The girlfriend of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock was met by federal investigators when she returned to the US from the Philippines on Tuesday night after telling her family her 'conscience is clear' following the deadly massacre.

Marilou Danley, who authorities described as a 'person of interest', touched down at LAX just after 7pm and was seen being wheeled through the airport in a wheelchair in footage obtained by NBC News.

The 62-year-old was wearing a hat and light blue jacket and was pushing a dark suitcase in front of her. It is not yet clear where she was taken or why she was in the wheelchair. She has not been taken into custody, or charged with any crime.

A police official revealed she voluntarily returned to the US in a bid to 'clear her name' of any involvement in the massacre that saw Paddock kill 59 people, including himself, and injure 527 more.

Danley's sisters have since broken their silence insisting she was unaware of Paddock's motives, while her brother says she told him she has a 'clean conscience'.

It comes hours after police released terrifying bodycam footage that shows Las Vegas cops racing towards Paddock's sniper nest at Mandalay Bay as he fired at concert-goers below.

As police continued to probe the motives behind Paddock's atrocity, it was revealed:

Paddock was prescribed an anti-anxiety medication four months before carrying out his shooting atrocity

Police filmed the terrifying moment they rushed towards the Mandalay Bay Resort as Paddock opened fire

Mass murderer Paddock, 64, was known for berating his 62-year-old girlfriend at their local Starbucks

Her siblings have broken their silence saying she was unaware of his motivation to commit such an atrocity

Danley first arrived in Manila on September 15, according to immigration documents there. She departed for Hong Kong on September 22 then returned to Manila three days later. She was traveling on an Australian passport.

Police now hope she can give some insight into why her boyfriend carried out mass murder but it remains unclear if she had prior knowledge of the shooting.

Paddock had transferred $100,000 to the Philippines in the days before the shooting. Investigators are still trying to trace that money and are also looking into a least a dozen financial reports over the past several weeks that said Paddock gambled more than $10,000 per day, a law enforcement official said.

He wired the money to an account before setting up a sniper's nest on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel on Sunday.

Immediately after Paddock's identity emerged, Danley's brother Reynaldo Bustos - who lives in Manila - called his sister.

'She said: "Relax, we shouldn't worry about it. I'll fix it. Do not panic. I have a clean conscience",' he told ABC News.

Meanwhile Danley's sisters in Australia said in a Seven News interview that they believe she couldn't have known about Paddock's murderous plans, and that he must have sent her away so she wouldn't 'interfere'.

Amelia Manango and Liza Werner said Danley is 'a good person' who would've stopped Paddock had she been there.

'I know that she don't know anything as well like us. She was sent away. She was sent away so that she will not be there to interfere with what he's planning,' one said.

Manango and Werner say Paddock had told their sister that he had found 'cheap flights' to her home nation two weeks before the shooting.

'He sent her away so that he can plan what he is planning without interruptions,' one of the sisters said. 'In that sense, I thank him for sparing my sister's life, but that won't be able to compensate the 59 people's lives.'

They say they hope Danley can assist police with their investigations as she is the only one who can 'put the puzzles together.'

'To be able to find out the person you love and live with can do such things, you thought you know the person yourself.'

As mystery swirls around Paddock's motivation for the massacre, Danley was falsely accused of being a bigamist and once leading a double life.

Newsweek has since retracted a report they published late Tuesday saying that Marilou - a Philippines native - had once been married to two men at the same time and used two social security numbers during her two decades in the US.

The report had claimed that Marilou had two husbands at once, claiming she was married to both Geary Danley in 1990 and Jose Bustos in 1996. Geary Danley, 76, lives in Arkansas, but she did not divorce him until 2015, the report added.

But public records found by DailyMail.com showed they were in fact two completely different women.

There is a Marilou Natividad-Bustos registered in California and her age is listed as 55.

Marilou Lou Danley, who was in a relationship with the Las Vegas shooter, is 62 years old and is registered as living in Nevada.

Natividad-Bustos has four children and worked as a housekeeper in a Hilton hotel in San Fransisco, according to a bankruptcy report she filed back in 2012.

While Paddock's girlfriend only had one child who lives in California. It is not clear if her ex-husband Geary Danly was the father.

Records also show that Danley and Paddock lived together in a three-year-old, two-bedroom home on Babbling Brook Court in the tiny desert community of Mesquite, which is 80 miles north east of Las Vegas near the Arizona state border. Records show the property cost $396,000.

To the right of the doors was a room service cart, covered with empty plates. Paddock set up another camera on the cart to watch the hall. A third camera in the room filmed the shooter. All footage is being examined by the FBI

His family told reporters on Tuesday: 'Our family doesn't know Stephen Paddock and has had no knowledge of Marilou's relationship with Mr Paddock.

'Marilou is our ex step-mom. She is a good and gentle person and I know she has to be devastated by what has happened,' Dionne Waltrip, one of her former step-daughters, told Arkansas station 5 News.

They did not reveal why she and their father parted ways, but reiterated that she was a 'good person'.

'We know nothing of this relationship ever. We have never heard of this man ever in our lives. She is kind. She's very gentle. She's very giving, she's always happy. She's just extremely nice and fun to be around.

'She's not harmful. She's not a bad person at all,' Deirdre Terrell, her other former step-daughter, said.

It has also emerged that Paddock was prescribed an anti-anxiety medication four months before carrying out his shooting atrocity.

Paddock was prescribed fifty 10mg diazepam tablets - also known as Valium - on June 21 by Vegas doctor Steven Winkler, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Diazepam is a sedative-hypnotic drug that can trigger aggressive behavior in people with underlying behavioral problems, the paper reports. It is not known why Paddock was prescribed the drug, or whether he had any behavioral issues.

Multiple people who knew him, including his own brother Eric, say he displayed no outward signs of aggression and did not appear the kind of person who would carry out a mass shooting.

Staff at Dr Winkler's office would not confirm to the Review-Journal if Paddock had been a patient, and said the doctor would not be answering questions.

Marilou Danley (left and right, with Paddock) has lived in Nevada since 2003. She was captured on camera returning to the US today

Paddock (seen in an undated photograph) had 12 rifles fitted with bump-stock modifications, which allowed them to fire at full-auto rates of up to 800 rounds a minute. He killed 58, plus himself, and injured 527 others

Marilou (above with her daughter Sheila and granddaughter) is expected to return to the US on Wednesday

Before Paddock opened fire on hundreds of civilians over the weekend, he was known for his tendency to berate his girlfriend at their local Starbucks. The pair were regulars at the Starbucks inside the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite.

But Paddock also had a habit of berating Danley in front of the coffee chain's employees, according to Esperanza Mendoza.

Mendoza, who is the supervisor at the Starbucks, told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that the abuse 'happened a lot'.

The pair always ordered the same drinks. Paddock would get a venti mocha cappuccino and Danley would get a medium caramel macchiato.

Mendoza said the abuse came when Danley would ask to use his casino card to make the purchase.

The card allows gamblers to use credits earned on electronic gambling machines to pay for souvenirs or food in the casino.

'He would glare down at her and say, 'You don't need my casino card for this. I'm paying for your drink, just like I'm paying for you,'' Mendoza recalled.

She told the newspaper that Danley would then cower behind him and softly say, 'OK'.

The home of mass murderer Stephen Paddock is seen in Mesquite, Nevada on October 3, 2017. Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 when he opened fire on a country music concert in Las Vegas, Nevada

58 people were slaughtered and 527 were injured in the massacre in Las Vegas on Sunday night

Danley is believed to be an Australian citizen and previously lived on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, for more than a decade with her former husband, an Australian man, who has since passed away.

She moved to the United States 20 years ago, according to one of her former neighbors who said she is originally from the Philippines.

Her now deleted Facebook page identified her as a 'proud mom and grandma who lives life to the fullest.'

Danley had described herself on her LinkedIn page as a 'gambling and casino professional' living in Reno, Nevada.

That social media page also listed her as working as a 'high limit hostess' at Club Paradise, Atlantis Casino in Reno between 2010 and 2013, but does not list another job since that year.

Paddock was firing from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, hitting targets in the 22,000-strong crowd up to 330 yards away. Here, one of the officers in the video peers over a wall to where the shots are coming from (inside red circle, top-left)

In other footage, a different officer has to run out of cover to grab this man, who has walked into the line of fire amid ongoing gunshots. Sustained automatic fire can be heard throughout the video's various sequences

The officer has to bodily push the confused man to safety. He can be seen wearing a T-shirt advertising Jason Aldean - the headlining singer who was playing at the festival when the first shots rang out

In the final shot of the video, police usher people - including this woman - away from the killing field and to safety. The terrified pedestrians run on while, the cops stay to help more though

Danley's arrival back in the U.S. comes after police released frightening bodycam footage that shows Las Vegas cops racing towards Paddock's sniper nest as he unleashed minute upon minute of automatic weapons fire.

The footage, released at a Tuesday night press conference, is compiled from cameras on officers on the ground, some of whom are seen rushing towards the Mandalay Bay Resort, where he'd set up his sniper's nest.

In one pulse-pounding moment, a team of cops are forced to crouch behind a concrete wall because Paddock is training his fire on them directly.

In another, an officer runs into the line of fire to drag an apparently drunken man to safety. And in a third, a police officer covers a crouching woman as shots ring out, hoping his vest - and body - will protect her from the rounds.

In the same press conference, police said Paddock had 'preplanned extensively' for the attack, saying he hid cameras not just in a room service cart outside the two hotel rooms he rented, but also in the peephole of one door - allowing him to see security and SWAT teams as they tried to end the carnage.

The first segment of the footage shows police hunkering down behind a wall facing Mandalay Bay after the initial volley of shots, Undersheriff Kevin McMahill told press.

The officers are wearing brightly colored, high-visibility vests, suggesting that they had been working security at the 22,000-person festival.

Of course, those vests also make them the perfect targets.

The siblings of the Las Vegas mass murderer's girlfriend have emotionally broken their silence saying she was unaware of his motivation to commit such an atrocity

Marilou Danley's sister Liza Werner (left in the blue) spoke on her sister's 'shock' at the actions of her boyfriend Stephen Paddock as has her other sister Amelia Manango (right)

They say she was purposefully sent away by Mr Paddock, who told her he found her 'cheap flights' to her home nation two weeks before the shooting

Paddock had stockpiled 23 guns in his room - including 12 rifles modified to fire at automatic fire rates - but had apparently paused to reload or grab another weapon as the team advanced along the wall.

Suddenly the officer with the body camera spots civilians, likely confused about the direction of the gunfire, due to Paddock's vantage point, climbing over a fence towards them - and right into the line of fire.

The cops shout for them to get down, and one officer actually runs out, risking his life to make sure they get the message. Just as he gets back to the safety of the wall, shots ring out again.

In the second sequence, the officers are again crouched down as a crackle of gunfire echoes through the air. 'Hey, they're shooting right at us, guys, everybody stay down, stay down,' the bodycam officer says.

'Where's it coming from?' asks one cop. 'It looked like the Mandalay Bay, it's coming out of a window, another replies.

The third clip is taken from a new officer, who is crouched behind a police car. As the rat-a-tat-tat of automatic fire fills the air again, he shouts: 'Get back! Get back!'

He then sprints out from cover and collars a bearded man wearing a T-shirt advertising festival headliner Jason Aldean. The man seems drunk or confused as the cop herds him to safety.

The fourth clip is largely obscured by the officer's high-visibility vest, but he can be heard shouting for people to get down as shots ring out and a woman wails.

One confused woman can be heard 'Are those firecrackers?' just before more shots ring out. He then crouches over the woman, McMahill said. The cop can be heard remarking: 'I have a vest on.'

The final, brief moment returns to the officer from the first two clips, as he and another cop guide terrified civilians to safety.

FBI agents confer outside of the concert grounds on Tuesday. The forensic examination of the site where dozens died on Sunday was expected to finish by Tuesday night

Investigators at the scene had struggled not just with the usual debris following a killing, but with an entire festival field of discarded purses, food and even items of clothing and boots

Also on Tuesday, photos were leaked showing Paddock's body on the floor of his suite. Only the 64-year-old's legs, torso and left arm are visible in the photo.

In the photo showing Paddock's body, he is wearing a typical outfit for a retiree: a brown long-sleeve T-shirt, black slacks and slip-on loafers with white socks.

The only item of clothing that reveals his nefarious actions are the black gloves he's wearing.

On a table next to him, there appears to be a note - or otherwise a sheet of paper - underneath what looks like a green ashtray or roll of tape.

On the floor next to the body are two assault rifles, dozens of spent shells and a hammer - which he presumably used to shatter two windows in his two-room suite which he then used to shoot out of.

One of the assault rifles has a 'bump stock' added to it - making it effectively fully automatic - allowing him to unleash hundreds of rounds per minute.

The branding on the gun indicates it was made by Daniel Defense, a Savannah-Georgia-based company which produces variants of the AR-15 rifle, based off the U.S. Army's M16.

Another photo shows how he pushed two sitting chairs together to form a cradle-like space to store at least two other rifles.

An AR-15-style rifle is seen at the foot of chairs. It has an extended magazine that would allow him to shoot for longer before reloading.

Behind a nearby pillar, about 15 magazines are piled in neat stacks. It's unclear if they are loaded or spent.

McMahill said that investigations were now underway to determine who leaked the photographs to the media.

Speaking on Tuesday evening, Jill Sneider of the ATF said that no less than 12 of the rifles found in the room had bump-stock modifications. In total, there were 23 firearms in the hotel room, including an AK-47, an AR-15-type gun, and a handgun.

VEGAS GUNMAN'S DEVASTATING ARSENAL REVEALED Las Vegas butcher Stephen Paddock amassed 42 firearms before carrying out his massacre, 23 of which were found inside the hotel room he used for his massacre. The majority of those weapons were rifles, though at least one was a handgun. Two rifles had been modified with tripods and scopes, greatly increasing their accuracy, and at least two had been modified to allow for something close to fully-automatic fire. Thousands of rounds of ammunition were also found, ranging in caliber from .223 - similar to 5.56 rounds which are standard for NATO troops - to .308, which are typically used for hunting rifles. While the exact extent of Paddock's cache is not yet clear, we know it included: 1) Four DDM4 rifles, the LA Times reports. Manufactured by Daniel Defense, the rifle features a muzzle flash suppressor, making it harder to tell where the weapon is being fired from. It also has a freefloat rail allowing for a variety of attachments including scopes and grips to enhance stability. The rifle costs $1,900 if bought new Four DDM4 rifles - made by Daniel Defense - were among the 23 weapons found in Paddock's hotel room by the SWAT team after they busted in. They sell for around $1,700 2) Three FN-15 rifles. Made by FN America, they also feature a muzzle flash suppressor and 'H buffer system', which reduces recoil and increases accuracy. FN-15 refers to a series of rifles, rather than a specific weapon, which range from smaller carbines to replicas of the military-issue M16. It is not known exactly which version was owned by Paddock. They range in price from $1,000 to $2,000, if bought new Also in his terrifying arsenal were three of these FN-15 rifles, as well as guns made by Sig Sauer. Some of the semi-automatic guns had been fitted with bump-stocks that allow for, essentially, fully automatic fire. They're priced around $1,300 3) At least one AK-47. A Russian-designed assault rifle, it was used by the country's military from 1945 and is still used by armies and rebel groups around the world. Known for its simplicity and reliability, it fires 7.62x39mm rounds which makes it less accurate but more devastating than other semi-automatic rifles. It can retail for as little as $600 An AK-47 was also found in the room with the other weapons. AKs can come with fully automatic fire functions, but it's not known if that was the case here. AKs vary in price depending on the manufacturer, but cost around $1,000 4) At least one Colt AR-15. This rifle is known as the most popular in America, with an estimated 8million in homes around the country. It is also gaining a dubious reputation as the weapon of choice for mass shooters, from movie theatre killer James Holmes to San Bernardino terrorist Omar Mateen A Colt AR-15 was also found in the room. Such weapons are semi-automatic when bought legally and cost around $1,000. At least one full-auto weapon was found, but it's not known if it was modified or had that function when manufactured 5) Two 'bump stocks'. While not weapons in themselves, these stocks modify semi-automatic weapons allowing for something close to fully-automatic fire. They fit over the stock of a semi-auto rifle, and function by allowing the weapon to 'bump' back and forth as it is fired using the weapon's recoil. Each bump brings the user's finger down on the trigger, firing a round. This allows users to skirt around regulations prohibiting fully-automatic weapons. Advertisement

But Paddock had still more guns stored in his two houses in Verdi, outside Reno, and Mesquite, bringing the total across all thee locations to 47, she said. They included rifles, shotguns and handguns bought from Nevada, Texas, Utah and California.

It also emerged Tuesday evening that early reports of 59 victims had been inaccurate; the total body count was 59, but that included Paddock's suicide, as well as the 58 people he killed.

Also in the press conference on Tuesday evening, McMahill defended police for taking 72 minutes to breach the room where Paddock was holed up after first shots were reported at 10:08pm on Sunday.

McMahill said that patrol officers who had been managing the music festival quickly entered the hotel and began working their way up to the 32nd floor, where Paddock was located, evacuating each floor as they went - but that police couldn't act until the SWAT team arrived.

He also said that Paddock's gunfire ceased at around 10:19pm - 59 minutes before his room was breached. At that point, he said, SWAT stopped regarding Paddock as an active shooter and treated him as a less urgent barricade situation, since he was isolated in the room.

McMahill didn't make it clear exactly when the SWAT team was in place, but said that at 10.38pm, a security guard approaching Paddock's room was non-fatally shot. The guard, who is still in hospital, sent 'digital information' to cops, McMahill said.

Details of that incident have not yet been released, but it seems likely that Paddock spotted the guard approaching using the cameras he installed in the door's peephole and in a room service cart he'd left in the hallway.

SWAT raided the room at 11.20pm - something the McMahill said was acceptable because Paddock was no longer shooting and was barricaded in. He said the SWAT team was 'unconventional,' being made up of SWAT members, patrol cops and a K-9 unit.

As well as the cameras filming the hall, Paddock also set up one camera in the room, apparently to film himself. All of the footage is now being reviewed by the FBI.

By the time they breached the room, Paddock had committed suicide.

Photos have emerged of two of the 23 firearms found in Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock's hotel room. The weapon on the left has a bump stock added to make it fully automatic, a scope for accuracy and an oversize magazine to hold more ammunition. The weapon on the right has markings indicating it was made by Daniel Defense, a bipod for stability, and a telescopic lens

On Tuesday, Lombardo said they had identified all but three of the victims, and that the injured count might be slightly off because one of the hospitals was double counting patients. However, he didn't release a revised injured number.

Two pictures leaked Tuesday afternoon appear to be the full unedited photos of two Paddock's rifles obtained by Boston 25 earlier in the day.

Also on Tuesday, video was released showing debris strewn outside the shooter's hotel room, from when the SWAT team blew the doors off the front door.

The video shows bullet holes piercing the left side of the suite's double doors, confirming reports that Paddock shot at officers as they tried to break into the room. However, most of the door is knocked down from the SWAT team's forceful - but necessary - entrance.

Directly behind the doors, inside the suite, the video shows yet another assault rifle set up on the ground on a bipod.

Outside the door, debris litters the carpeting in the hallway and crime scene tape covers the entrance to the room. A Do Not Disturb sign sits on the ground next to the front door, along with an Exit sign that has been struck down. Outside a neighboring door sits a used room service cart.

At a Tuesday afternoon press conference, Lombardo confirmed that Paddock had cameras set up inside and outside of his room - including one on the food service cart.

The cameras outside the room appear to have been used to warn Lombardo when police were outside. A source told the Washington Post that the cameras outside the room were connected to a tablet which streamed live footage of the hallway.

Lombardo refused to comment on whether the cameras inside the room were used by Paddock to capture the massacre.

On Tuesday it emerged that Paddock may have previously planned to attack another open-air music festival, which was held from September 22-24.

The Life is Beautiful festival was based five and a half miles from where Paddock claimed 58 lives on Sunday, and took place across 15 blocks of Downtown Vegas.

Paddock had apparently attempted to book rooms at the Ogden, a luxury condo tower that overlooked the festival, as well as a hotel with festival views, an inside source told CBS.

He requested specific suites at both locations, but moved on when he discovered they were booked, the source claimed.

That raises the grim possibility that he'd intended to turn either location into sniper nests, like the one he built in the Mandalay Bay hotel on Sunday, prior to his horrific killing spree.

The Ogden is only 21 stories tall, whereas the rooms he booked in the Mandalay Bay hotel were on the 32nd floor.

That would likely have changed the distance he would have been able to fire, but had he cleared the 330 yards fired on Sunday, he could have struck 11 of the festival's 15 blocks, including the one housing the main stage, which was directly north of the Ogden.

Among the bands playing on that stage at this year's festival were Chance the Rapper, Muse, Lorde, The XX and Gorillaz. This year the festival attracted 45,000 people per day.

The Daily Beast was the first to report Paddock's alleged interest in The Ogden. Their source, speaking before CBS's lead came forward, suggested he had successfully booked 'multiple condos'.

The source said that Paddock may have lost his nerve or changed his plans for some other reason before setting up a kill zone outside the Mandalay Bay. CBS's source later contradicted that, saying the suites he wanted were booked up.

Investigators are still struggling to determine what caused Paddock, a retiree with only a traffic infraction on his criminal record, to carry out the attack.
