A little new info...
This says she was a long time girlfriend?
His employment[emoji15]
"From 1976 to 1985, Paddock worked U.S. government jobs: as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, an agent for the IRS* and an auditor for U.S. government’s Defense Contract Audit Agency, according to the Office of Personnel Management."

I was on the streetcar a few nights ago and when the part that connects to the wire sparked someone on the car shouted "We're all gonna die!"
O/T but are you here right now?!

Not sure if I heard this correctly, but I think that hotel security got to his door BEFORE the SWAT team and a security guy was shot. If so, it must have been THRU the door? Because the door was breached later by SWAT. Is this correct??? If so, that is probably when SP stopped shooting out the window. JMO

I met a cashier at the Dollar Tree ( love that store ) who was from the Philippines and she was complaining about the taxes for everything here in the US, she said they do not have taxes in the Philippines where she owned a house, so I said yeah look at your roads LOl she agreed, we also talked about how much father a dollar goes in the Philippines so 100 grand over there is like how much here? A lot I would imagine. Wonder if he was setting her up to llive back home, whether or not she knew what he was about to do remains to be seen... She would have been very wealthy with that kind of money.

I read somewhere today that the money was sent to gf and daughter to build a house in Phillipines.

I don't think she knew. I think there are people who are paranoid, on drugs, etc., who do things like that. I live in SF, and from time to time, someone will run down the street during an event yelling that everyone is going to die. I think it's just a creepy coincidence.

I don’t even think it happened. The security company for the festival said they are not aware of this happening.

Does ISIS currently have a presence in the Phillipines?
Yes.

May 29, 2017(CNN)The black flag of ISIS has been raised in the Philippines.





At least 103 people have died in the city of Marawi on the southern island of Mindanao in less than a week as fighters affiliated with the so-called Islamic State engaged in violent clashes with government forces, and martial law was declared over the entire island.

Local resident Chico Usman said the militants had entered the predominantly Muslim city of some 200,000 suddenly, on the afternoon of May 24, wearing masks and carrying assault rifles. "Everybody was shocked and ran into their houses," he said, adding they could hear gunfire and fighting until the following morning.

***Paddock married Stephen’s mother, started a family and had moved to the Southwest by the mid-1950s, according to news reports.

There, he sought work with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, offering to use the mistakes he'd made in his youth to help see youngsters stay "on the straight and narrow," Sheriff Waldon Burr told the Tucson Daily Citizen.

But soon there were bank robberies, and Paddock was suspected of pulling them off. On July 28, 1960, federal authorities arrived at the family home in the 1100 block of North Camino Miraflores and questioned Delores Paddock, the Tucson paper reported.

It may not have. I don't know why someone would make it up. But if it did happen, I don't think the woman was psychic, or had prior knowledge.

I know how my brain processes. I Had to put on a video visually ( I would lose focus on just trying to listen to what I am asking you guys to hear!)

I put on a video of the tragedy killed that sound but listened to this in the background / .

Why do you think he stopped shooting? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he did, but seeing the guns and ammo in the hotel room, he could have fired for a lot longer. CNN said he fired for 9 minutes straight but we know the cops didn’t get there for over an hour. Why do you think he stopped?
Maybe filming himself and whatever he had to say?

I see now... Perhaps her story isn't adding up?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4945686/Las-Vegas-gunman-pictured-family-Philippines.html
"Danley is understood to have told police that their romance began this year."

"Stephen Paddock is pictured with girlfriend Marilou Danley and her family. The photographs were taken in the Philippines in 2013 during a visit to Manila."
"Others show them in a Las Vegas nightclub with friends in 2014."

And I think someone showed earlier she got divorced in 2015. So, either she was protecting herself from being exposed for a relationship since 2012 or 2013 OR she was covering to make it sound like she doesn't know him that well or didn't know of things that were going on. There is no forgetting if you met someone last year or 5 years ago. In any case, she better be 1 trillion percent honest, right now. Let him take the fall for the things he deserves. Lies will only wrap her up more than is warranted. If she played a big part, a small part or no part at all, then that is what she will be held accountable for, if she makes sure she tells the truth.

According to CNN, the FBI has not been able to determine yet where the money was sent or the recipient.

BBM That makes it sound like the DM isn't sure what she told police.

TIMELINE

-There was an excellent article with the details of the timeline. It was recorded verbatim as each LE spoke. I can’t place it at the moment. If anyone has that one please post.
10:08-10:20 is what has been cited most as the timeline.

Here is another, though not as sharp as the other mentioned above.

Have to issue a group-thanks to all who have responded to my questions. I appreciate your time.

True. If this room was 1700+ SQ feet, covering 3 floors with an additional 1000+ SQ ft how much would a weekend cost?

Was the room complementary?

Sure, he could have paid for it.

It sure doesn't sound like he was
losing $$$$. He gambled $160,000
& Sent $100,000 to the Philippines...

"A source familiar with the investigation told NBC News that Paddock was a frequent player "with the highest status" at Caesars Entertainment properties in Las Vegas."

"According to the company's website, the top level for gamblers is Seven Stars Tier Status, which is by invitation only and subject to alteration or cancellation. Privileges include comped rooms, room upgrades, player credits and access to "signature experiences."

It is a little interesting to me that he is a Caesers player and stayed at an MGM property. I play Caesers properties and so I stay at Caesers properties---- the rooms are comped and you stay where you want points. It doesn't mean he wasn't a player at both places, but usually, people have the one they are more loyal to and Caesers was mentioned here. There are tons of Caesers and MGM properties on the strip- most are one or the other. But oddly enough, most at that end are MGM properties. Just something that struck me.

Is there a Caesers property that would have given him the same sort of view and access to the crowds at the concert? I assume he chose Mandalay Bay specifically for that reason. Having the room comped or getting points wasn't important to him this time.

Yes, I believe this is true (you can see bullet holes in the door in one of the pics) but I don’t believe the security guard was there within 9 minutes. I just find it strange that he stopped after 9 minutes. The first 911 call came in at 10:08.

ETA: CNN must be confused because they said shots were for 9 minutes. If he started at 10pm and shots were heard at 10:25pm, obviously that is longer than 9 minutes. Not sure what they were referring to.
