Paddock had become “distant” in the year before the shooting and their relationship was no longer intimate, Danley said in an interview with investigators.
He moved from window to window to see the site from different angles, the report said. She remembered him constantly looking out of the windows overlooking an area where the concert would be held the next month. Paddock was acting strangely, Danley told investigators.
Weeks before the shooting, the couple stayed at Mandalay Bay. He did not leave a suicide note or manifesto before he was found dead in the room. Investigators believe Paddock acted alone. He said he did not expect criminal charges to be filed against Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, who had been named as the only person of interest in the case. Sheriff Joe Lombardo of Clark County released a preliminary report on Friday on the 1 October attack on an outdoor concert staged from a room at the Mandalay Bay casino-hotel. But hundreds of interviews and thousands of pieces of evidence have not answered the key question: why did Paddock open fire from a high-rise hotel suite, killing 58 people and injuring more than 800 in the deadliest shooting in modern US history?
