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.

For maybe a fourth of them. The other 75% leaves manifestos, Facebook/Twitter posts, browser history, etc. to explain how the world has wronged them.

I'd say the two types are "Man Of Mystery Berserker" and "Rebel With (Or Without) A Cause".

Yup.

It conveniently eliminates the need to connect any further dots. WHILE dismissing the notion of a "conspiracy." Cuz considering "conspiracies" is naughty and calls into account REAL investigations that just might expose certain conspirators.

The following vid has been scrubbed for the most part...
