Unresolved crimes people talk about for years.
Stephen Paddock - Life before becoming the Mandalay Bay Shooter Oct. 2017.

                                                                               
Stephen Paddock was known as Hans Timan
 Stephen Paddock - Life before becoming the Mandalay Bay Shooter Oct. 2017.
 

Hans Timan, "Stephen Paddock" also known as transgender Candis Cayne returned to Stockholm during the Trump-divorce in 1990, and started to work with the tabloids as National Enquire in New York..
He was responsible, to re-lable “The Murder Of Amy”, October 1987, to the “Murder Of Jon Benet”, 1996, the night of Dec. 26 - but there was no year printed of the murder, inside the tabloids in Dec. 1996.

In 2000, Hans Timan (Candis Cayne) worked in a transgender office, at the same floor as PMK PR in Pacific Design Center (West Hollywood) and put together photos to the tabloids of two people dating, before they meet.
The same transgender office got problem with a burglar ring (2002-2007) of celebrity homes, using the information from PMK PR.

In 2003 Candis Cayne (Hans Timan) returned to live as a male,with help of bottle-drinking, and he was seen as a homeless, alcoholic, with pants falling below the hip, on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood.
Once sober, he invented a new personality, "Stephen Paddock" for Beverly Hills fire-department and started to work with Jessica in Fingerprint PR office.

Stephen Paddock (Mandaley Bay shooter in Las Vegas Oct.2017) had a different person’s photo in DMV offices.
 
He was often seen as a controller in Los Angeles DMVs offices, but he never got a US State Drivers License, just renewed his Swedish Drivers License instead.

His head-photo in all news channels as Stephen Paddock was the 2nd face of transgender Candis Cayne, by contracting a large muscle on the side of the face, connected to the back of the brain.
The muscle went over both sides of the face, and gave bulky features to eyelid, nose and chin, plus personality change.
The face, before contracting the muscle, looked like a male Candis Cayne, according to people having a conversation with him, seconds before.

“Stephen Paddock” was often seen by entrance Paramount Studios Main Gate, to start fights during special events before 2017 Mandaley Bay shooting.

Transgender involved in this kind of murder are all born from insemination from the digestive system of ruminant animals (cattle, goats, sheep, deer) and the equine digestive system (horse).

Unresolved crimes people talk about for years:
 
Metro.lacounty.gov and Metro.la jumped their regular fare from 50-75-$100/month by switching domain to Metro.net  and buried their profit.
METRO.net writes, one TAP with the TAP card is valid 2 hours, one direction, unlimited transfers - but the customer needs a transfer-receipt for that.
By switching back to Metro.lacounty.gov and Metro.la (inner city) customers can get cash back on their TAP cards and free rides. Metro.Go has also been flipped domain to Go-Metro.com

Television Academy has loss of paid membership fees and voting, because payments get collected by one website NATAS.org, which got a new domain theemmys.tv- to login and enter a lottery, in another website emmys.com
Members from theemmys.tv are paying to login, with a separate password, and take over the "Voting Section" and Panels of the accounts of members from emmys.com. The account of emmys.com highlights inside, when another password is logging in the same account.
This can be resolved by knowing an old Swedish internet-server took over the website, to control outgoing emails and moving banners. Sweden was the first country in the world with a free internet server, when the domain, the web-address was only a number. Many websites in LA were switched over to this old Swedish internet-server before Covid-19.
.

The most common reason to lose a business and bury profits, is to change the spelling of a domain.
For example, changing the word Bank to Banks or Banken or Sportclubs to Fitnessclubs or Fitness.
From 2000 to 2007, KellerWilliams was both KellyWilliams and KellerWilliam printed on paper.
 
All Property Managements in LA get a flat fee of $150 per apartment per month for maintenance and on-site services as repair, trash-deposit, garden, pest-control, water-leak, security-gate included in the rent - but if the owners of the apartments (usually the City) don’t ask for any rent, the Property Managements can’t ask for any more money, just a symbolic fee ($1 - $25) -  because only new invented owners will show up on the internet.
US has no law about pet-deposit, because it's included in first month rent deposit.
Many renters pay rent to a "letter symbol” in Persian, Greek or Arabic alphabet, but in English have a different meaning. For example the letter Z in Persian alphabet is translated to kh, h, ch and j in the English alphabet.

Persian-Farsi has 3 letter-symbols translated to, "electricity paid by owner" as a name of the owner in a contract, meaning 2/3 of the rent deposit is to start a live-in renovation (1-2 days/month). Fixing an uneven floor is repair, but replacing the whole floor is renovation.

24 Hour Fitness (6380 W. Sunset blvd) had a Syrian half-black transgender, who also worked as staff for LA Fitness. She blocked repair of the 24HourFitness Spa-Pool in Hollywood since June 2019, because "she" claimed to own the water-pipes since renovation of pool floors, with help of an insurance company. The same person also blocked the washing of the free workout towels, for the same reason.   A blond Syrian man, (based in Stockholm) at the front-desk, explained to members the reason, "my girlfriend wanted to save water".

Lifetime membership for one club, "payable with check and money order only" from Bally's Total Fitness in New York, Manhattan have been sent to LA Fitness Hollywood, CA, to put a credit-card on top, by unknown new members, since change of domain from BallysTotalFitness to LAFitness in 2016. The Manhattan club members that paid "Lifetime membership-one club" to the old domain (BallysTotalFitness) can't get in the clubs of LAFitness in LA because their first name has been changed at the frontdesk - but not their last name.

At the same time, non-employed staff from LAFitness entered 24HourFitness to change their domain from “24HourSportclubs" to “24Hourfitness" in 2016 to control their billings, when Bally's Total Fitness in Manhattan closed their clubs, and changed their name to "LA Fitness" in Hollywood,CA.

800 Traction Avenue manager's name "Rollins" was used, as "Rollins & Rollins" for an online auction of commercial buildings and apartment complex, website: Ten-x.com.  The building on 800 Traction, LA was built 100 years ago, as only a name, without a number on S. Hewitt St. Los Angeles.

Tenants were paying rent to garage entrance on Traction Ave, when building was sold.
The commercial buildings on Ten-x.com are named CRE properties.
CBRE.us is a different company, and don’t work with Ten-x.com
Local LA news papers wrote; Two Vice Presidents from CBRE.us John Hillman and Greg Stanton sold 800 Traction Avenue building to DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners (www.dljrecp-parks.com) working at 400 South Hope, 25 floor, Los Angeles, 90071, which office is using the websites: 400SouthHope.com and GLL-Partners.com.
DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners have another company (an equity platform of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc) changing their website page to www2.dljrecp.com for US properties only.
DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners (www.dljrecp-parks.com) have no yearly news-statement listed, of their properties since January 2018, and haven't purchased a buildings in Los Angeles and US since 2011.
Tenants evicted from 800 Traction Avenue building, were offered to move into properties listed on www2.dljrecp.com, and pay more. Case still unresolved.

The Magic Mask - Key To Unsolved Mysteries

UPDATED August 24 2023


The Magic Mask - The Key to Unsolved Mysteries.
                                            
(Psychic stories, combined with real life facts can always be updated, because Sun and Moon never stop transit each other)
By Karen Ostlund

Prologue: Explains why the “magic mask” exists, and why some people spend the whole life to go after other people’s property assets.
In 1877, during time-change in atmosphere, cattle, goats, sheep and horses changed their digestive system to ruminant digestive system (plant-based food) and equine digestive system, which created a MALICE.
In generations the Syrian man looked at the tail of an animal (bull, deer, goat, sheep, horse) to choose an sperm-donor to inseminate his wife, then go and pray.
These animal semen are all straight-light-topaz-brown arab hair-cells (with various colors on top), that guarantee NO puberty in a human body, unless the animal has converted its digestive system to the same as a dog.
Cattle, deer, goat, sheep or horse can convert their digestive system to dog-food, when growing or adult, but they can NEVER convert back the stomach.
It can be interpreted, in the Bible, the Holy goat ate human food, to get a human soul, to give semen to Virgin Mary.
Ruminant digestive system : Cow, sheep, deer, moose, bull and goat
The MALICE comes from a human created from the semen from digestive system of cattle, deer, goat, sheep, horse - which can’t touch the ground. 
A human created this way grow an almost identical body and face, of a famous person, 7 years older, made from semen with digestive system of a human. 
It’s always the identical person, without puberty, who “floats on top in atmosphere” and takes over from the person with puberty.
All these "human copies" without puberty sink down to the bottom in atmosphere if, cattle, deer, goat, sheep and horse get fed dog-food and convert their digestive system. It can also be cheaper for their owners.

An old remedy to help humans born from insemination of the ruminant digestive system, was to puncture the bladder, and have the person lay straight for 7 days on the back, to heal. That way, the body touches the ground, in one day, and lose ability, to “float over” to take over someone's life.
Otherwise, the repeated behavior by these people is to give away someone's work to anyone - to lose everything, reach the bottom and become homeless - and from there start a regular work.
In autopsy it’s also found a thin skin layer that origin from ruminant digestive system of top of the stomach, which interfered with puberty.
 There was a time in the history when humans with a human father had to live in a castle,  because rest of the world were inseminated by animals from the ruminant digestive system.The only way  to live outside the castle was to raise a fur-animal, 4 years from birth with human food, and start with the parents of the animal. The chosen animal (deer, goat, sheep, calf, beer, donkey) had to start to grow Caucasian fur, smaller size without horns, and show it wants to take the hand of a the owner. At that time American Indians (redskins) used semen from anacondas and iguanas to inseminate their women, using a spitting technique, shown at documentaries.
In generations African tribes used semen from ostriches, which reflected in their dances and costumes.

In the 70s, Syria had the animal, which semen came from (calf, goat, sheep etc), written in the Syrian passport. Women born from insemination of sheep and goat-semen, could grow ovaries, therefor went to adopt two orphans, to live as a widow.The reason was to avoid having a male companion inject the calf semen.

Between 1877 and 1960, over a million Syrian women were inseminated with the calf semen (ruminant digestive system) which babies were taken to all Jewish adoption agencies in France and Germany - with intention to take over their family members. 
Babies to become warriors. This laid ground for 1st and 2nd world-war in history.
The calf-semen grab on to a fantasy world in work and private life, if inseminated and grow into an embryo in a human body. 
They visualize themselves, having the brain cut-in half, being shot in the forehead or their eye-globes turn over - so their mind can reach the ground.
They are involved in home-invasion, in form of hiding in a wall or ceiling of a bedroom, in a private home, and make noise - with intention to take over someone’s life and home. If the wall or ceiling is broken, and filled with anything, the intruder goes away.

Halloween, October 31st 1987, seven men, with Honolulu police documents, entered Universal Studios, off Lankershim blvd, with intention to become studio-executives without payroll - and supply the outside world with photos and film clips, of royals taken out of their castles - and make believe they still live there. Studio executives with payroll were taken out, and replaced by them.
This can be resolved by telling all employers with payroll to stay home, to see who shows up to work, and how many.
Every room of both Stockholm and Oslo castle should be checked, to see if it’s possible to meet any royals featured in press, because they have been taken out, one-by-one to a lower social level.


There was a small film studio inside Universal Studio's backlot, that supplied the outside world with reality film-clips about ISIS, political candidates and catastrophes, shown at all news channels.The film-studio was not hidden, but no-one knows what it was used for.
 - It was located stairs down, from a bread baking oven - where an American black woman knew the recipe of the french bread, baguette.
All employers without payroll, pulled "help-money” from catastrophes shown at all US news channels, sent out from this film-studio.
 
In 2008, the same Universal film-studio was used to pre-record, 30 minutes before the presidential speakers aired in TV - and to have another candidate's speech go over to President candidate Obama on film. 
Same speech, with the same gestures, but a different person. 
That’s why Melania Trump was accused doing the same speech (same pace) as Michelle Obama in 2016.
People Weekly Oct.1988

Reality film-clips altered in this Universal Studio aired in MTV:
 In 1987 singer Bruce Springsteen presented "a very special redhead" in a MTV TV show, which was Bonnie Raitt, who won her first Grammy the same year, (on internet moved to 1989)
In 1988, a new look-a-like Bruce Springsteen showed up in press, with almost the same voice, but a different ID name.
70s Rod Stewart album
Dec 26. 1987 MTV aired a live Christmas concert duet with Rod Stewart on tambourine and guitar, and Bruce Springsteen on guitar. 
Before the concert, tabloids had published photos of them, as a gay couple. 


People magazine didn’t know they published in Oct.1988, a photo-montage of a cover photo, of Patti Scialfa  on top of Rod Stewart  with Bruce Springsteen standing behind on stage, from the same MTV Christmas concert 1987.

In 1988, a very much look-a-like Rod Stewart showed up in press, who earlier performed his own live concerts in Athen, Greece.
Same voice, but different ID name. A good eye can detect three Rod Stewart, all 3 almost identical, the first Rod reach fame 1969, the 2nd in 1980 named MIKO, and the 3rd Rod in 1988. 
People forgot, that all 3 "Rod Stewart" were performing with different stage-names, but became 'Rod Stewart" after stopped singing in photos and video.
The 1980-87 "Rod Stewart" stopped singing after MTV Christmas concert December 1987.
Patti Scialfa was a stage-name, which name origin from a female black office staff, of a manager of 1980-87 Rod Stewart (Miko) in New York.

 
The reason the 1980-87 Rod Stewart stopped singing after 1987 MTV Christmas concert, was because a female manager pulled up his “mask” on stage, after 7 years of work together. (Stroll down to explain “mask”)
The female manager later moved into his apartment in West Hollywood, after he moved out.
 

The "facial-soul-mask" (mentioned below) is a facial-atom-gas that grows inside the mouth, in a skin pocket by a tooth. When it rupture, it goes over the lips, forehead, face, chin, neck and takes over vocal-cords.It stabilizes instantly an "identical facial mask” of someone, he/she lived or worked next to, for 7 years straight, in absent of sex, to go up in atmosphere.
A hairpiece is used if the original person’s hair is different.
A “facial-atom-mask" can be replaced by another person, with the same "mask", but the first "mask”  goes back to the bearer's original facial-features. 

A person of old age, can also build a “atom-mask by a tooth”, that rupture after 30 years, only by living on the same soul of a celebrity, (without living or working next to the person.) It’s very common in Hollywood. This happened to actor Harrison Ford in 1990, so he forgot he owned a house in Sweden.
This happened again 2014, and the 1st "Harrison Ford-mask" got his original face back, but his daughter got thrown out of her home, and his wife was taken to to airport by a man, to travel to LA, to prepare to activate her stored “mask” of Karen Bass from many years earlier, and run for LA Mayor in 2022.
Since 2014, a group of transgender entered the home in Sweden of the 2nd “Harrison Ford mask” to put an ad in the paper, that he passed away, to take over his family's property assets. He had a different face when he lived there.



 Among them:

In July 2007, Marini made debut with Shaun-Brent’s "facial-mask” in VH1 reality show ‘Rock of Love". Morrison saw Marini as an uncle, when he left LA in 2008, to work for an Aquarium in Miami.
In 1978, there was another Brett Michael "Wilken" taking insulin shots on film, while touring. He moved over to another rockband in the early 80s, but got replaced by another blond singer (Warren) in 1987.

Rob Klein, a top BTTF collector and  Special Guest Curator for this exhibit said,  “ In my opinion these three films are the most perfect in Cinematic history, in fact Universal Studios wanted a 4th installment –  however  both Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis agreed that the trilogy should not be revisited as they felt they had created and produced a trilogy that could not  get any better.”
