Report: Las Vegas Shooter’s Girlfriend Lived A Double Life

How quickly things change.

The Las Vegas gunman’s girlfriend, Marilou Daley, has been named as a “person of interest” in the case. She wasn’t in the states at the time of the attack. She was in the Philippines, which– interestingly enough– Paddock sent her to.  It’s believed he sent her there so he could plan out the massacre with no distractions or interruptions.

He also wired $100,000 to the Philippines prior to the attack, but it is not yet known if Daley was the recipient.

Daley is back in the states now. She returned on her own accord in order to “clear her name.” Her brother, Reynaldo Bustos, said Daley has a “clean conscience.

“I called her up immediately and she said, ‘Relax, we shouldn’t worry about it. I’ll fix it. Do not panic. I have a clean conscience,” he said, according to ABC News.

“Relax”? “I’ll fix it”? Uh… that’s kind of a weird reaction. I would be in a full on PANIC mode.

Her sisters, however, are confident Daley can “put the puzzles together.”

Australia’s Channel 7 interviewed Danley’s sisterst today, with one of them saying Danley was sent away by Paddock so she didn’t interfere with his plans to carry out the shooting. Danley traveled with an Australian passport.

 

“I know that she don’t know anything as well, like us,” one sister told Channel 7. “She was sent away. She was away so that she will be not there to interfere with what he’s planning.”

The sisters spoke on the condition of anonymity and had their faces blurred during the interview.

 

“No one can put the puzzles together, no one except Marilou,” one of the sister’s told Channel 7. “Because Steve is not here to talk anymore, only Marilou can maybe help out.”

All that being said, Daley returned to LAX…in wheelchair.

Yeah…I have no idea what the deal is there.

What’s more, new details are emerging about her “double life.” She was apparently married to two men at once and had a bazillion addresses and two Social Security numbers.

The person who may hold the key to solving the mystery of why the Vegas gunman killed 59 and wounded nearly 600 people led a convoluted life of her own, with two simultaneous husbands, a bankruptcy, two Social Security numbers, multiple addresses in several states and even different ages depending on which state records you review.

SHAAAAADY.

In 1996, Marilou wed Jose Bustos, and became Marilou Bustos. But she did not dissolve her marriage to Danley until 2015, divorce records show.

 

Both marriage licenses were filed in Clark County, which includes the city of Las Vegas, even though the Danleys lived in Tennessee and Arkansas around the time of their marriage, and the Bustoses lived in California. Marilou also has a daughter, currently living in California, but it is unclear whether one of her husbands, or another man, fathered the child.

 

In California, her name is registered as Marilou Natividad-Bustos and her birthday is listed as January 1962, making her 55 years old. Under a different Social Security number in Nevada, her name is Marilou Lou Danley and her birthday is listed as December 1954, making her 62.

 

At times, her identities merged: Marilou filed for bankruptcy in 2012, under the name Bustos, while she was still married to Danley and living with Paddock in Reno. Her lawyer during the bankruptcy has not yet responded to a request for comment. Marilou travels back to California often to visit her daughter there, Reno neighbors told Newsweek.

There’s some shady stuff going on. THAT’S for sure. We’ll keep you updated as we find out more.

Update: Newsweek has retracted their reports of Marilou’s “double life.”

Newsweek has retracted its story that reviewed public records of Marilou Danley, the girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.

 

The initial report was based on the marriage record of Danley, who was known under a different name when she married Geary Danley in Clark County, Nevada. Newsweek mistakenly matched that record to a second public record of a different person.

 

The mistake was revealed when a Newsweek reporter re-interviewed a person who had initially declined to comment for our story.
