Terror in Vegas

from Dr. Carole's Couch Hosted by Dr. Carole Lieberman

What made Stephen Paddock become the perpetrator of the largest mass shooting in American history? Was he following in the footsteps of his dad, a notorious bank robber and prison escapee on the FBI Most Wanted List, who was labeled psychopathic with suicidal tendencies? Was he desperate because of mounting gambling debts? Was he a political fanatic trying to kill Republicans, who he assumed would be at this country music festival in high numbers? Or was he a soldier of terrorism, as ISIS is claiming? Dr. Carole warns not to rule out terrorism just yet and explains why. She also delves into Stephen Paddock's mysterious girlfriend, Marilou Danley, of Philippine origin-the same place Stephen wired $100,000 before he began shooting. Marilou has been MIA since the shooting and is likely not to provide the answers authorities expect when she finally returns to the U.S. Dr. Carole ends the show with some tips for how to talk with children about this tragedy.
