Morbid find suggests murder-obsessed gunman Adam Lanza plotted Newtown, Conn.'s Sandy Hook massacre for years

Law enforcement reportedly discovers a sickeningly thorough 7-foot-long, 4-foot-wide spreadsheet with names, body counts and weapons from previous mass murders and even attempted killings. 'It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research,' an anonymous law enforcement veteran said.

It is three months since the killings in Newtown, since 20 children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School less than two weeks before Christmas. And as bad as the story was, and will always be, it is even worse than we originally knew because now we discover that this was slaughter by spreadsheet. It has been reported previously that law enforcement found research about previous mass murderers at the Newtown, Conn., home the shooter, video gamer Adam Lanza, shared with his mother, the first victim of Dec. 14. It was more than that, and worse than that.

What investigators found was a chilling spreadsheet 7 feet long and 4 feet wide that required a special printer, a document that contained Lanza’s obsessive, extensive research — in nine-point font — about mass murders of the past, and even attempted murders.

But it wasn’t just a spreadsheet. It was a score sheet.

“We were told (Lanza) had around 500 people on this sheet,” a law enforcement veteran told me Saturday night. “Names and the number of people killed and the weapons that were used, even the precise make and model of the weapons. It had to have taken years. It sounded like a doctoral thesis, that was the quality of the research.”

The law enforcement vet attended the International Association of Police Chiefs and Colonels mid-year meeting in New Orleans last week, a conference where state police colonels share...

Knowing Lt. Vance, I suspect Stebbins in in big trouble with the boss.

This kid, like the ones in Colorado and Arizona were easily identifiable but were protected by their progressive parents.

Couldn't agree more. My first thought when I read "7 foot chart" was, "Dig up his mother and shoot her again."

Another interesting thing about theTamil tigers is that they have an extensive student network in the US and Canada using universities as bases...and of course they are Marxists so they would likely be on board anything the CPUSA comes up with to complement the president’s gun control plans. They of course won’t be affected by any bans since they are already smugglers to begin with, i anything they stand to gain.

Not too long ago a Tamil Tiger / LTTE group got busted trying to smuggle cocaine in a submarine off Costa Rica. Arms as well.

There were also two Tamils extradited tot he US back in December so there could be some anger there as in the sort that the MB of egypt has for us keeping the blind sheikh under lock and key.

The Tamils were also suspected of involvement in the bombing of the USS Cole.

And there has also been some arrests in a case of LTTE smuggling guess what..?

MANPADs .... wonder where they got those?

Correction.... trying to purchase MANPADs/antiaircraft missiles. Got caught in a sting.

Now they don't have to try to buy from the FBI any more they can just go to Libya.

Thanks piasa. I think you have answered my earlier question of ties outside of country. Much appreciation.

Ties back to southern border. Open border ... fewer checks ... fewer checks ... more smuggling. Adds up to 2 + 2 = 4

Special printer my butt. Apparently these morons aren’t aware Excel automatically breaks it up for standard paper and you can customize it, too.

It sounds like it was a seamless sheet, which would have required a "special printer," or plotter, like something at Kinko's, Staples, or maybe a school graphics department.

It would be interesting if a store employee ignored it.

“The gunman is identified as James Seevakumaran, a business major. The 30-year-old had not enrolled for the spring semester.”

Yet, he lived in the dorms. That’s odd.

Dang ... no wonder the lame-stream drive bys are staying quiet and our people in D.C. are turning traitor. They are either afraid, paid off, or think the American People are so stupid that word of what is inside and outside our country lining up against us will never become common knowledge, and thus far the lame-stream drive bys and the politicians have common knowledge of the problems and lies being told and the People are told to eat their peas, sit down, and shut up. The plans by the enemy are working to perfection. Since we are Americans, there is definitely a monkey wrench to throw. Thanks piasa, the flow of information on this day has been breathtaking.

The only facts in this case are allowed to come from Lt. Vance’s microphone. All other material on this case should be discarded and ignored.

And those spreading information...rather, mis-information, will be punished. Per Lt. Vance.

There is supposed to be a court-ordered gag on all this stuff. You have to love the way thing useful to the Joyce people leak out.

Have been researching the last name of Seevakumaran (perp last name in Florida stopped before attack this AM) and am finding strangely no information. According to everything have checked today ... there is nobody living in the US with this last name.

That's an unsolved search engine challenge.

Whenever a nobody becomes a somebody via committing a mass-murder, whatever search-engine trail that may have existed prior to the act is instantly obliterated by highly duplicative search engine news results. Oh, they have date filters, but those are highly unreliable.

My take on this is that he lived in a fantasy world for many years and viewed reality as a threat to it.

Thanks. Makes sense. Strangest of all is the last name of perp. There was a mention of family (mother and father) living in Florida yesterday. No mention of siblings. Name is rare from everything have gathered. Rare to the point of near nonexistence.

If his mother had exercised gun control, she might have stopped the killing or reduced the body count.

If Adam Lanza had to buy his own guns, explosives or poisons, someone might have noticed what a scary, unbalanced person he was.

Seevakumaran I would think is an Indian immigrant, and Christian.
