http://to.pbs.org/UTxCxL Coming February 19, 2013. In the wake of the mass killings at Sandy Hook, FRONTLINE looks for answers to the elusive question: who was Adam Lanza?


In the wake of the mass killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, FRONTLINE investigates a young man and the town he changed forever. Adam Lanza left behind a trail of death and destruction, but little else. He left no known friends, no diary. He destroyed his computer and any evidence it might have provided. His motives, and his life, remain largely a mystery. In collaboration with The Hartford Courant, FRONTLINE looks for answers to the central—and so far elusive—question: who was Adam Lanza? Also this hour: In the aftermath of the tragedy, President Obama called for a national conversation about guns in America. Nowhere is that conversation more intense than in Newtown, where FRONTLINE finds a town divided and explores how those closest to the tragedy are now wrestling with our nation's gun culture and laws.

"Raising Adam Lanza" or "Raising Gun Control"? This preview appears to be more about the gun control movement rather than whom Adam Lanza really is.

Was peter lanza included on this? He would know so much more than any reporters and friends.

[quisqueyatv]

So he was born in 1992, but he joined the Boy scouts in 1994-95? he would be 2 or 3 years of age 0.0 ?? how does that make sense?!

Prove it

[Marvareeno]

The OJ Simpson trial was a hoax. He was never indicted. Whether people were killed is another matter. One of his lawyers the ACLU card carrying liberal anti-death penalty Alan Dershowitz is now a torture advocate and Israeli assassination guru.

The problem is that people in this country have been dumbed down.

I have the best video on "Why Adam Lanza is NOT Guilty as Charged" and it has gotten 241 views as of now. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance has gotten 509,932,315 views

Lanza had Asperger syndrome (AS) which is a disease of the cerebellum. It affects the balance, eye-hand coordination, and muscle tone. People with AS are clumsy and uncoordinated. It is impossible for him to have done what done what he has been accused of.

There's no conclusive evidence to say that "no one was killed." Broad statements like that are sometimes made by people who want to further confuse an already complex situation.

adam was just your average wealthy kid, he could get away with anything,  money took care of everything. he simply killed because he could. guns were not the problem, adams mother and father were the problem. they just spoiled him rotten, then bought him an arsenal. its sad the children always pay the price, for the sins of the wealthy. the problem is ignorant rich parents.

[CharlsyBoi]

Why is this a gun debate? Shouldn't we ask why with a mentally ill son she allowed guns in her home without lock & key? This is a case of being a RESPONSIBLE parent. Clearly she was not! Does this answer more questions than it asks? We'll have to wait & see. Just like the government will have to wait & see the ratings this documentary gets so it can decide how many eyes & ears this propaganda reaches. I hope there's facts & not just some bogus testimony we're suppose to believe just because.
