Former Friend Of The Las Vegas Gunman Is Baffled

Lisa Crawford knew Stephen Paddock. She was his property manager for years, and even after, they maintained a friendship. She appeared on “Good Morning America” and described the man she once knew, and it doesn’t even sound like the same person. She actually described Paddock as a caring individual who “tried to make people happy.”

I feel sick just writing that.

“He tried to make people happy. He tried to make people care. And I don’t know what happened to him,” she said.

She said she last spoke to him over email a few weeks ago. He was checking in on her to see if she made it through the hurricanes OK.

“I have read them over and over and over again,” Crawford said, referring to the emails. “I’ve even looked at some photos online of, I guess, him and his girlfriend. You know, I was even trying to look into his eyes to see if I saw something that wasn’t normal, you know. No, I didn’t see anything.”

She’s truly at a loss.

“I want closure for these people,” Crawford said. “I can’t believe that the person that I knew would even consider hurting somebody. I want so bad to have answers for people. I want to solve this. I want us to do whatever I can to tell the authorities to look here, look there.”

She’s already talked to the police and FBI. She wants to help as much as possible, but it sounds like she doesn’t have any helpful information.

Crawford said she had an emotional breakdown after the massacre, adding that she feels “guilty” for having known Paddock.

 

“I have cried for those people so many times, I almost feel like I’m out of tears sometimes,” she said. “It could have been my mom, my children.”

I can’t even imagine what’s going through her mind.
