CrimeCon 2026

In this unprecedented second session on the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, we shift from the breach on October 1 to the aftermath. Det. Kenneth Mead provides an inside look at how law enforcement reconstructed one of the most complex crime scenes in American history, breaking down what investigators uncovered in the days and weeks that followed.

Officer Ashton Packe shares how officers processed the chaos in real time, while SWAT Officer Levi Hancock walks through how the tactical response unfolded. Det. Mead also explores how behavioral threat assessment and forensic psychology played a pivotal role in the effort to determine motive, including insight from interviews and the interrogation of the suspect’s girlfriend.

Together, the three officials confront the human toll of the tragedy — survival, resilience, trauma, and the lasting impact on first responders, the community, and the nation. This session is not only about what happened, but what changed in the areas of response, recovery, and prevention.

Two days. One city. One of the most pivotal moments in modern American history — examined through raw firsthand accounts, unflinching honesty, and hard-earned insight.
