A laptop computer recovered from the Las Vegas hotel room where Stephen Paddock launched the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history was missing its hard drive, depriving investigators of a potential key source of information on why he killed and maimed so many people, ABC News has learned.

Paddock is believed to have removed the hard drive before fatally shooting himself, and the missing device has not yet been recovered, sources told ABC News.

The hard drive might have been removed well before the massacre. To monitor his video cameras and do casual web browsing, he could do it all with a Linux LiveCD or memory stick.

You've thought this one out, huh? Why connect dots that aren't there? Even you are stretching on this.

Why would someone so supposely cold-blooded and unemotional give flying eff about his hard drive contents? "Embarrassment"?

Why not also then consider David Copperfield's involvement? Penn and Teller?

Or, how about THIS:

Paddock is a patsy?...

...And this was and still is an Op. Or is that as impossible as 911 being an Op? Or JFK?

Paddock was locked in and alone in the room.

If you aren't aware of it, disassembling laptops and removing their hard drives and reassembling them takes some time. Even someone who is fast would take at least a half hour, I think.

Paddock was smart enough to know it is better to leave no tracks. With a LiveCD, you can be sure there are no cookies, not hidden supercookies, no viruses, no trojans or remote control botnet programs, etc.

Lots of paranoid people use old laptops this way with a LiveCD. Or they use a USB memory stick, either locked (so nothing is saved) or unlocked and set up to function exactly as a hard drive would work.

Paddock seems determined to leave behind no evidence and leave a lot of questions, to remain a man of mystery and murder. He was planning for post-massacre fame.

Ho Hum ... This is getting to be SOP for the lone gunman types.

I'm guessing that you've never used a bump fire rifle to open up a laptop? It's not like he was trying to preserve the data for future generations. He could smash it an' bash it, whatever it takes.

What with government incompetence and all, it took the FBI/Fusion Center team two weeks or so to "lose" the hard drive. The private sector is much more efficient.

The Fusion Team has come up with so many tall tales, that it's difficult to believe their latest lone wolf stories anymore. Why bother to take out the HD, just lose the whole laptop?

Sez who??

Uh, yeah. IF one is able to focus AS they are mowing down hundreds of human beings, Malmady-style.

Paddock was smart enough to know it is better to leave no tracks. With a LiveCD, you can be sure there are no cookies, not hidden supercookies, no viruses, no trojans or remote control botnet programs, etc.

Whoa pardner. On WHAT authoritah do you claim this to be THE case and truth of the matter? And on what grounds or proof is there to accept with NO questions asked, Paddock as THE perp? Seriously? Kindly cite your sources for what you deem as the truth of the above.

Paddock seems determined to leave behind no evidence and leave a lot of questions, to remain a man of mystery and murder. He was planning for post-massacre fame.

"Man of Mystery" will remain THE narrative until The Second Coming. The Authoritahs obviously have NO intention of revealing the truth in this case.

Now either you are very naive, TC, OR, for some reason seem ever inclined to connect phantom dots while selling every single "official" narrative -- even when there are holes in stories that are simply implausible; AND a investigation that is CLEARLY bungled worst than if a bunch of Inspector Clouseaus were running it.

In conclusion, it takes the maximum of the suspension of all logic and common sense to believe an "official" narrative that frankly insults the intelligence of any thinking man. THESE are the SAME people who couldn't indict Hitlery. Holder. Clinton. 0bama. For a myriad of slam-dunk charges. AND submitted the "Dossier."

What's THAT tell you, TC??
