Paddock’s life had little meaning. Was liberal minded. His previous wife was Japaneses. He had many skills, one of which was an accountant. Paddock was well aware that Las Vegas was founded by Mormons and then became partners with the Jewish Mob’s in the 40’s. He was aware that minorities were discriminated against higher management positions. A gambler, life lost any real meaning for him until he met Marilou Danley, a Filipino. There relationship flourished and at 64 he realized that there were not that many good days ahead for him and decided to reward Marilou for the affection she showed him and at the same time, “get even,” with the controlling, discriminatory establishment. He sets up the kill. Sends Marilou money and prepares for the Killing. The 91 Harvest Festival, has western style music and in the past, been sir-named the honky groups, icing on the cake for him? So far, no one has a better theory.
