New information re: Las Vegas shootings case

ABC News is reporting that

A laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was missing its hard drive, depriving investigators of a potential key source of information on why he killed and maimed so many people, ABC News has learned.

Paddock is believed to have removed the hard drive before fatally shooting himself, and the missing device has not yet been recovered, sources told ABC News.

Ace of Spades speculates,

The obvious explanation is that there was a second person in the room who left after Paddock killed himself or who killed Paddock himself, and then fled.

Now, there are other possibilities. Maybe Paddock got rid of the hard drive some time before, but then why keep the computer?

And even if he did get rid of the hard drive himself — if he was planning on killing himself, what was he protecting? What was on that hard drive?

On Laura Loomer’s Twitter site we learn more. Paddock’s brother Bruce has been arrested by a joint FBI and LAPD task force on charges of child pornography. More? Tucker Carlson is reporting that security guard Jesus Campos (not a licensed security guard) left for Mexico in a rental car (bullet in leg).
