One reason for the hemming and hawing about whether the offspring of an A++ lister in a foreign country will attempt to take the place of the A++ lister is because the spotlight will expose her ties to the Las Vegas shooter.

New details emerge about Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock and girlfriend Marilou Danley

FBI agents spent Wednesday questioning Marilou Danley, the longtime girlfriend of the Las Vegas gunman and considered an integral key by authorities trying to understand what drove Stephen Paddock to open fire from his casino hotel room.

Paddock killed at least 58 people and injured more than 500 on the Las Vegas Strip before killing himself. Danley was in the Philippines at the time of the attack and arrived in Los Angeles late Tuesday. She was met by FBI agents at the airport and questioned Wednesday.

After being questioned, Danley said in a statement that she had no clue about his plans to carry out the massacre and pledged to cooperate with authorities struggling to determine what sparked the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

“I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man,” said Danley in a statement read by her lawyer Matthew Lombard, a criminal defense attorney. “He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.” – Source

Las Vegas massacre distresses Filipino family in Cavite

DASMARIÑAS CITY — The gambler who shot and killed 58 people watching a concert on the Las Vegas Strip from his high-rise hotel room has also distressed the family of a 66-year-old faith healer in this city in Cavite province thousands of kilometers away.

Reynaldo Bustos only has an accidental link to the shooter Stephen Paddock — his younger sister, Marilou Danley — the killer’s 62-year-old girlfriend whom he had met in a casino in Reno, Nevada.

US authorities, who had initially tagged Danley as a person of interest, said Paddock had sent her to the Philippines to visit her family before he went on his rampage. Paddock also wired $100,000 to her while she was here, they said.

Paddock apparently killed himself before the Las Vegas police stormed his hotel room, leaving his motive for the massacre a mystery to US investigators.

They patiently waited for Danley to shed some light. She returned to the United States from the Philippines on Tuesday and was immediately whisked away from the airport by FBI agents, who gave her time to rest before they interviewed her, according the US media reports.

She has issued a statement saying she was unaware of his plans and she also expressed sympathy for the victims. – Source
