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.

Sez who??

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

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.

"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??

All the reporting is pretty consistent that Paddock was a lone shooter.

I'm not the one with a compulsive contrarian need to invent CTs out of thin air.

How do you even know there was a guy named Paddock? How do you know that there was a massacre at all? Maybe it's all just a CIA disinformation campaign. Maybe it was all staged with a few thousand "crisis actors". Maybe the lady taxi driver was the top star among the CIA "crisis actors", huh?

The CTs are annoying in that they accept the premise of these massacre reports entirely but then proceed to just make shit up. But if the officials and media and bystanders are all so easily deceived or conned into supporting the Big Lie, why do you believe any of it? You have no rational basis for doing so. You're just picking and choosing facts to believe or disbelieve on a more or less random basis.

It tells me that you mix apples and oranges without any apparent awareness of why it is a mistake to do so. Hitlery has nothing to do with Vegas. At best, any mention of her muddies the waters further.

Nice try. Wait; That's pathetic. That's the best you have??

What won't you say and spin to shield the actual truth from leaking? You ALWAYS give the benefit of doubt to "Investigators" and implausible narratives backed by shreds and tiny shards of proof. WHY??

You mean, unlike you who gives credence to any kooks who can float some clickbait videos to try to make money off the rubes on YouBoob? Like the Niburu/Planet X kooks?

If you want to use the above ridiculous low-end lunacy as your example of investigative reporting (outside YOUR precious NYT, WaPo, and ABC "News" and already discredited feeb colluders) then it's crystal clear where you stand.

There's no point in just retyping all the stuff we've already said.

Maybe they'll produce more real info soon. I'm not holding my breath.

Clearly, we need numerous firings at the FBI if they can't do better than what we've seen after so much time has passed.

The missing hard drive has been attributed to the cunning skill of the unknown second shooter. After he completed his rampage on the concert, he scaled the glass walls of the Hotel to the 32nd floor, climbed into Paddock's room through one of the broken windows and murdered Paddock. He took the hard drive thus avoiding Jesus, who was still waiting in the hallway.

Escaping from the ever-reaching firm grip of the LVPD the unknown second shooter climbed out of the same window and scaled back down the hotel glass walls. He fled into the panicked crowd.

Yes...that's IF we accept the movie-like premise of Mission Impossible-like planning and skills from a second shooter. AND the premise that there was any such laptop in the alleged perp's room; Paddock is presumed to be THE prime perp; AND premise that destroying the hard drive would be the priority of a deranged madman. AS he was spraying a crowd of thousands with thousands of rounds of ammo. Talk about multi-tasking.

Mum is the word. I can not tell a lie and all that other cock-a-mane, clap-trap and inclusive horseshit.

Seems to be philosophy of the Vegas "Investigation" Team. Along with, "Meh."
