There are several key omissions in the report.

  1. A witness reported seeing Paddock with an unnamed Asian female prior to the shooting. She was described as between 4’11” and 5’2” with no description of her age or height. When pressed for details the witness shrugged and said she looked Asian. No photos of her were mentioned despite pervasive CCTV.

  2. Paddock had 4 cell phones and a note to “unplug phones”. 3 of those phones warranted paragraphs about how many contacts they had etc. 1 phone, (310) 357-3358, received zero elaboration. Also the note to “unplug phones” is never shown. Comparing handwriting to his bullet drop notepad could be interesting.

  3. Upper floors. It never occurs to SWAT breaching the “L” bracket from below that they could enter the floor from above. The possibility of any additional persons escaping to higher floors is never considered. 1 hour passed between the end of a heat signature and SWAT’s breach.

  4. Heat detection. At 2218 there were no more heat signatures detected in 32-135. There is no mention of any heat signatures in 32-134.

Reflections:

While these reports were obviously part of a coverup there is useful information buried inside. Paddock was clearly prepared to host a meeting. There was plenty of time to escape upward. Campos, Schuck, and O’Donnell were key figures in the action considering they all made key decisions, witnessed important actions, and provided plausible answers to weird issues.

I strongly suspect Stephen Paddock was set up. The bullet drop math on the notepad is never compared to the “unplug phones” note. His google searches are basically “how do I do a big shooting” which seem a little convenient. Also the contents of his laptop and 4th phone are completely ignored, but we’re given a juicy tidbit about his illegal pornography collection. Paddock had few friends, strong opinions, and shunned publicity. His family all provided that he was probably insane, with Eric Paddock providing the most animated testimony.

As with many official coverups the official report doesn’t even stand up against itself.
