BREAKING: Orlando Shooter’s Wife “Missing”

At the center of the investigation into the shooting that left 49 dead and 53 injured in Orlando has been the shooter’s wife, Noor Salman. Allegedly, she had information regarding the attack that could have assisted law enforcement in preventing the attack.

Criminal charges may be filed against her, and a grand jury is now considering just that, according to NPR.

Local police recently went to Seddique Mateen’s house to speak with his son’s wife, but the problem is that she was not there and Seddique would not make known her location.
The Sun-Sentinel reports:

At a Fort Pierce home where members of the Mateen family were believed to have gathered inside, Seddique Mateen — father of the Orlando massacre shooter Omar Mateen — said Wednesday morning that Omar’s wife Noor Salman was “no longer here” and that she was no longer in the area. He would not say where she had gone.

Reporters were outside the house again Wednesday after also gathering there Tuesday.

At about noon, St. Lucie County sheriff’s deputies arrived, went into the house for a few minutes, then left. The deputies who came and went did not comment.

Seddique Mateen, who also has been giving media interviews from his Port St. Lucie home, asked reporters to leave the Fort Pierce house and said Noor Mateen was not inside. He alluded to other family members being there, but didn’t say who was inside.

What we have here is a potential fugitive from justice on the loose. It is strongly possible that Mateen’s radical Islamic ilk in the area helped Noor leave the area in order to avoid prosecution for complicity in the terrorist attack.

As of now, it’s not 100% clear why exactly she is not in the area; but knowing the magnitude of potential charges against her, it would not be surprising if she did flee the region.

As more details emerge, we will continue to update your regarding the aftermath of this attack.
