While Newtown buried two more young victims Tuesday in the shooting massacre, authorities said they found no evidence the gunman who killed 27 people was being medicated for mental illness.
Investigators searching the Connecticut home gunman Adam Lanza shared with his mother, Nancy Lanza, seized cellphones, computers and computer games, but found nothing at the residence to indicate he was taking medication, Hearst Connecticut Newspapers reported.
Authorities armed with search warrants are still working to obtain the 20-year-old man's medical records, according to the report. Lanza's parents told friends and divorce mediators that their son had Asperger's syndrome, a form of high-functioning autism, but it was unclear if he had ever been formally diagnosed.

That might be an explanation for killing the mother, what about the adults at the school? And most of all why the children? What possible role could they have had in his life? I can not think of any.
This person was just an evil murderous depraved monster.
Mother's are mothers, good hearted, soft, want to please, that is just the way we are made.
Her boy knew exactly how to manipulate her to get what he wanted. Sweet one minute, the devil the next if he does not get his way.
Moms are not naturally spankers, and in this day and age I don't think anyone is.
By the time Ms. Lanza finally understood what he was doing, she sought help. I too would have told that kid "Get off your lazy azz and get a job". That is what I think happened.
Adams play time easy life was over.
Check out Drudge’s main headline.
Looks like one of the side effects is weight gain (in addition to possibly feeling like hurting yourself or others).
Is the fat Adam Lanza anarchist Facebook someone put up earlier him?
Possibly his mother discussed with Adam that she thought it was time for him to get on with his life, get a job and that she had discussed this with the adults at the school.
Now he is in a RAGE knowing that she discussed HIM with the outside world. The children may have been just a convenient defenseless afterthought in that rage, as he knew his mother loved those children. Jealousy and Hate?
Seeing as he smashed his hard drives, he probably threw out his medication as well.
We'll learn the truth soon enough once the toxicology reports and medical records are released and then, I'll wager, he was taking something.
Guns don't cause delusions, mania and paranoia. Some medications do including the one that he was on or withdrawing from.
I wish people would stop talking about this being time for “the healing to begin.” Are they high? The dead aren’t even buried, parents are still staggering around in shock, the dead children’s gifts are still under the tree, and someone says it’s time for the healing to begin?? They should get a riflebutt to the teeth for such a remark. It’ll be months and months before there’s any “healing.” These people are still dripping blood from their hearts, for pete’s sake.
Time will tell.
Whether he was medicated or not will be VERY interesting. There are conflicting claims. If it turns out that one of these “serotonin re-uptake inhibitor” drugs is involved it will be no surprise.
I do believe there was an Argument of some sort in that home. Most likely he knew his Playhouse and easy life was about over, one way or another.
I will withhold an opinion on if he had a mental illness for now. More in my opinion just a 20 year old Manipulative, lazy Brat.
Spare the Rod, spoil the child, (and call it autism, give them Ritilin.)
“Medications don’t make a person a killer any more than does a gun”. http://www.ssristories.com/index.php
At this point in all the speculation, nothing would suprise me. lol
I hear you.
I’m very curious to learn exactly what “meds” he was on as well. The dispensing of medication to adolescents is troubling to me.
Either way, spoiled brat or whatever.....he was obviously not right. I’m curious to hear the “rest of the story”. Might take awhile, though.
Thread Headline: No evidence of medication.
20 years of spoiling a child by a loving and caring mother who can never be what he needed, a stern Father.
I am waiting to hear what his father has to say about Adam, then we may know something of truth.
It's worth looking at for 30 seconds. I urge you to click on this link and just take half a minute scanning the information here:
I think a lot of this is driveby media over-reach. Trying to be the first on this and that, they out did themselves time and again by spouting idle speculation, second hand heresy and conjecture as fact.
This happens during every crisis, tragedy, attack, etc.
Consider 9/11 (Capitol blown up, White house hit), Katrina (people in Superdome eating each other), Aurora (must be TEA partier), etc.
NONE of it was fact. We had to wait.
There’s usually about 10 minutes of real news in a 24 hour period, but then they have to find something to fill the airwaves with for another 23 hours and 50 minutes.
When stuff like this happnes, they have an hours worth of real news, but still 23 hours of talk-talk-talk.
It already has been reported that the kid was given Fanopt. Why are you repeating the gun grabbing Ruppert Murdoch's, Fox's misleading headline.
Way more to this than just a spoiled brat, this guy systematically executed one 6 year old after another
I did not mean to come off snarky to you. I apologize.
I believe one of the theories that is out there now,(who knows?), is that mother was going to committ Adam to the hospital.
I don’t think he was “spoiled”, I think he was very seriously mentally ill and unfortunately we have severe limitations on treating the very mentally ill. Its not an easy thing. We pay a high price for freedom. I am sure that this poor mother tried everything she could and it wasn’t easy for her. And of course, dad took off.
Having said that, I am for having either a trained in guns teacher armed or a police officer in the schools.
Back at ya: "It already has been reported that the kid was given Fanopt"
Really, must not have been to loudly. What is Fanopt anyway?
