Yeah...no real big "aha" moment...but it did seem they shed a little light on what kind of life he was leading up to that day...
It sounds like he really had a problem. It's sad to know that his mother did not get him help but allowed him to just lock himself away in his room and not communicate with anyone. I mean...living with someone but only being allowed to communicate via email???

He was 6 feet tall and weighed 112 lbs.
That alone should have had someone's attention.
He was permitted to refuse medications and suggested therapies at age 13.
State's Atty has written 48 pages. Thanks OP. I'm sure many are interested in the facts on weapons, etc. The media dropped the ball as usual reporting facts on this case.
FOIA Act will not allow release names of victims?. I find that a bit odd.
In the pictures posted of him he was a really spooky looking kid..........almost alien-like. His eyes were very disturbing. The fact he was so obsessed with school shootings probably wasn't known by anyone until they started sifting through his writings and computer.
Those poor kids and teachers............what their last moments alive must have been like.
He was permitted to refuse medications and suggested therapies at age 13.
I have a 13 year old with AS. It isn't permitted.
Yes, i wondered that too...what a low weight for someone of his height. Could that be attributed to some sort of medical/mental condition?? I don't know much about it but that stuck out to me as well.
"Other items found and noted for this report are:
- A Christmas check from the mother to the shooter to purchase a CZ 83 firearm;39
- A New York Times article from February 18, 2008, regarding the school shooting at
Northern Illinois University;
- Three photographs of what appear to be a dead human, covered in blood and wrapped in
plastic;
- The book Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy, Jossey-Bass, 2007, by
Donald B. Kraybill, Steven Nolt and David Weaver-Zercher;
40
and
- Photocopied newspaper articles from 1891 pertaining to the shooting of school children"
"While the vast majority of persons interviewed had no explanation for the shooter’s actions, a
review of electronic evidence or digital media that appeared to belong to the shooter, revealed
that the shooter had a preoccupation with mass shootings, in particular the Columbine
shootings41 and a strong interest in firearms. For example, there was a spreadsheet with mass
murders over the years listing information about each shooting. "
"- Materials regarding the topic of pedophilia and advocating for rights for pedophiles (not
child pornography)42"
"The mother said that she had plans to sell her home in Newtown and move to either Washington
state or North Carolina. She reportedly had told the shooter of this plan and he apparently stated
that he wanted to move to Washington. The intention was for the shooter to go to a special
school in Washington or get a computer job in North Carolina. In order to effectuate the move,
the mother planned to purchase a recreational vehicle (RV) to facilitate the showing and sale of
the house and the eventual move to another state. The RV would provide the shooter with a place
to sleep as he would not sleep in a hotel. In fact, during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, with
no power in the house, the shooter refused to leave the home and go to a hotel."
"The shooter was particular about the food that he ate and its arrangement on a plate in relation to
other foods on the plate. Certain types of dishware could not be used for particular foods. The
mother would shop for him and cook to the shooter’s specifications, though sometimes he would
cook for himself."
"A person who knew the shooter in 2011 and 2012 said the shooter described his relationship with
his mother as strained because the shooter said her behavior was not rational. "
"The mother did the shooter’s laundry on a daily basis as the shooter often changed clothing
during the day. She was not allowed in the shooter’s room, however, even to clean. No one was
allowed in his room."
"The shooter disliked birthdays, Christmas and holidays. He would not allow his mother to put up
a Christmas tree. The mother explained it by saying that shooter had no emotions or feelings.
The mother also got rid of a cat because the shooter did not want it in the house."
"Those who worked on the property at 36 Yogananda Street never entered the home. They spoke
with the mother outside in the yard or at the bottom of driveway. They were instructed never to
ring the doorbell and to make prior arrangements before using power equipment as her son had
issues with loud noises."
"It was reported that his school
issues related to his identified emotional and/or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)
spectrum behaviors. His high level of anxiety, Asperger’s characteristics, Obsessive Compulsive
Disorder (OCD) concerns and sensory issues all impacted his performance to a significant
degree, limiting his participation in a general education curriculum."
He was permitted to refuse medications and suggested therapies at age 13.

Well, mom had a few kinks in her own slinky, you know. I would not be surprised to hear that a doomsday prepper like her had some unconventional ideas about mental health treatment. they may also have had legimtimately bad experienmces with treatment that led them to stay away from it.
Yes, i wondered that too...what a low weight for someone of his height. Could that be attributed to some sort of medical/mental condition?? I don't know much about it but that stuck out to me as well.
I have a son with AS. He had severe issues with eating and low weight until he got on the right medication regime. The weight reported by the coroner put him at a BMI of a bit less than 16%, very underweight. I'd like to know if he was ever seen by a doctor for this. My guess would be it was related to the Asperger's .....
