| Mugshot: This was the FBI's most wanted list's image of Paddock after his escape from prison. His nicknames included 'Big Daddy' and 'Chromedome' and he had a series of aliases |
The father of the
Las Vegas shooter was an FBI most-wanted bank robber and confidence man
known as 'Big Daddy,' who was captured in Las Vegas in 1960 - then
escaped and lived on the run for a decade.
He
was described as psychopathic, armed and dangerous and suicidal - and
the public were told not to approach the criminal know also as
'Chromedome' and 'Old Baldy'.
Stephen
Paddock – the shooter who killed at least 58 in the Sunday night
massacre – was just seven years old and living in Arizona when his
father Benjamin Paddock was nabbed by the FBI for a series of bank
robberies.
At the time,
Stephen's mother tried desperately to shield her young son and his three
siblings from the devastating news that their father was living a
double life as a bank robber and con-man.
