prints, the alter has records, the alter probably had a secure storage locker, like serial killers, where he operated from. Find that place, that box and the case is closed. The alter knew how to scrub Paddocks life and that is why Paddok left no clues. The alter had been scrubbing him all along.

R107, no offense but you sound nuts.

Yep R108. Unfortunately whenever there is an event such as this one, sooner or later the loons show themselves.

People who believe in the alter thing also believe in cloning of celebrities, MK Ultra, and most importantly Laurel Canyon bullshit.

The police and FBI need to ask the wacky brother and girlfriend if Paddock told them to call him by different name.

Seriously R109? Cloning of celebs and what is the "Laurel Canyon bullshit"?
