HUH? – AT 10:51 A.M. ET:  The Las Vegas killer's girlfriend is back on American soil, and has been interviewed, at least briefly, by the FBI.  The investigation into the massacre is still under the control of Las Vegas police, and they will be interviewing this "person of interest."  But already her family is talking.  From NBC News: 

The Las Vegas gunman bought his girlfriend a ticket to the Philippines and “sent her away” to spare her life, her distraught sisters said Wednesday.

Stephen Paddock bought Marilou Danley “a cheap ticket” to her home country two weeks before he opened fire on a country music concert on the Las Vegas Strip.

Investigators believe Danley, 62, who arrived back in the U.S. late Tuesday escorted by FBI agents, could fill in some of the blanks as to why Paddock assembled an arsenal of guns and killed 58 people.

Clark County, Nevada Sheriff Joe Lombardo described her as “a person of interest."

Her sisters, who live in Australia, believe she knew nothing of Paddock’s deadly intentions.

“She didn’t even know that she was going to the Philippines, until Steve said ‘Marilou, I found you a cheap ticket to the Philippines,’” one of the sisters, who spoke on condition they not be identified, told NBC’s Australian partner, Channel 7.

“She was sent away," the woman said of Danley, "so that she will not be there to interfere with what he’s planning." She added that with her sister out of the country, Paddock could plan "without interruptions."

“In that sense I thank him for sparing my sister’s life, but that won’t be to compensate the 59 people’s lives," she said.

COMMENT:  I don't know.  Does that sound right to you?  How would these sisters know why she was sent away?  And why did she go?  Could he order her out of the country? 

We also know that Paddock wired her $100,000 when she was in the Philippines.  Why was that?  To tide her over and get her some premium ice cream?

This whole story doesn't add up.  The guy had a major arsenal.  Didn't Marilou ever see it?  Didn't she suspect anything? 

We await facts.  I'm not sure that's what we're getting.
