For the first time after releasing a statement to apologize to families over the fatal actions of his son Adam, Peter Lanza said that the incident made him wish that his son should have never been born, the Boston Globe said.
"Any variation on what I did and how my relationship was had to be good, because no outcome could be worse. You can't get any more evil. ... How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he's my son? A lot," Lanza told The New Yorker in an interview about the 2012 Connecticut mass murder at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
In the interview, the Lanza patriarch revealed that his estranged wife refused to let him see Adam after their divorce in 2009. Peter cited an email wrote by Nancy, who told him that Adam didn't want to see his father after attempting to convince their son about his father's efforts to be with him. Lanza also told the magazine that he even hired a private investigator for him to chance upon his son at one of the latter's activities accidentally just to meet with him.
Lanza also said that Adam was displaying signs of troubling behavior way before an analyst diagnosed the teenager with profound autism spectrum disorder. Lanza said that although the disorder scientifically is not associated with violence, he believed that the disorder veiled schizophrenia.
Lanza's revelations followed an intriguing interview with so-called school safety expert who claimed that the Sandy Hook incident was not real, and that no children were killed on that day. The Examiner said that inconsistencies mentioned by Wolfgang Halbig in his 43-minute interview published on YouTube has sort of been corroborated by an apparent mass news blackout of the investigation surrounding the mass murder.
"Sandy Hook is part of a much larger pattern where our schools do not teach facts and our media do not report facts. Students and citizens are not being trained to think for themselves, nor are they being provided the information required for independent thought," the article at The Examiner read.
