A person who can provide more details on Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock is his live-in girlfriend, Marilou Danley, who was cleared as a “person of interest” on Sunday—hours after Paddock shot and killed 59 people from his hotel vantage point.
He added there was “no official confirmation yet on her nationality, original or acquired.” Danley was described as an Australian national who is originally from the Philippines.
Danley worked as a “high limit hostess” at Atlantis Casino in Reno from 2010 to 2013, Fox reported.
Danley was originally married to Arkansas Geary Danley and they divorced two years ago. A person who was listed as a witness in the divorce said she’s not connected with Paddock’s behavior.
Paddock was not known to have served in the military, to have suffered from a history of mental illness, or to have registered any inkling of social disaffection, political discontent or radical views on social media.
“He was a sick man, a demented man,” President Donald Trump told reporters. “Lot of problems, I guess, and we’re looking into him very, very seriously, but we’re dealing with a very, very sick individual”
“We have no idea what his belief system was,” Sheriff Lombardo told reporters on Monday. “I can’t get into the mind of a psychopath.”
