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...

If this person and family came in from India; have been unable to find out if this person came in from India and from the northern region near Pakistan, it would be possible, though have not pursued that avenue. Am finding ties piasa mentioned regarding LTTE and possible moslem activity cooperation.

searches have offered the name suggestion of Sivakumaran (Indian origin)

Saw that too mnehring. Could be as simple as spelling error upon family entering the country through paperwork or even intentional, though have been unable to find that information of if or when did the family enter the country, and on what basis if came in via front door.

pulled this from Wikipedia ... you may already be aware of this below, in fact am certain you are ... posting for the benefit of others.

LTTE was worth US$ 200-300 million at its peak. The group's global network owned numerous business ventures in various countries. These include investment in real estate, shipping, grocery stores, gold and jewelery stores, gas stations, restaurants, production of films, mass media organizations (TV, radio, print), industries, etc. It was also in control of numerous charitable organizations including Tamils Rehabilitation Organization, which was banned and funds were frozen by United States Treasury in 2007 for covertly financing terrorism.

Indians with Christian names (James Oliver) are generally Christian. Some have Portuguese surnames as well.

Hearing and reading rumblings that the perp’s original name may not have been james oliver. Have no proof yet, so am working from speculation.

Well if my name was Ahmed or Dharun and I changed it to James Oliver, I’d change Seevakumarun to Seaver as well.

James Oliver

just a point of interest (or was for me) if you are not aware James Oliver is a Scot given credit for inventing the iron and then steel plow. Not saying is related to anything just adding to the mix.

Really? Did they have such different capabilities? I was basically generalizing, anyway.

“Like someone on another thread said,all the gun control in the world wouldn’t have stopped this moron from killing people.”

100%. The biggest mass murder by an individual was with a gallon of gasoline. The Happy Land Fire. The perp was found guilty of 80+ murders and is still serving the longest sentence in NY.

Wikipedia used to list all the top mass murders but they recently conveniently changed the list to only gun murders. Why? All the top acts of murder were arson, bombings and plane hijackings. I think guns came in 25th or 30th on the list.

Even with today's gun-free zones that give shooters plenty of time to unload, bombs and fire are much more deadly in the hands of a madman.
