We have no idea if this information will be borne out, but even without considering the source, there is no reason to believe the story at present.
I too was thinking that if she had filed papers already, that could be pretty easily verified by the court.

You ain't kidding. That makes about as much sense as trying to hide presents for the holidays. Kids know what's going on in the house especially the older ones. They may not tell you but they know what's up.

I heard his mother's sister's cousin knew the gardener of the guy who worked at the grocery store owned by the man who once shined the shoes of the cleaner who laundered his shirts and he said Lanza was "scary looking".

How fricking low is the media?

I want to hear from this reverend himself to give me the answer. So far he has left the premises.

This story has been on the news all day.

This would seem plausible.
Another example of why we laugh at them.

I never do.

Perhaps you should learn how to use the internet.

Breitfart is not a reputable source. Not saying the story isn't true, just saying I"m believing that rag that is known to purposely distort information.

Confidentiality requirements would rule out the preacher discussing other people's personal problems with family.

If this is true (and that's a big if), then that's the motive for killing his mother. But, why the little kids?

Maybe the kids represented the age when Adam began to be made fun of at school when he was a kid and that started his regression into becoming a lone...............a outcast. So he chose them to be executed.

So far the only sources I found are Fox News, Breitfart, and NY Daily Post - all right wing rags

Not saying it isn't true, just waiting for a legitimate news site to report it
