If you read the final report, it clearly says it took 7 days to process the interior and exterior of the school crime scene.

Oh for Pete's sake. I can't believe how dumb some people can be.

Without spelling it out in graphic detail, why would anyone *not* want the crime scene cleaned???

Do you actually think they have people come in and clean a crime scene before they are done processing it?

OP,

Respectfully, no Investigators or ME "ever" "ever" calls the next of kin to come down and ID a victim at > the crime scene< not ever.

And, I might add, not one as horrific and terrible as this one, I say RIP and "Blue Skies" to the teachers and children..

JenniferL and other conspiracy theorists: again, I am curious as to WHY some people need to see a conspiracy behind this horrendous event? What, exactly, do they think happened, and more importantly, WHY -- WHY would such an event be made up? No one ever seems to have an answer to those questions. (Third time I've asked IN THIS THREAD, but the conspiracy theorists have ignored my posts.)

The conspiracy that you seem to think happened would have taken the cooperation of hundreds if not thousands of individuals, all keeping some "secret of Newtown." (Sounds like a bad movie on the sci-fi channel.) It boggles the mind that anyone with a working brain could believe such a thing.

This wasn't just any old crime scene, was it.

But you didn't answer my question: Why would you *not* want the crime scene cleaned?

Maybe they could study the building acoustics of gunshots and answer the OP's question about what the survivors heard.
I can understand why they would want to learn as much about the crime scene and the events that happened that day. I do not understand why doing that in a cleaned environment is mandatory, though.

Conspiracy theorists can't even make up their collective minds on whether Sandy Hook was real or not. Some outright deny that anybody died that day, while others believe that the tragedy did occur, but was perpetrated by people within our own government as some act of propaganda to further a specific agenda. Short of seeing kids being shot up with their own eyes purely for entertainment purposes, some will never believe it. What is this obsession with needing to see murder being committed in order to believe it happened?

Psychologically speaking, the human mind is very adept at repressing and blocking out traumatic events. Anyone that has ever worked with trauma survivors knows this is a well documented fact. Other the most depraved among us would want to see dead children lying in a pool of blood. And, for those first responders that do see that kind of thing - they would love to be able to just soon forget it.

I think everyone should actually learn what 'cleaning a crime scene' means before reading into it too much and making assumptions. Here's a hint: it's not what you see on TV.

If I saw shadows in everything I found 'strange,' rather than just admit to not understanding at the moment, I'd drive myself insane. Hmmmmm.
