Well this is interesting…
CNN – A law enforcement official confirms that Stephen Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines. However, officials aren’t yet able to see when he sent the money. They also don’t know the recipient. The FBI is working with authorities in the Philippines to determine additional details.
Also, the official reiterated there are still no ties that they’ve seen to international terrorism.
I don’t think CNN wants to implicate Paddock’s girlfriend by mentioning her, but that seems like the obvious destination of the money. If true, that would most certainly raise new questions about whether she knew Paddock was going to do this or not.
Of course even if he did send her the money it doesn’t mean she knew anything at all. But it is rather curious…

NY POST – Even his mother knew he had an evil streak.
The mom of accused Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock once told a neighbor he was a “bad boy,” a new report says.
“He wasn’t very sociable,” resident Jorge Juertes said of Paddock, whom he met while living next-door to the killer’s mom in Mesquite, Texas, according to the Star Telegram.
“[His mother] said he’s a bad boy,” Juertes recalled.
Being a ‘bad boy’ doesn’t necessarily equate to mass murder, but it sounds like at the very least they knew he wasn’t a very kind person.
