Here’s a crazy theory about why the chatter ended:

It ended. There’s nothing more to discuss.

Paddock was a “Dr Jekyll / Mr Hyde” case, a wealthy guy who took pains to look entirely respectable, while maintaining an isolated dark private life. Maybe he pulled off a few “perfect crimes” for which there is no evidence. Over time he snapped, decided to go out in a blaze of glory just for the hell of it, and did so.

Most of the ongoing chatter around other cases is re-hashing conspiratorial BS. If there really was a conspiracy to uncover, great - but most of what I’ve seen over decades is idiots hell-bent on “discovering the truth” and blathering endlessly.

Possibly true; sometimes evil acts just for the sake of evil, and ordinary motivations are irrelevant. Christians should understand that better than liberal secularists, for whom everything must have some sort of political motive.

Still, if it appears like a motiveless crime, the authorities should say so.
