For a young man who has been described as withdrawn from the outside world, Lanza's computer room is likely a gold mine for detectives, a veteran law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told Yahoo News.
"If he visited certain websites, they are going to glean whatever information they can from that and see what it means," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly. "Does he have friends he communicates with online? Was there a fight with somebody?"
Lt. J. Paul Vance with the Connecticut State Police told reporters Sunday morning that investigators are scrutinizing the guns Lanza took to the school, including the semiautomatic military-style rifle the state's medical examiner said was used in the school killings.
"The weaponry involved, we are tracing historically all the way back to when they were on the workbench being assembled," Lt. Vance said.
However, he declined to discuss what else has been recovered from the Lanza home.
"Simply stated, we have a great deal of evidence that we're analyzing," Lt. Vance said. "The forensic part is an important part. That's not done yet."
While the gunman is thought to have acted alone, the law enforcement source said a deep dive into Lanza's computers could provide more clues.
"You don't know if this kid was put up to this by somebody else," the source said. "You don't know if there was a conspiracy of sorts. You don't know if there wasn't somebody who wasn't goading this kid on."

I wish they’d make up their minds, yesterday they said the rifle wasn’t used.
The key will be what prescriptrion drugs hw was on.
CBS News’ Bob Orr reported Sunday morning on “Face The Nation” that police found two smashed computers in the home. Law enforcement authorities have collected the computer pieces to see what information might be retrieved.

It won’t come to light but I have a feeling he was manipulated by either in person or online by the OWS group.
Nothing else some people may very well be scrubbing his past history on the web because the trigger is coming from way up high.
Casey Anthony googled about making poison and they never brought it up at trial...
I am thinking the “Prepper” movement might play into it as we’ll. the “Aunt” did not come off well in her interview...
In this case there won’t be a trial.
But...if someone goaded him this could get pretty messy.
Unless there is another actor, there will not be a trial...
If they were leftist sites/goaders we’ll likely never hear about it
As long as the platters on the drives are intact, and he didn’t secure while the data, they’ll be able to retrieve a lot of it...
Wanna destroy data? Microwave your HD...
True ...if it was someone like OWS etc.
But, it could have also been a highschool prank being played on the social inept kid. While face to face interactions may have been difficult for him, internet may be not so much?
With the way the MSM Propaganda media works these days....I’ll say $10 easy they “Find” or (Place) web history and user accounts for pretty much every Enemy of the left.
The police will investigate and find out all the details. Then they’ll lock the files away and that will be the end of it.
Of course, people want to know what caused this. We already know in a general way, but there may be significant details that we don’t know.
But the only possible reason why any of it might be made public would be if they decide that others were accomplices in this crime, because they knew about it but did nothing to stop it. And even there, they could simply plead ignorance and say that had no idea he would really DO it.
I seriously doubt whether they will try to blame or prosecute anyone else, although I suppose they have to check all the loose ends.
We’ll never know the entire story, here. This is for “their” one cause and one cause only: total gun control. Everything irrelevant and tangential will be *sanitized*.
Yes they did bring it up, the Mom said she did the search due to her dog; afraid her dog would get poisoned. Then they found out Mom was at work at the time search was done...
Eric the red and America’s KGB knockoff (DHS), would not be looking for terrorists by association, would they?
Well, as long as the shooter was not a Democrat, Muslim or communist, guilt by association of in military service (vets are all potential terrorists because McVeigh was a vet) is a-ok. So I guess it is okay here, too. Look out goths.
Why? What's the point? They know who LEGALLY purchased these guns.
What a waste and what a bunch of dumb basses.
I recall watching a report that a man wearing camouflage pants and dark jacket was picked -up by police in some woods near the school when the shooting was taking place. Don’t know if true and if the guy was involved. Just haven’t heard anymore about it. There was also mentioned in news articles that there was a “secondary “ shooting in NJ. Haven’t heard anymore about that either.
