Thanks for the update.

You would think by now some gum shoe reporter would have found out more info! At least a name! Herridge on now reporting that authorities believe it is some ‘bizarre’ murder plot.

The press can leak NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS...but not the name of the mystery coma dude? Or his friends/family?

WHY NOT RELEASE THE NAME??!!

I have to believe it is SOP...there is also an ongoing investigation. There may also have been put in place a news blackout, even though word is out, so our overburdened LE can see if they can turn up anything....I would truly doubt this is the first case where information was withheld. btw...I typed none of this to antagonize you, FRiend.

Was in Las Vegas all week, and returned this morning.
Some observations and questions:

Virtually NO news locally on this situation last night/this morning. It was mentioned, but in a very cavalier manner.

Security wait at the airport was over 3X what I normally experience on a Friday. I was in the First Class line, which always moves faster. I twice considered going to the regular line. First Class was being targeted for some reason.

With regard to the odd press conference....I believe the woman heading the press conference had an earpiece. She would receive a question from the press, furow her brow as if she was thinking, or trying to find the right words. Then, she’d respond with “we don’t know.” Either they know or they don’t, or they choose not to comment. Why the odd response, multiple times?

Re: Dead dog. I am sure time of death will be determined. But in the meantime, I would say no dog would die of starvation or dehydration without whining, yelping, pawing at the door, or eating the leg off of a table first.

My guess is that someone was taking care of that dog, and that there was probably a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Plus, orders from someone for no maid service.

I would venture a guess that the “friend” of the Coma Man had frequented the room.

Also, VERY odd that the “friend”, upon collecting the Coma Man’s belongings because of eviction proceedings that he chose to point out the Ricin to the manager. That’s what I’d do that if I had to gather belongings for a sick friend....... “I got the toothpaste, the magazines, the clothes, the phone charger......... but there’s these 3 vials of unidentified substances....” As Judge Judy says, if it doesn’t make sense, it isn’t true.”

Curious, also, as to why the manager felt it necessary to call the cops on the unidentified substance. Managers in LV have seen it all, and most likely would figure it was cocaine. My guess: the “friend” alerted the manager that he was scared #&$less of what was in the room.
