Sheriff Provides Update On The Investigation Into The Las Vegas Massacre: No Motive Has Been Discovered

It’s been months. We still don’t have any substantial answers. It’s odd. And when we don’t have answers, conspiracy theories develop. It’s just reality. You don’t have to believe them, but that’s what happens.

Sheriff Joe Lombardo just updated the world on the latest on the Las Vegas massacre. Just for some perspective, this was his first press conference since Oct. 13, 2017.

First of all, he said no charges would be filed against Stephen Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley. He also said that they discovered “numerous” child pornography photos on computers belonging to Paddock. Not surprising. He’s a sick SOB.

I know what you’re thinking. MOTIVE. What’s the motive? Do they have ANY LEADS on the motive?

Nope.

“I realize it’s been three months since you have received an update on the 1 Oct. shooting,” Lombardo told reporters Friday. “We have done a lot of work trying to piece together what happened.”

The sheriff said investigators “have gone over 2,000 leads and looked at 21,560 hours of video.”

“This report won’t answer every question, or even the biggest question as to why he did what he did,” Lombardo said. “We are all going to have to be patient and let the investigation run its course.”

However, they said there’s still a “person of interest.”

This is so frustrating.

No motive they can safely disclose, that is.

None of this story is making sense at all

I don’t know what to think.
