Has there been an concrete elaboration/revelation on the thought that "he had help" and "led a secret life"?

This is a really interesting read:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/u...-gambling.html
It talks about his complaints of the country music being played (too loud) from the floor below:
He was there to play, not to party. The night before the shooting, Mr. Paddock made two complaints to the hotel about noise coming from his downstairs neighbors: Albert Garzon, a restaurant owner visiting from San Diego, and his wife and friends. Mr. Garzon, who was staying in 31-135, directly beneath Mr. Paddock, said security guards knocked on his door around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday and asked him to turn down his music, country songs. When he asked where the complaint was coming from, pointing out that the nearest rooms on either side were far away, the security guard said, “It’s the guest above you.”
They turned the music down, but had another visit from different security guards half an hour later. The man had called to complain again. Mr. Garzon turned the music off. It wasn’t until the early hours of Monday that Mr. Garzon realized Mr. Paddock had been the complainer.
I thought this was a facts thread? Nothing ISIS claims is fact.

From BBC News:
The gunman behind the mass shooting at an open-air festival in Las Vegas had reserved rooms overlooking music venues at other sites, investigators say.
Stephen Paddock is known to have booked a room during the Life is Beautiful festival in Vegas a week before he killed 58 people and injured hundreds.
But it has now emerged the retired accountant may have considered sites in Chicago and Boston.
Investigators are still trying to establish Paddock's motive.
A man named Stephen Paddock reserved a room at the Blackstone Hotel, in Chicago, at the same time as the Lollapalooza music festival was taking pace in the Illinois city.
He never checked in, and a hotel spokesman said they had not confirmed "whether that is the same Stephen Paddock".

Short version is that the leadership of their emergency services was forward thinking in adapting strategies, training and equipment after the Columbine and Aurora active shooters which is why they had so many first responders in body armor and helmets able to go right into the conflict zone and it was only the sheer volume that proved daunting. Outfuckingstanding.

I have been extremely impressed with the response of all the emergency services in Las Vegas to this incident. And depressed when realizing my own city would produce a clown shoes amateur hour shitshow in response to such an event. Priorities. None of those dead folks will cost the city government money.....but HR complaints about sexual harassment and "misgendering" will, so what gets training dollars?
As for the purported links to ISIS or any other groups, I have seen nothing credible in this regard. That FOX report is no different, in my opinion. As for folks making statements that "ISIS doesn't make false claims".....bull. They would take credit for causing Gall Gadot bikini-line razor burn if they could. Let's let the clear professionals involved in this thing finish their investigation.
