Authorities try to piece together Orlando killer’s movements
Wife might
have known
about attack
By JAY REEVES

ORLANDO, Fla. — Omar
Mateen drove around the
Orlando area the night before
the nightclub massacre, visit-
ing several places, the mayor
said Wednesday as investi-
gators tried to piece together
the killer’s movements and
zeroed in on how much his
wife may have known about
the plot.
An oficial who was
briefed on the case but
insisted on anonymity to dis-
cuss a continuing investiga-
tion said authorities believe
the wife, Noor Salman, knew
ahead of time about the plans
for the attack that left 49 vic-
tims dead, but they are reluc-
tant to charge her on that basis
alone.
Investigators have spoken
extensively with her and are
working to establish whether
she recently accompanied
Mateen to the Pulse club, said
a second oficial who was not
authorized to discuss the case
publicly. The oficial said
investigators have not ruled
out charging others, including
Salman.

use location data to verify
whether he previously vis-
ited the club, the oficial said.
Orlando is nearly a two-hour
drive from Mateen’s home in
Fort Pierce, Florida.
Orlando Mayor Buddy
Dyer said Mateen drove
around on Saturday night
before he opened ire at the
gay nightclub about 2 a.m.
Sunday in an attack that ended
with the 29-year-old Ameri-
can-born Muslim being killed
by a police SWAT team.
“What I know concretely
is that he was driving around
that evening and visited sev-
eral locations,” Dyer said.
When asked exactly where
Mateen visited, and whether
the locations included theme
parks as reported in news
accounts, Dyer said, “I think
it’s been pretty accurately
depicted on the news.” He
gave no further details.
A survivor of the mas-
sacre, 20-year-old Patience
Carter, shed more light on
Mateen’s thinking, saying he
talked about wanting America
to “stop bombing my country”
— a possible reference to his
father’s native Afghanistan.
A number of possible
motives and explanations
have emerged, with Mateen
calling 911 to profess alle-
giance to the Islamic State
group, his ex-wife saying he
was mentally ill and his father
suggesting he hated gays.
On Tuesday, the picture
grew more complex when a
U.S. oficial said the FBI was
looking into a lurry of news
reports quoting people as say-
ing Mateen frequented the
nightspot and reached out to
men on gay dating apps. The
oficial was not authorized to
discuss the investigation and
also spoke on condition of
anonymity.
Some psychologists raised
the possibility that Mateen
was sexually conlicted and
lashed out, or else was cas-
ing the nightclub and trying to
ind potential victims online.
Mateen’s father, Seddique
Mateen, denied his son was
gay and said that if he had
been in the nightclub before,
he may have been “scouting
the place.”
Mateen’s ex-wife, Sitora
Yusuiy, said earlier in the
week that he was mentally
ill and abusive. Amid the lat-
est reports about his club-go-
ing, she told CNN: “Well,
when we had gotten married,
he confessed to me about his
past that was recent at that
time and that he very much
enjoyed going to clubs and the
nightlife and there was a lot of
pictures of him.”
“I feel like it’s a side of
him or a part of him that he
lived but probably didn’t want
everybody to know about,”
she said.

Washington. Associated Press
