The under-sheriff answered a lot of press questions today and confirmed that:
1. LE has already reviewed the surveillance video of Paddock's room, but they're going over all the surveillance from the entire casino.
2. There is no indication that anyone visited Paddock.
3. LE is confident that there was only one shooter, regardless of public speculation and alternate theories.
4. LE is investigating every inch of Paddock's life to determine if anybody else knew anything about his plans or could offer helpful insight into the man.
5. LE doesn't know if Paddock was planning to use the 50 pounds of Tannerite found in his car at the casino for target practice or instead to possibly have the car blow up if he managed to escape and the car was shot. The under-sheriff said the Tannerite was found in its original form, not in the form of an IED (in response to a reporter's question).
7. There's no evidence that anyone used Paddock's room key while Paddock was in his car (in response to a reporter's question which seemed to come from on-line speculations).
8. No connection to Islamic or other extremism has turned up in LE's intensive search of Paddock's communications and devices, despite ISIS's claims.
9. No manifesto or suicide note was left. The note seen in the room photo had only numbers on it; analysts are trying to figure out what it means (if anything).
It's also come out in the press over the last two days that Paddock was on Valium, his girlfriend says he would sometimes wake up screaming, he took a whole lot of cruises to various countries, his brothers (like their father) have had some trouble with the law, he was always focused on money and ate lunch at the local senior center regularly for $3.50 despite reportedly being wealthy, he was rather anti-social, he'd looked into rooms at a couple of music festivals aside from Highway 91 and Life is Beautiful over the last several weeks, and LE still hasn't found anything to help them determine motive.
