The Vegas Shooter’s Brother Was On The Run For Years, Changed His Appearance And Set Up Booby Traps

Stephen Paddock’s other brother, Bruce Paddock, was recently arrested for child porn. According to sources, the investigation into his criminal activities started BEFORE the Vegas massacre. For the record, this is not the brother who had an incessant need to talk to the media over and over and over again.

Bruce has a lengthy criminal history, which includes arrests for criminal threats, arson, vandalism, petty theft, burglary and weed.

But MAN. He’s creepier than your average criminal. As it turns out, Bruce has been on the run for two years, constantly changing his appearance to keep the cops off his track. Oh. And he reportedly installed legitimate BOOBY TRAPS in his various areas of residence. That included “propane tanks tied to doors” as well as “homemade surveillance systems.”

It gives me the creeps. Especially when I think about how Stephen Paddock drilled holes in the wall of his hotel room, prior to the massacre. TMZ describes this revelation as having “disturbing connections to the Vegas shooting.”

The tactics Stephen Paddock’s brother used to avoid authorities are being described as “evil smart” … and have disturbing connections to the Vegas shooting.

 

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Bruce Paddock has been on the run for more than 2 years prior to his arrest this week for child porn. We’re told he changed his appearance and moved often to keep cops off his tail … and took drastic measures to avoid getting nabbed.

 

Our sources say Bruce rigged up places he was living with booby traps that included propane tanks tied to doors … and used cameras to create homemade surveillance systems around his properties.

Authorities are currently taking another look at the connections between Bruce and Stephen. Did one give the other some pointers? Did Bruce know what Stephen had planned?

We’ll update you as we learn more, but one thing’s for sure. This entire family is creepy.
