Snipped:

'Out of concern for our employee's safety, we provided a room for him. This was a very unusual circumstance, and our first and only concern was his safety.'

He added: 'He went from being a private citizen with no attention to suddenly being in the spotlight, and it was overwhelming while he was trying to recover from the tragedy.'

Police had visited Campos at the hospital and given him the all-clear for a pre-planned and company-approved trip to Mexico, which he took shortly after the shooting.

-iirc he was released early that same morning?
 
Answering my own question. I forgot about the Reno property. This article also mentions another that was sold in December.

"Paddock, 64, bought the home in the Sierra Canyon by Del Webb neighborhood in Somersett in June 2013, according to the Washoe County Assessor’s Office. He also owned a unit at The Montage on Sierra Street, which he purchased in 2012 and sold this past December.

According to neighbors, Paddock lived with Marilou Danley, 62, at the Somersett house.

Neighbor Susan Page described the two as “closet people” who “kept to themselves.”

“I never saw them,” she said of her neighbors on Del Webb Parkway.

Page, 68, moved here from Texas in July. A few weeks later, she said she saw Danley pack up her car and leave.

She said the house has been empty since."

Who is in charge of the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay shooting investigation?

"The LVMPD has robots that have been used in prior incidents involving barricaded suspects, which the Sheriff said this incident turned into because Paddock had stopped firing on the crowd. If the police believed the room may have been booby-trapped why wasn’t a robot used. The police saw the cameras on the room service cart, yet SWAT officer, Levi Hancock still approached the gunman’s door to fasten the explosive for the breach."

This is from Time, printed Oct 4th. According to the Sheriff's latest comments, the Professor was on the right track.


"Paddock was a white male—which makes him typical of mass shooters in America, according to reports compiled by Mother Jones and a 2014 study of American mass murderers by Eric Madfis, a University of Washington-Tacoma sociology professor.

However, Paddock differed from the typical mass shooter profile in at least two ways. First, he was older—the average age of mass shooters in the Mother Jones study was 35, and the vast majority of American mass shooters are between the ages of 20 and 49.

Paddock also appears to have been quite wealthy, which is unusual for mass shooters. Madfis’s research indicates that “downward mobility” seems to be one of the factors that drives disturbed individuals toward senseless acts of violence, theorizing that “the performance of a violent massacre provides an illegitimate opportunity for entitled white men to regain lost status and forge a powerful, successful, masculine identity through infamy.”.........

........Medfis told Seeker.com that Paddock’s high-stakes gambling habit is noteworthy. While Paddock’s apparent wealth makes him atypical of mass shooters, “he was also a prolific gambler, so it would not surprise me at all to learn that he recently suffered a significant financial loss,” Medfis said. “That said, mass killers do not just ‘snap.’”

The public has the right to know what happened that night. Transparency, not secrecy is needed in this investigation."

-Agree!
Is the FBI in complete control of the investigation?

MGM spokesman Alan Feldman and Campos’ lawyer Frank Flansburg III told the Review-Journal that Campos has been staying at the unnamed hotel for his own protection, citing intense media scrutiny.

Both Feldman and Flansburg declined to comment Tuesday on Campos' employment status.

'We don’t speak about individual employees in the public realm,' the MGM official told the paper.

Campos was the first person to confront Paddock on the night of the music festival massacre, which left him with three gunshot wounds to the leg.

A month after the incident, however, there are still lingering questions about the timeline of the shooting, which has changed several times.

It is still unclear whether Paddock shot Campos before firing on the country music festival, or during the rampage.

MGM officials and Campos himself have been tight-lipped about the exact sequence of events, and the convalescing security guard has been kept away from the media, save for one public appearance on a daytime talk show.

Campos accepted the paid hotel stay for his own protection after he was identified on Oct. 4 as the officer shot by the gunman, his lawyer, Frank Flansburg III, and MGM Resorts spokesman Alan Feldman confirmed last week.

Both Feldman, an MGM Resorts senior vice president, and Flansburg declined to comment Tuesday on the security officer’s return to work.
“We don’t speak about individual employees in the public realm,” said Feldman, whose company operates Mandalay Bay and 12 other resorts on the Strip.

Flansburg added, “I’m not at liberty to comment on his current employment status.”

Campos was shot in the hall outside the suite from which the gunman opened fire. Campos is considered a central witness in the criminal investigation into the shooting and in civil lawsuits against MGM Resorts and other companies connected to the shooting.

His account of the horrific Oct. 1 events became the subject of national media attention after Las Vegas police made multiple changes to the sequence of events in the shooting. Campos then disappeared from public view.

Flansburg told the Review-Journal last week that Campos had spent most of his time staying at an undisclosed MGM property since his name became public, except for several days in Mexico on a pre-planned and company-approved trip to visit family.

“Following the tragedy, Mr. Campos’ name was publicly released, resulting in extensive and intrusive media attention,” Flansburg said. “Because of the unwanted attention days after the event, MGM Resorts offered Mr. Campos lodging for his privacy and protection, which Mr. Campos accepted and appreciated.”

Law enforcement officers interviewed Campos at a hospital and approved his trip to Mexico, Flansburg said.

Campos was the first to encounter gunman Stephen Paddock at his Mandalay Bay suite. Campos appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last month after he had dodged planned interviews with five news programs. It has been his only public interview.

Campos was also expected to receive a subpoena to testify on the timeline of the shooting and other circumstances surrounding the attack, KSNV-TV reported Monday.

He will be given the subpoena by an attorney for Rachel Sheppard, a 26-year-old from California who was shot three times in the attack, the station reported. Sheppard is one of six plaintiffs who have filed lawsuits related to the attack, according to the New Yorker.

-I think this is a very good statement about ‘informing the public”.


Snipped:

“That evidence is crucial to informing the public about one of the “most devastating events” in Las Vegas, the petition states”

Because authorities have said the gunman acted alone, there is no valid reason to keep the documents secret, the petition states.

“Under the circumstances, there is no compelling state interest that overrides the pubic’s constitutionally guaranteed right of access to the records,“ the petition says.

“Notwithstanding the frequent press conferences that Las Vegas and federal authorities conducted in the immediate aftermath of the massacre, now, a full month later, significant questions remain unanswered about the shooter’s actions and the response of public agencies,” the petition says.
 
“Flansburg told the Review-Journal last week that Campos had spent most of his time staying at an undisclosed MGM property since his name became public, except for several days in Mexico on a pre-planned and company-approved trip to visit family”

-I’m trying to piece this together.
“Flansburg” is Campos attorney. How many days was he in Mexico on a “pre-planned “AND” “company-approved” trip to visit family?

-Wow!!! This is a detailed report from a military veteran, former LE, criminal investigator ‘Doug Poppa’.

-This is the best I have seen on the unanswered questions.

-Snipped from the above article: it’s voluminous.


“Question those in authority and never rest until we get to the truth.

Those in power have the power because we gave that to them. They work for the people. We owe them nothing, they owe us the truth.

Never forget those who were slaughtered and wounded on October 1, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada”


“Lombardo said that Paddock wasn’t seen in the presence of any other individual. The key word here is seen. Again, that is not conclusive.

Answering a question concerning whether MGM Resorts International gave him any contributions to his campaign when he ran for sheriff, Lombardo responded that MGM did not support him, that they supported the other guy.

What Lombardo failed to mention was that according to public records, on December 9, 2016 he received $10,000 from MGM Resorts International for his re-election campaign. Under Nevada law that is the maximum amount allowed for contributions to a political candidate”

-Snipped:

“As if the Las Vegas shooting story needed to become even more Delphic, the Country Music Awards issued guidelines this week threatening to revoke the credentials – ‘via security escort’ no less – of any journalist who asks about the shooting, gun rights or politics at the Nov. 8 Country Music Awards in Nashville”

That draconian edict comes nearly five weeks after the massacre, when many of the basic facts of the case remain a mystery. The timeline of the attack is still in dispute. So is the whereabouts of key witness Jesus Campos, the Mandalay Bay security guard who was shot either before or during the massacre, depending on who you believe.

After suddenly vanishing last month, Campos re-emerged on NBC’s Ellen for a short, oddly staged interview that was uncomfortable to watch and offered no new insights on the case. Campos has yet to answer a single question from a journalist. He is reportedly in hiding at a location owned by Mandalay Bay’s parent company, MGM Resorts International.

There’s more to this than just a missing security guard. Listen to J. Keith Moyer, editor of the city’s hometown paper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal (RJ): “We’ve had three different scenarios as far as the timeline goes. I really don’t know whether we’ve got the right one yet. We’ve asked for 911 tapes and autopsy records — they aren’t giving them to us. There are no regular briefings. The authorities have pretty much clammed up.’

(Snip)

Lombardo told KLAS-TV, Channel 8, that Paddock’s wealth fluctuated because of gambling, real estate transactions and “everything else that he chose to do.” Paddock lost a large amount of money after September 2015, the sheriff said.
Lombardo speculated that the financial losses might have contributed to Paddock’s decision to spray a country music festival with bullets, killing 58 people and injuring more than 500 others.

Here is the full 1 hour video interview with Lombardo.
