According to a <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/las-vegas-shooter-booked-hotel-overlooking-lollapalooza-visited/story?id=50273390">report</a> from ABC News, Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock was seen with a mystery woman in the days leading up to his deadly attack on a Las Vegas country music festival, where 58 people were killed and nearly 500 others were injured.
&#8220;Officials briefed on the investigation told ABC News that investigators believe Paddock was seen with another woman, who was not his girlfriend, in the days before Sunday night&#8217;s shooting,&#8221; says the ABC report.
As noted by the network, the woman was not <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21912/las-vegas-shooters-girlfriend-marilou-danley-heres-james-barrett">Marilou Danley</a>, a 62-year-old woman who has been identified by police officers as Paddock&#8217;s girlfriend.
Danley was located in the Philippines after the attack, apparently &#8220;sent&#8221; there by Paddock two weeks prior to the largest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. On Tuesday night, she landed in the states and spoke to the FBI for a reported five hours.
Danley has been labeled as a &#8220;person of interest&#8221; by Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo and maintains she&#8217;s innocent, completely unaware of the murderous plot.
According to the ABC report, investigators have yet to identify the mystery woman seen with Paddock, but &#8220;are interested in speaking with her to find out whether she has any insight.&#8221;
Some of Danley&#8217;s statements to the FBI have been revealed in recent reports, including her description of Paddock as showing <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21997/las-vegas-shooters-girlfriend-describes-his-james-barrett">symptoms of mental health issues</a>.

Report: Vegas Shooter Seen With Mystery Woman Before Attack

Las Vegas Shooting

Marilou Danley

According to pieces of her testimony leaked to the press, <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21912/las-vegas-shooters-girlfriend-marilou-danley-heres-james-barrett">Marilou Danley,</a> the live-in girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, has provided some disturbing details about the man who is responsible for committing the most deadly mass shooting in the history of the country.
Maintaining that she knew nothing whatsoever about his plans to carry out a massacre, Danley, 62, reportedly told investigators that Paddock had been exhibiting &#8220;mental health symptoms.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/vegas-shooter-s-girlfriend-says-he-would-lie-bed-moaning-n808156">NBC News</a>, two former FBI officials &#8220;briefed on the matter&#8221; say that Danley told investigators that Paddock would sometimes lie in bed &#8220;moaning and screaming.&#8221;
&#8220;She said he would lie in bed, just moaning and screaming, &#8216;Oh my God,'&#8221; the sources told NBC.
According to the network, the sources say investigators believe Paddock &#8220;may have been in physical or mental anguish.&#8221; However, two FBI officials told NBC that they have not yet been able to identify a clear motive &#8212; and do not believe that his mental health issues &#8220;had deteriorated to a point that would have triggered him to commit such an act.&#8221;
The Las Vegas Journal-Review reported Wednesday that Paddock was prescribed and filled the <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21923/report-las-vegas-shooter-was-prescribed-anti-james-barrett">anti-anxiety medication</a> diazepam in June; the same doctor prescribed the drug to Paddock the previous year. Diazepam can have potentially dangerous side effects, including aggressive behavior, decreased inhibitions, unusual risk-taking behavior, and suicidal thoughts.
Other reports have indicated that Paddock at times exhibited some <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21995/report-las-vegas-casino-officials-reveal-mass-emily-zanotti">&#8220;bizarre&#8221; behavior</a> in public, including an extreme aversion to dust and allergens.
In a <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/04/us/marilou-danley-vegas-shooting-paddock/index.html">statement </a>issued through her attorney Wednesday afternoon, Danley said it &#8220;never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.&#8221; Paddock, she said, &#8220;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.&#8221;
&#8220;I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I loved him and hoped for a quiet future together with him.&#8221;
Echoing claims made by her sisters in an interview earlier this week, Danley said that about two weeks before his trip to Las Vegas, Paddock bought her a plane ticket to the Philippines, where she had been visiting with family until she returned to the States this week.
While she was there, he wired $100,000 to an account, which Danley says he told her was intended for her so she could purchase a house for herself and her family. She said his actions &#8220;worried&#8221; her because she thought he might be &#8220;breaking up&#8221; with her.
According to Danley&#8217;s attorney and sources, she is fully cooperating with investigators.

Las Vegas Shooter’s Girlfriend Describes His Disturbing Behavior

According to a new report, the 25,000 concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival were not the only targets of Stephen Paddock on Sunday night. From his perch in his hotel room on the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay hotel and casino, Paddock fired rounds at two massive jet fuel tanks located about 2,000 feet from his location.
The <a href="https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/the-strip/las-vegas-strip-shooter-targeted-aviation-fuel-tanks-source-says/">Las Vegas Review-Journa</a>l reported Wednesday night that a &#8220;knowledgeable source&#8221; had revealed that large, cylindrical aviation fuel tanks were targeted by Paddock:
<blockquote>
The bullets left two holes in one of two circular white tanks. One of the bullets penetrated the tank, but did not cause a fire or explosion near the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, another knowledgeable source said late Wednesday.
The tanks are roughly 1,100 feet from the concert site, where Paddock killed 58 people and wounded almost 500.
</blockquote>
The Review-Journal reports that a construction crew has already provided the necessary repairs. Meanwhile, the FBI were able to confirm that the bullets had indeed come from Paddock&#8217;s room, some 2,000 feet away.
When the paper reached out for comment, the FBI declined, a spokeswoman saying they &#8220;can&#8217;t comment on an ongoing investigation.&#8221;
Reports have been streaming in over the last few days revealing more details about Paddock&#8217;s meticulously planned massacre. Authorities have revealed that he placed cameras both inside his hotel room and in the hall. He had also managed to carry up almost two-dozen guns, including &#8220;bump stocks,&#8221; which enable semiautomatic weapons to fire more rapidly.
A search of his home in Reno turned up another seven guns. Officials say Paddock purchased 33 guns over the last year.
Authorities still have not provided any motive for Paddock&#8217;s actions. The portrait painted so far is one of an extremely wealthy man, who was an avid gambler. He appears to have also been on <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21923/report-las-vegas-shooter-was-prescribed-anti-james-barrett">anxiety medication</a> for at least a year.
His family has expressed shock that he was capable of such an act; his brother has described him as apolitical and non-religious. His only guess at what happened is that Paddock for some reason &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21793/vegas-shooters-brother-he-snapped-james-barrett">snapped</a>.&#8221; Paddock&#8217;s <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21817/las-vegas-shooters-psychopathic-father-was-fbis-james-barrett">criminal father</a> appears to have had psychological issues.
Paddock&#8217;s live-in girlfriend, <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21912/las-vegas-shooters-girlfriend-marilou-danley-heres-james-barrett">Marilou Danley</a>, is a person of interest in the investigation. On Wednesday, she flew back willingly to the States from the Philippines, where she had been staying for the last two weeks, Paddock having purchased a plane ticket for her. In an interview, her sisters insisted she knew nothing about his murderous intentions and suggested that he &#8220;sent her away&#8221; so he could carry out his horrific plan.

REPORT: Las Vegas Shooter Also Targeted Aviation Fuel Tanks

On Tuesday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo revealed that Marilou Danley, the live-in girlfriend of Las Vegas Shooter Stephen Paddock, was a &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/21905/las-vegas-sheriff-paddocks-girlfriend-person-james-barrett">person of interest</a>&#8221; in the investigation and was being brought back to the United States from the Philippines, where she had traveled two weeks before her boyfriend committed the most deadly mass shooting in the history of the country. On Wednesday, Danley, 62, arrived in Los Angeles, having reportedly traveled back voluntarily to &#8220;clear her name.&#8221;
Here is what we know so far about Danley.
1. Paddock bought her a ticket to the Philippines two weeks before the shooting.
According to multiple reports and interviews with Danley&#8217;s sisters, Paddock purchased a &#8220;cheap ticket&#8221; to her home country, the Philippines, about two weeks before he went on his rampage. In an <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooter-sent-girlfriend-marilou-danley-away-spare-her-n807341">interview</a> with Australia&#8217;s Channel 7 (video below), the sisters, who both live in Australia and spoke on condition of anonymity, suggested Paddock &#8220;sent her away&#8221; so he could carry out his heinous act.
&#8220;She didn&#8217;t even know that she was going to the Philippines until Steve said &#8216;Marilou, I found you a cheap ticket to the Philippines,'&#8221; one of the women said. &#8220;She was sent away. She was [sent] away so that she will not be there to interfere with what he&#8217;s planning &#8230; so that he can plan what he is planning without interruptions.&#8221;
2. Paddock wired $100,000 to an account in the Philippines. 
During the week leading up to the massacre, Paddock wired $100,000 dollars to an account in the Phillipines, where Danley was visiting her family since September 22 after he had purchased her a ticket. While it appears that the money was meant for Danley or her family, officials say they have not confirmed the purpose of the transfer.
3. Reports that Danley lived a &#8220;double life&#8221; are false.
A report by <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/marilou-danley-gunmans-girlfriend-social-security-number-677033">Newsweek</a> that Danley &#8220;has used two Social Security numbers during her two-plus decades in the United States, and was married to two men at the same time&#8221; has been retracted.
Newsweek originally described her life as &#8220;convoluted,&#8221; and alleged that she married a man while still being married to another, went through a bankruptcy, gave conflicting information in government records, and lived in multiple addresses in several states, some of them simultaneously. However, the publication retracted the story on Wednesday. Here is the <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/marilou-danley-gunmans-girlfriend-social-security-number-677033">retraction</a>:
<blockquote>
Newsweek has retracted its story that reviewed the public records of Marilou Danley, the girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.
The initial report was based on many public records, but included an error that came to light after publication when a family member came forward.
</blockquote>
4. Danley was &#8220;in love&#8221; with Paddock.
According to her sisters, Danley was &#8220;in love&#8221; with Paddock. The two women made the claim during their <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooter-sent-girlfriend-marilou-danley-away-spare-her-n807341">interview</a> with Australia&#8217;s Channel 7. They insisted she was completely unaware of his intentions to carry out mass murder.
One of the sisters suggested Marilou &#8220;probably was even [more] shocked than us because she is &#8230; closer to him than us. To be able to find out [that] the person you love and live with can do such a thing. And you thought you knew the person yourself.&#8221;
The other sister <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4946882/Girlfriend-Las-Vegas-shooter-meet-FBI-LAX.html">stressed </a>that Marilou is &#8220;a good person and a gentle soul &#8230; a mother, grandmother, a sister, a friend.&#8221;
The sisters maintain that Marilou would have stopped Paddock had she known what he was doing.
&#8220;No one can put the puzzles together. No one except Marilou. Because Steve is not here to talk anymore. Only Marilou can maybe help,&#8221; said one of the sisters.
5. Danley voluntarily returned to the U.S. to &#8220;clear her name.&#8221;
According to a police official, Danley voluntarily returned to the United States in order to &#8220;<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4946882/Girlfriend-Las-Vegas-shooter-meet-FBI-LAX.html">clear her name</a>.&#8221;
Below is the interview with Danley&#8217;s sisters via NBC News:

This article has been updated to include Newsweek&#8217;s retraction of its story claiming Danley had two identities.

Las Vegas Shooter’s Girlfriend Marilou Danley: Here’s What You Need To Know

The girlfriend of alleged Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock returned to the United States from the Philippines late Tuesday night as Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents met with her at the airport.
Marilou Danley, 62, was in the Philippines at the time of the shooting &#8212; Paddock <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooter-wired-100-000-philippines-last-week-n807141">reportedly</a> wired $100,000 to the Philippines the week before he went on the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history although it is not clear whom the money went to, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/las-vegas-shooting/las-vegas-shooter-wired-100-000-philippines-last-week-n807141">NBC News</a> reported.
