galrads: I think she's innocent because I'm told that women in her culture don't question a lot of what dude's do.

That isn't always true, G. I do and specially here in the West, we're in tune with what's happening but you might be right. I do feel she's not really the type to just accept everything, though.
There's an article as to how driven she is in directing her children's lives.
nonsmoker: Are any of us really innocent, Christ thought us No !
Are you throwing stones LJ
Non, as a matter of fact we're all guilty in one way or another.
That's why I'm not accepting her innocence.
For justice point of view, she's had to have some connections to his activities. This is not only to learn who the killer is, but possible key to avoid such an evil act.
ChesneyChrist: In western civilisation the family members of criminals are not themselves guilty.
Exactly, a person is always innocent until proven by law to be guilty of a crime.
From the interviews I have seen, Ms Danley came across just as horrified and distressed over the awful killings as anyone else not involved. But for some, it is good fun to point fingers and make judgements based on nothing but hearsay and media rubbish.

Oh I see, The old guilt by Association fallacy Quite an unreasonable syllogistic argument and a very hurried summation to a preordained conclusion. But that's just my opinion.

Precisely.
And while this amateur armchair analysis goes on, countless people grieve for their loved ones.
unless there is proof that she had prior knowledge of what he was up to,no Court would convict her! Just being associated with the Guy does not count as proof,at least not in a western court!

You're right Conrad, my point is, if there were some hints or signs, maybe they can find out the triggers or causes.
Some people's observation specially from Starbucks which they frequented picture a total opposite of Marilou's description.
That's what makes even more confusing.
She claims he's a very kind person, but the employees who described him say otherwise.
lindsyjones: Is it possible to live with someone for more than four years and don't realize that whom you live with is sick and a psycho?
Note: Generally Filipinos are very aware and sometimes very nosy.
I personally doubt her innocence.

The Las Vegas gunman’s girlfriend spoke publicly for the first time since the shooting, saying on Wednesday that she had no idea of the massacre he was plotting when he sent her on a trip abroad to see her family.
“It never occurred to me in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone,” Marilou Danley, 62, said in a statement read by her attorney Matthew Lombard outside FBI headquarters in Los Angeles. Danley returned from her native Philippines on Tuesday and was being questioned for much of the next day by FBI agents.
She also said: “He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen.”
Danley, who has been called a “person of interest” by investigators, said she was initially pleased when Stephen Paddock wired her money in the Philippines to buy a house for her family but later feared it was a way to break up with her. Paddock wired $100,000 to the Philippines days before the shooting, a US official not authorized to speak publicly because of the continuing investigation said on condition of anonymity.

Yes Tom, I've read all these.
It's just amazing to me that you live with a man for that long and bam, your world changes like this.
She's not crying, grieving or even distraught.
Maybe she's not quite settled with the events yet.
Danley's partner has died by suicide. She has been described as being madly in love with him. She was scared that he meant to break up with her. She has been effectively widowed.
That is a complex grief in itself, without having to deal with the fact that before his death, he was responsible for mass murder.
Most people experience a period of shock, disbelief, unreality and numbness after a bereavement, even if it was expected and a natural passing.
It would be more strange if Danley was crying at this stage, than the lack of emotional reaction you describe.

I'm not sure about the strange feeling of crying. It's for me a natural reaction to losing someone I love. That being said, if course shock is also a natural reaction.
But like I said, the descriptions pictured by the people who saw them regularly us the opposite.
It'd be very interesting to hear others say their observations.
