Security guard shot by Vegas gunman in encounter before massacre goes missing
“We have had no contact with him…Clearly, somebody knows where he is,” President of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America union David Hickey, told the Los Angeles Times.
Mr Hickey was helping Campos get ready for his TV appearances in a Las Vegas hotel on Thursday when the guard disappeared. Hickey told the Times he was in a meeting in one room with MGM, which owns the Mandalay Bay Resort, while Campos sat in the other room but when he returned around 2pm, Campos was gone.

Now changes in the shooting timeline by authorities have left various unanswered questions.

They later changed that timeline saying that the guard was shot six minutes before Paddock even began firing into country music concertgoers from the 32nd floor at 9.59pm, and then alerted authorities to the gunman's whereabouts.
The story then changed again with Campos being shot at 10.05pm.

In one of his earlier interviews, ABC News, Campos said, "I'm fine...I was just doing my job".
Las Vegas Metro Police Undersheriff Kevin McMahill had told KNPR, a local NPR affiliate, that Campos was on the 32nd floor to check on a door alarm when he noticed that the stairwell door was blocked. He radioed a maintenance worker, who arrived and when the two started talking, then Paddock started shooting the door of his room.
But a former guard told the LA Times that the Mandalay Bay has no alarm system for doors.
“You know how often people would have to call hotel guests if that was the case,” he told the Times.
Outside of Campos’s home in Las Vegas on Sunday, a guard told the Times that he had been hired to keep reporters off the property.
