Dr. Leland Benton is Chief Forensics Investigator for ForensicsNation.com and is a bestselling author of almost a dozen books on cyber crime. Using his investigative skills he examines the allegations that the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a hoax. On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut. Recent allegations and a plethora of YouTube videos have arisen that the events at Sandy Hook are all a hoax. On the surface, this is quite disturbing to me for two reasons. If the allegations are true then we as a nation are confronting another serious problem; and if they are false, then this is a very cruel burden to place on the grieving families. As a trained investigator, I will look dispassionately at both sides and allow my readers to decide for themselves. I was taught that the best lie is always sandwiched between two truths. On the surface, what is to be gained if the allegations prove to be true? And conversely, what is to be gained if the allegations prove to be false? Where is the winner in all of this? These questions and many more are presently coursing through my brain and as I begin any investigation, the questions come at me rapidly and demand answers. Truth can be elusive, but sooner than later the truth always prevails.
