According to an exclusive report to FoxNews.com, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the person responsible for killing 13 and wounding 29 at Fort Hood last Thursday, was a frequent visitor to a local strip club.

Employees of the Starz strip club told FoxNews that Hasan visited the club at least three times in the past month. The general manager of Starz, Matthew Jones, said “The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours.”

The significance of Hasan visiting a strip club is that in doing so he has portrayed a far different character than that of a devout Muslim as described by his family.

In fact, his family said that Hasan had had difficulty finding a wife “who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.”

Starz is located down the road from Fort Hood’s main gated entrance and doesn’t serve alcohol; however, customers can bring their own beer and liquor, and the club supplies ice buckets and mixers.

According to Jennifer Jenner, a dancer at Starz with the stage name ‘Paige’, Hasan had recently purchased a lap dance from her for two consecutive nights. Jenner said he paid $50 per dance which took place in a private room at the club on both October 29 and 30.

Jenner told FoxNews, "I remembered his face because it was the first lap dance I [gave] to a customer while working here," she said. "When I saw his face [Friday] on TV, I jumped out of bed, I knew it was him."

Jenner also said that Hasan preferred blonds and told the strippers that he was about to be deployed. "He asked us why we were working at the strip club, if we liked the lifestyle, if we had any kids," she said.

Jenner also had asked Hasan why he chose to come to Starz instead of the other clubs and he told her, "I like it here because no one I work with is here."

"I just can't believe that he's the one who killed all those people. You know, he tipped every girl as she came off the stage after her dance. He was a really good tipper."
