Vegas Myths Dispelled: October 1 Witnesses Met Fate 4 Weeks Post-Incident in a Concealment Attempt
The Las Vegas massacre conspiracy theories are hurtful not only to the logical mindset, but also to the families of those tragically lost. However, debunking false claims is the duty of this show, so we're covering one of these widespread October 1, 2017 myths.
We only focus on one, we guarantee it.
We selected the most easily disproven notion from the pile of nonsense. This tale alleges that seven crucial witnesses to the shooting were fatally killed in an effort to hide the truth - that Stephen Paddock didn't operate independently.
"In the month after the incident, a staggering seven key witnesses have perished under dubious circumstances," claimed the unreliable news site Neon Nettle on November 2, 2017. “Of the seven individuals, every single one of them had a common factor, aside from being there during the shooting: They all possessed information contradicting the ‘official’ story.”

It doesn't matter that investigators concluded with irrefutable evidence that Paddock, age 64, was the sole gunman who targeted the Route 91 Harvest music festival attendees. Conspiracy theorists insist there was a co-perpetrator. These individuals believe the entire shooting was a false flag - a hostile act intended to mask the real wrongdoer.
In this scenario, the blame is on the US government, which supposedly planned to seize firearms across the country as part of a sinister power grab for a foreboding organization waiting in the shadows to dominate the world.
That's quite an achievement for a government that frequently fails to deliver our mail on schedule.
Let's examine each of the deceased witnesses individually and analyze their conflicting viewpoints, according to Neon Nettle.
“Investigators concluded that Paddock, 64, was the sole gunman who fired upon the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival,” the article continued before listing the names and photos of seven attendees who passed away in the month following the tragedy, attempting to weave these random incidents into a sinister plot.
A few days after this article was published, Snopes.com thoroughly investigated all seven "deaths" mentioned by the site.

Two of the concert patrons who passed died when their vehicle veered off a curved section of road in Murietta, California, crashing into a metal fence and bursting into flames. Another - who struggled with seizures and was prescribed tumor medication - passed away in her sleep. And two of the allegedly murdered "key witnesses" mentioned in the article never even attended the concert. (Out of respect for the families of the deceased, we won't mention their names again.)
Of the remaining two suspected murder victims in the article, one was still alive, and the other was Paddock himself.
"Reports varied about how Paddock was killed with some asserting he was killed in a police shootout, versus the 'official' version stating he shot himself," the article erroneously claimed.
In total, Neon Nettle accurately identified three Route 91 Harvest attendees who were dead a month later. It's not unusual for three deaths to occur among 22,000 people; half a year after the incident, three lives end, it's considered a typical month.
What Neon Nettle successfully demonstrated was not a conspiracy to cover up any truth. Instead, it highlighted the alarming ease with which anyone can claim anything as news on the internet. For $20 a year, any individual can create a website and spread misinformation, causing distress for the relatives of those who passed away.
