Las Vegas gunman methodically sought to âthwartâ investigation of massacre FBI says
Marilou Danley
Paddockâs girlfriend   Marilou Danley   plays a central role in the court documents.  Danley  has denied knowing anything about Paddockâs plans.  She  was out of the country when the attack happened  and  Danley  said after the shooting that  she  was in the Philippines at the time because Paddock had bought  her  a ticket to visit family.
 Danley  spoke with FBI agents after returning to the United States.  She  âcorroborated much of what had been previously deduced by investigators â an agent wrote in one filing  and remained âadamantâ  she  was unaware of Paddockâs intentions.
The FBI affidavit states that when investigators took a DNA sample from  Danley   â she  spontaneously stated that  her  fingerprints would likely be found on Paddockâs ammunition because  she  occasionally participated in loading magazines.â
The FBI document  filed six days after the shooting  says authorities had no evidence suggesting  Danley  had any criminal involvement in the massacre. But it notes that while investigators had not found âany conclusive evidenceâ that  she  helped Paddock  knew about his plans in advance or lied to law enforcement  that remained âthe subject of intensive review.â
In  her  statement after the shooting   Danley  said that  she  had assumed Paddock was breaking up with  her   continuing that it ânever occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone.â
