Just a comment: Unsubstantiated but interesting?
I am in Mesquite, NV on a working sabbatical. I have been here since 9-23-17. PAddock lived 12 minutes away by vehicle from where I am currently staying.
My friend who suggested I come here has lived here for 3 years. In that time she informed me today, that Paddock was very often seen at the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite, I had coffee there a week ago. It is a small one level kinda dumpy small town casino ala old town Vegas. She told me Paddock was a degenerate gambler, often drunk and she said the word “leftie”.
Interesting.
A degenerate gambler and drunk would certainly explain why he would spiral down into some sort of depression which ultimately led to his suicide. In the end isn’t this what this is a suicide? As far as him being a lefty? The only thing that makes me think that could be true is his girlfriend’s ex-husband is a pretty out there lefty. Maybe she’s apolitical and her ex husband’s views didn’t matter to her? I don’t know. There doesn’t seem to be much of a social media trail with this Paddock guy.
Maybe a mix of SSRI pills. too?
Interesting.
Some quality sleuthing. Those vid poker fanatics tend to stick together too, talk about streaks and preferred machines. If he was a drunk, he likely spilled his guts on occasion to one or two regulars.
I suspect his girlfriend blew through most of his money then left, perhaps going overseas because she feared him or just wanted to be far away now that she was done with him. Perhaps this is what caused him to want to take himself out in a huge way. Killing other people (and if he was a lefty, then he’d want to kill those on the right) seems to be something bizarre that is done to make someone “pay”.
ABC this AM is reporting that transfers of large amounts of money were made by him to possibly the Philippines.
Girlfriend ‘cannot’ be interviewed until she returns to USA.....
