On a cold December morning the serene town of Newtown, Connecticut, was torn apart by an act of unspeakable horror. The name Adam Lanza would soon become synonymous with tragedy. Plagued by severe mental health struggles and gripped by a dark obsession, Lanza's descent into madness culminated in a massacre that forever changed countless lives.

The echoes of gunfire that day shattered families, a community, and a nation. In this episode, we delve into the haunting history of Adam Lanza, recount the devastating events of that fateful day, and explore the profound impact on a town left grappling with unimaginable loss. Join us as we navigate this heart-wrenching story, seeking to understand the depths of this tragedy and the scars it left behind. Things are about to get strange.
