For RED flags to work someone first has to raise them.
Dr. Massnick and Pierre Pacheco will walk attendees down the path of Omar Mateen, the
Pulse nightclub shooter, who, for sixteen months, was the most prolific mass shooter in United States history. Sadly, this shooting will have its five year memorial the weekend following CrimeCon.
Dr. Massnick will take attendees through Mateen's early years and how he exhibited many of the red flags exhibited by other mass shooters. Those flags, however, did NOT go unnoticed or unreported. Attendees will see video from Mateen while he was a college student and will see firsthand the change in his behavior.
Finally, Pacheco will explain how he interviewed Mateen personally and will reveal some of the reasons as to why he alerted others to Mateen's behavior as well as denied him entrance into the police academy, which prevented him from becoming a law enforcement officer. Pacheco, along with three FBI agents, are the only people who have access to truly know and understand who the Pulse nightclub shooter really was.
