from the tuesday to the thursday before the shooting. Adam was alone of a few days before Friday AM when he killed her. (on Anderson Cooper CNN)

1. That's interesting. Have to wonder if that was a factor.

2. For goodness sakes she probably needed a break. He is after all an ADULT. She shouldn't

have to babysit him. I think she used very poor judgement teaching him to shoot rifles and not storing them properly. She had no one to help her with her pyscho son. Where was the father and his older brother. I don't blame her to leave to get a couple of days break if he was that crazy.

3. Oh I'm sure she needed a break. It seems that she alone took care of him. Must

have been a hard life for her.

5. What a living hell she must of been going through. Honestly I don't know what she could have done

because she didn't really try to get help from her family and friends. I am sure she was at her ropes end. Am sure her family knew what was going on yet didn't step up.

4. "During this time he refused to speak to Nancy..."

"Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza was left home alone with an arsenal of weapons in the $1.4million mansion he lived in with his mother for three days while she went on vacation, it emerged today.

During this time he refused to speak to Nancy and sources believe he may have become so consumed with anger, that it drove him to plan one of America's worst school shootings.

Before the deranged 20-year-old shot dead 20 innocent children and six brave adults who tried to stop him at Sandy Hook Elementary School last Friday, he shot his mom in the face four times while she lay sleeping in her bed.

The pair had not spoken for the whole three days she was gone. Consequently, Nancy would pay with her life."

Mini-break: Nancy Lanza checked into the Omni Mount Washington Resort at 12:10pm on Tuesday, December 11, and checked out at 12:27pm on Thursday

I wonder if she had surveillance cameras in/around the house. Since she was "security" minded and worried about the future, she may have added them. If so, it may help identify what the son was doing during that time that she was gone.

Another article reported...
"Nancy Lanza often took mini-vacations by herself, friends said. She trusted leaving Adam alone, but didn't want him cooking, so she always prepared all his meals before her trips."

So, what was different this time? Why did he refuse to speak with her? The brother Ryan hadn't had contact with Adam since 2010, and Adam cut off contact with his father, so Nancy was in this by herself.

I feel pretty certain I wouldn't have been able to care for him at home. I feel bad for her. She was in over her head and the consequences are horrific.
