Unable to determine why Stephen Paddock opened fire at a music festival in Las Vegas, the FBI is erecting billboards across Nevada encouraging people to help uncover his motive.

“We still do not have a clear motive or reason why,” a frustrated Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said Friday, the Independent reports. “We have looked at literally everything.”

Investigators have examined 1,000 leads and the politics, finances and social behavior of Paddock but have yet to determine what prompted Paddock to pull off the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

“We have been down each and every one of these paths,” McMahill said. “We all want answers.”

The billboards will encourage anyone with information to call 800-CALL-FBI.

“If you know something, say something,” said Aaron Rouse, agent in charge of the Las Vegas FBI office. “We will not stop until we have the truth.”
