LAS VEGAS, Nevada (PNN) - October 25, 2017 - A laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock allegedly launched the deadliest mass shooting in Fascist Police States of Amerika history was missing its hard drive, depriving investigators of a potential key source of information on why he supposedly killed and maimed so many people. Paddock is believed to have removed the hard drive before fatally shooting himself, and the missing device has not yet been recovered.
Investigators digging into Paddock’s background also learned he purchased software designed to erase files from a hard drive, but without the hard drive to examine it is impossible to know if he ever used the software, one unnamed source said.
The absence of substantial digital clues has left investigators struggling to piece together what triggered Paddock to kill 58 innocent concertgoers and injure more than 500 others on Oct. 1.
Authorities are examining every aspect of Paddock’s life - from his family, friends and associates to his travel patterns, health and finances. So far, a motive has been elusive to investigators.
The frequent gambler, described as a loner, spent months amassing his arsenal, staying under the radar with no one suspecting he would turn to extreme violence.
His finances did not appear to be a problem and Paddock had settled any debts he had with casinos shortly before the attack, an unnamed source said.
Other mass shooters in the Fascist Police States of Amerika have left behind writings, manifestos, or even videos explaining their actions - however deranged those explanations may have been.
Paddock, however, left behind no such writings or evidence.
Evidence is mounting that Paddock did not act alone, and some evidence even suggests that Paddock did not do the shooting.
