Those Extra Gas Masks

Before we begin, let me make something clear to you:  Officers that were at the theater shooting crime scene testified that there were FOUR gas masks found (NONE of them belonged to cops) and only TWO of them belonged to James.  At least three of these gas masks were found on the ground outside of his car.  Why would he have so many? And why would he take them all out of his car and leave them on the ground? WHO DID THE OTHER TWO BELONG TO? Now that we got that out of the way.... For months and months we saw photos of the back of the theater (crime scene) and wondered where those extra gas masks came from.  Especially since one was dropped on the FAR south east corner of the parking lot, near Sable Boulevard.  It was as if someone was running away from the theater WITH a gas mask and dropped it before getting to the main road.  We've definitely seen that distant gas mask that I'm speaking of, previously.  It was marked as evidence #1 right next to that knife that was covered by a piece of paper and then so conveniently photoshopped out by CNN. Remember that? The photo that when clicked on, took you straight to a photoshop artists website? Then the director of CNN resigns shortly after? Just wanted to jog your memory for you a bit:

Yeah. Many people assumed the gas mask belonged to officers that were at the scene but we all know that they're capable of determining which gas masks are officer issued and which ones are not, since that's how they supposedly figured out James was a suspect. *Eye roll.*  Besides, they wouldn't mark their own equipment as evidence.  So during the preliminary hearings in January 2013, an officer that was at the scene testified on the stand that he accidentally picked up one of James Holmes' gas masks, walked about a hundred feet, and dropped it there.  Seems legit.

When news reporter Jessica Fender was questioned further about this, she stated that it was "too complicated for 140 characters".  I'm sure it is.

Front driver's side we can see another gas mask next to some strange tank object that nobody's really been able determine what it is.  

Another gas mask along with the gear near the dumpster. I wonder where the fourth mask was located:
