Sandy Hook killer’s mum ‘blocked interventions that could have stopped massacre’
PSYCHOLOGISTS say Adam Lanza's mother Nancy had Munchausen by Proxy and prevented him from receiving treatment
A NEW documentary claims the Sandy Hook killer’s mum could have prevented the massacre.
Adam Lanza, 20, killed mum Nancy before gunning down 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary, Connecticut, in 2012.
He had Asperger’s but psychologists now believe Nancy, 52, had Munchausen by Proxy and “relished” the attention he got for “being different”.
