Or better yet, answer the simple question why the FBI doesn’t have any murders listed for Newtown for the year 2012 on the link I posted on post #9.

That’s an easy question actually. They aren’t listed under Newtown because Newtown didn’t report them to the FBI.

The rules for the UCR program, when it comes to crimes investigated by multiple agencies, state:

“When two or more local, county, state, tribal, or federal LEAs are involved in the investigation of the same offense, the agency with investigative jurisdiction based on local, county, state, tribal, and federal law and/or applicable interagency agreements or memorandums of understanding should report the offense.”

In Sandy Hook, the lead investigative agency was the Connecticut State Police, so the homicides were reported by the state, not by Newtown, and can be found simply by looking at the correct table:
