THE DEVIL'S DEED (PART III OF III)

As the morning announcements were being read at Sandy Hook Elementary School around 9:35 am, Adam Lanza parked his mother’s car in the fire lane in front of the school, took out his Glock 20SF 10mm handgun, Sig Sauer 226 9mm handgun, his .223 Bushmaster XM 115-E2S AR-15 rifle, and many magazines of ammunition, each with thirty rounds in them. He was wearing a black T-shirt, black polo shirt, black pants, black socks, black shoes, black hat, and an olive-green cargo vest which held his extra ammunition. It was not known at this point, but before leaving for Sandy Hook Elementary School, Adam had killed his mother in her bed with a .22 rifle.

Just before 9:35 am, morning announcements were being read to the students of the school over the intercom. Principal Dawn Hochsprung was in a meeting with school psychologist Mary Sherlac and lead teacher Natalie Hammond in a conference room by the front offices.  School custodian, Rick Thorne was making his morning rounds up and down the halls of Sandy Hook Elementary School.

THE DEVIL'S DEED (PART I OF III)

What is everyone’s biggest fear? We all have them and they vary from person to person. For some it is a fear of the dark, others, a fear of public speaking. There are whole sections of the DSM-5 dedicated to disorders of fear. From anxiety disorders to phobias, there are a plethora to choose from. But for every parent there is a fear that outweighs all others, the fear of losing a child.

EASTER...(ISLAND) MYSTERY

The beautiful cool waters of the Pacific Ocean are a welcoming sight to anyone thinking of a relaxing vacation. There are many magical places within the Pacific Ocean that are a destination for many as a dream vacation. I myself have had the privilege of going to Hawaii multiple times and enjoying in the beautiful and laid back atmosphere. Hawaii is only one of many destinations for those hoping to have the perfect relaxing vacation such as Tahiti, Fiji, Palau, and Samoa to name a few.

BLOODLUST

I am so thankful that we live in a time of forensic technology to help bring justice to those who commit heinous crimes, and exonerate those who are innocent. Not so long ago, this wasn’t the case, and even as recent as World War II and a few decades beyond, someone could be incarcerated for someone accusing someone else of a crime. 

Whether it be an accusation reported to the Nazi Gestapo or accusing your neighbors of being communists, these were some hard times for the innocent. This type of accusation resulting in someone being incarcerated or even killed goes back throughout history, and with no way of any other definitive evidence able to be gained, there were likely many innocent people persecuted, and even killed.

Now, don’t get me wrong, throughout history there have been some truly evil people who walked among us. These people created some of the most heinous scenarios and have found a place of infamy in history. This has been proven time and again with the likes of Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, and most recently, ISIS. 

But, what if there were some that gained infamy for being evil actually had never done any of the things they are feared for? What if there were conspiracies that impacted these people in such negative ways for history to remember for all time? That may in fact be the case with my newest story for History’s Mysteries.
