#stephen paddock

wrong ear shape - in the photos of stephen online, you can clearly see he has a connected ear lobe. however, in the leaked photo of his corpse, the earlobe is unattached. ears are unique to the person and the only way this would be possible would be due to injury, which it is very obvious did not happen. this is not stephen’s dead body.

advanced livor mortis at time of breach- livor mortis is extremely visible on the body when the officers breach the hotel room, (livor mortis is “the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin caused by blood settling in the lowest (dependent) parts of a body due to gravity after circulation ceases”), showing signs the body had been dead for 6-8 hours. the room was breached at around 11:30, only about an 1:15~1:30 after the shooting had ended. the purple line would not be this noticeable, even on black and white images, after such a short duration of time.

no official estimated time of death was recorded on the autopsy report, which is extremely odd considering the situation and how major it was.

reportedly, the original time of death on the autopsy was 8 hours before the shooting started. this was later removed and changed to 11:30~

autopsy report also claims that the body is 6’1, had brown eyes, no scar on the back, brown moles on back, which is incorrect to stephen paddock.

The FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit’s Las Vegas Review Panel has completed a final investigation into the October 1st, 2017 shooting committed by Stephen Paddock. These are the 10 Key Findings:

The LVRP found no evidence that Paddock’s attack was motivated by any ideological or political beliefs. The LVRP concludes that Paddock’s attack was neither directed, inspired, nor enabled by ideologically-motivated persons or groups. Paddock was not seeking to further any religious, social, or political agenda through his actions. The LVRP further assesses that Paddock conspired with no one; he acted alone. 

The LVRP concludes that there was no single or clear motivating factor behind Paddock’s attack. Throughout his life, Paddock went to great lengths to keep his thoughts private, and that extended to his final thinking about this mass murder. Active shooters rarely have a singular motive or reason for engaging in a mass homicide. More often their motives are a complex merging of developmental issues, interpersonal relationships, clinical issues, and contextual stressors. The LVRP assesses that in this regard, Paddock was no different.

Investigators found no manifesto, video, suicide note, or other communication (hidden, encrypted, coded, or otherwise) relating to the planned attack or explaining his reason for attacking. However, an important aspect of the attack was Paddock’s desire to die by suicide. As he grew older, Paddock became increasingly distressed and intolerant of stimuli while simultaneously failing to navigate common life stressors affiliated with aging. The LVRP assesses that Paddock experienced an objective (and subjective) decline in physical and mental health, level of functioning, and financial status over the last several years of his life. In reaction to this decline, Paddock concluded that he would seek to control the ending of his life via a suicidal act. His inability or unwillingness to perceive any alternatives to this ending influenced his decision to attack. 

The LVRP concludes that Paddock’s intention to die by suicide was compounded by his desire to attain a certain degree of infamy via a mass casualty attack. In this aspect, the LVRP believes that Paddock was influenced by the memory of his father, who was himself a well-known criminal. Paddock’s father created a façade to mask his true criminal identity and hide his diagnosed psychopathic history, and in so doing ultimately achieved significant criminal notoriety.

The LVRP assesses that Paddock displayed minimal empathy throughout his life and primarily viewed others through a transactional lens of costs and benefits. Paddock’s decision to murder people while they were being entertained was consistent with his personality. He had a history of exploiting others through manipulation and duplicity, sometimes resulting in a cruel deprivation of their expectations without warning.

Exhaustive investigations by the LVMPD and the FBI yielded no indication that Paddock’s attack was motivated by a grievance against any specific casino, hotel, or institution in Las Vegas; the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino; the Route 91 Harvest Festival; or against anyone killed or injured during the attack. Paddock’s exploration of other potential sites suggests that his final selection was based on the identification of a tactically-advantageous location from which to attack. His selected position in a hotel room on the 32nd floor enabled Paddock to shoot at a densely-packed crowd of unsuspecting and vulnerable people. Further, it provided sufficient privacy for Paddock to prepare for and execute the attack, all within driving distance of his residence in Mesquite.

Throughout his life, Paddock displayed an ability to devote significant time, focused attention, and energy to specific hobbies or projects of interest. Once Paddock decided to attack, he characteristically devoted time, attention, and energy to the shooting. Paddock engaged in detailed preparations for the attack, including a year-long burst of firearms and ammunition acquisition. The planning and preparation – in and of itself – was likely satisfying to Paddock as it provided a sense of direction and control despite his mental and physical decline. He engaged in significant, methodical, Internet-based research regarding site selection, police tactics and response, and ballistics. Paddock conducted in-person site surveillance and engaged in end-of-life planning. Despite Paddock’s research, planning, and preparation, the LVRP found no evidence that he communicated his intent to commit an attack to others or that anyone was aware of his objective. This finding is consistent with Paddock’s personality and private nature.

There is no evidence that Paddock planned for or sought to escape the Mandalay Bay hotel room after the attack. Further, the LVRP assesses that Paddock took multiple, calculated steps to insure that he could commit suicide at a time and in a manner of his choosing. This included the use of surveillance cameras to alert Paddock to approaching police responders and his decision to bring one handgun (a .38 caliber revolver) which he used to commit suicide. The LVRP assesses that Paddock accelerated the timing of his attack on the Route 91 Harvest Festival based on his perception that a security/law enforcement response to his room was imminent.

Prior to the attack, Paddock maintained interpersonal relationships and was not completely isolated. He appeared to demonstrate authentic concern and responsibility for his girlfriend and certain family members while sustaining amicable relationships with previous intimate partners. Paddock’s declining mental and physical condition, stressors, and concerning behaviors in the years leading up to the attack were observed by others although not interpreted as indicative of preparation for a mass casualty attack.

The LVRP’s Key Findings illustrate that Paddock was, in many ways, similar to other active shooters the FBI has studied. Research conducted by the FBI indicates that active shooters typically experience an average of 3.6 stressors prior to an attack and display an average of 4.7 concerning behaviors to others. Additionally, 21% of active shooters studied by the FBI had no identifiable grievance or the grievance was unknown prior to their attack. More than half lived with someone else and 48% had suicidal ideation or engaged in suicide-related behaviors at some point prior to the attack.

Most people stay at hotels for lavish vacations or to spend time with family. For 64 year old Stephan Paddock, the story is much different. On Monday September 25th, Stephan checked into the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He rented Suite 135, a suite on the very corner of the building and the adjoining room. He brought no suitcases the first night, only one small backpack. Stephan spent the next two hours eating at a sushi restaurant in the hotel and playing electronic poker in the casino. Stephan already knew some staff that worked there due to previous visits and every once in awhile stopped to speak to one. At 5 P.M, He drove his Crystler Pacific minivan to the valet parking. The bellman packed five suitcases onto a carry cart and allowed Stephan to follow him onto the service elevator to take his bags to his room. Stephan and his bags disappear into his room for the next four hours, reappearing again at 9:40 that night. Carrying two suitcases with him, he makes the one hour long drive to his home in Mesquite, Nevada. Thanks to cell phone records collected from nearby cell towers, we know that he spent the night and most of the following day here. Around 8 p.m Tuesday night, Paddock returns to Las Vegas. He stops at The Ogden, a condominium complex located downtown. Records show that he had also been renting rooms there for a week, checking in the first time on Friday the 22nd. In the streets surrounding this hotel, a festival named the Life is Beautiful festival was to be held. Paddock’s internet records revealed that he searched for the lineup of that festival as well as the expected attendance. Later Tuesday night, he returns to the Mandalay hotel and a different bellman escorts Paddock and seven more suitcases to his suite. Once in the hotel, he spends the entire night in the casino gambling until morning arrives. He spends most of Wednesday in his room and that evening repeats a similar pattern. Paddock leaves the Mandalay carrying two suitcases, stops at The Ogden, and travels to his home in Mesquite. On Thursday, he purchases a .308 bolt action rifle from a gun store 5 miles from his house. He also visits a shooting range before driving back to the Mandalay. That night, with the help of a bellman, Paddock carries a white container and three additional suitcases to his room. He gambles the night away. It is now Friday, and the Route 91 festival is set to open in the Fairgrounds across from the Mandalay Bay hotel.

Paddock stays in his room until about 3 P.M and then checks into the adjoining room using the name of his girlfriend, Marylou Danley. When cleaning staff come to clean his original room, he instructs them to leave behind the food service cart, this is later used in addition to another to set up a camera surveillance system during his attack. Overnight, he makes a brief trip to Mesquite, arriving back at the Mandalay at 6 A.M with two more suitcases. Soon after noon on Saturday, he places Do Not Disturb signs on both suite doors and goes through valet again, carrying two more suitcases. He gambles some more and that night, makes his last trip to Mesquite. He returns to the Mandalay hotel at 3 A.M Sunday morning and gambles some more before returning to his room at 7:37 A.M. He makes another trip to his car at noon, returning with two more suitcases and a smaller bag. In the last week, he has brought at least 21 suitcases, a white container, two smaller bags, and a laptop case into the hotel. At 8:24 P.M, Paddock locks and deadbolts the door in his original room, Suite 135. Four minutes later, the headliner of the Route 91 festival, Jason Aldean, begins his performance. Paddock locks the door to his adjoining room, Suite 134. He begins his shooting rampage at 10:05. In the next 10 minutes, Stephan Paddock manages to kill 58 people and injuring over 700, before taking his own life.

In his room, police found 23 guns and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
