Adams Starcraft Encounter with a Stranger

Im sure alot of you have seen this around once or twice, its quite old. After the Newtown Shooting, an anonymous 4Chan user claimed that he had talked with and played starcraft with Adam Lanza, He recalled him talking about strange things with his Mom and a "military dude", He even says that Adam asked hm strange questions such as "If the government came into your life and asked you to join a program, what would you say?". Along with this post the User included a Photo of what appears to be Adam:

The SOON... was a joke edit made by the user supposedly a year before the massacre

I honestly believe this photo is Adam for multiple reasons, He looks exactly like Adam we can see with his thin stubby nose, thin face and chin,small mouth and his long hair, to go with that he appears to be wearing either a black T-Shirt or Polo shirt which appears to be baggy and exposes a fair amount of his lower neck and upper chest which we know Adam would wear oversized shirts and is seen in his college photos wearing baggy shirts drooping from his neck.

In the background of this supposed photo of Adam if you look just at the right angles of light you can partially make out his background despite the darkness, If you look to the left of him i believe that may possibly be the taped up bin bag window in his game room where he played online with people and in this case Starcraft as we know he had and played.

I don't see why this guy would lie as it isn't really anything major and from the way he responds on the 4chan posts he doesn't seem like a typical edgy 4chan user looking for some attention, Also i believe he was the first to put this photo of Adam on the web and reverse image searches did not bring up any pre massacre results including the original post which i suppose was deleted.

Im not sure what to think about the Government Program questions that Adam supposedly asked him, he may of said that to make it sound more creepy or conspiracy like or he may of genuinely been questioned by Adam, we'll never know.

In conclusion what do you think about this Photo and Its Origins?

Every time this picture and that thread comes up again the mystery always intrigues me. I think the possibility is strong that it is him.

If anyone knows more about it, or can prove it real or fake, I'd be very interested.

ive wondered about this photo and i agree its strange, i believe there is so much possible data that could still be out there hidden in the darkness of the internet, we know he would pm seemingly meaningless people about his hallucinations and personal ideas, i bet there are photos of him or messages that are still undiscovered as either the recipient did not recognize him or had no knowledge on the Shooter and even the fear to release it. Do you think thats a possibility? As i also mentioned in one of my topics he had a Mediafire Online storage which was erased due to content found on it by investigators and was left out of mainstream evidence, we are missing puzzle pieces and it is honestly like the Twilight Zone when it comes to Adam.

talking about proving this real or fake which i think is real, i think someone should try testing out the image with light alternating formats and high contrasting filters so we can see what is in his background more clear, we know what the interior of both his rooms look like so it could help us judge if this legitimate aside from his symmetrical looks.

There are certainly photos and messages from Adam that are unavailable at this time, some always will be, but I believe that over time it is almost inevitable that more will be uncovered, even if only a small amount.

And I agree about altering the lighting of the photo, although it is pretty dark. The OP of the 4chan thread said it was a screenshot from a year before. He would have been playing in the computer room and not the bedroom even at that time IIRC, so if the background can be cleared up even just a little it could be helpful.

I honestly don't think we'll see alot more information or photos unless people are hard at work travelling through URLs and Tracing data to roots, its been around 4 years since the event and nothing really new has come up, there are still the photos of Adam posing with his vest,ammo and guns aswell as him holding a pistol and rifle to his head, i don't think we'll ever see these unless there is a declassifying date for the sealed documents (which im sure there isn't?) or someone makes a public inquiry or attempt into retrieving the Data off of Conneticut State which i believe would be useless as the documents are sealed and classified.

I don't think it's him but the person does look vaguely like him. I messed with the contrast on the image to try and make the background clearer but as you can see...

It's probably too low quality to edit properly because it's just a screenshot from a webcam. However, you can make out the corners of the room.

Based off these pictures of the computer room, if it is him, the blurs on the left side of the lightened photo could be the open closet and the door.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] If you can find a closer or close up photo of his headphones lying on the desk they might match up with the pair that John Doe is wearing.

In the Yogananda street crime scene video, when the camera pans around the computer room the head set can be seen, however the picture has the pair in much better quality. The fact that a similar looking head set can be seen on the desk at all can only make the claim more convincing.

Look at the bottom image here, that's the closest I can find of the headset.

If you look closely in the background on the left you can see some sort of rectangle shaped black mass which could possibly be one of his taped black bag windows, and then if you look behind him on the next wall we can see some sort of mass again of a dark nature which could be the second window in the game room and if you were to think he took the photo from a laptop or camera whilst facing his closet so we see the room like this in light:

if we were facing from the closet direction we would see these two windows which can be seen behind the desk in the same position from the Adam webcam photo, the black mass in the bottom left hand corner could be his desks and monitors which are clearly seen to be in that area.

or maybe it was taken from the desk and that rectangular mass on the left is his door as we can see from one of the computer room photos his headset is on his desk in which if he played there his left hand side background would be the door

It does not look like adam

The eyes are. All wrong

Do you mean the wide crazy eyes? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] If so you got to remember that the media edits these photos of killers to make them more menacing with evil looking eyes, its already been said they did it to Adam, he did already have wide eyes but i don't believe circular like we see in his ID photos, its a known fact that they edited Martin Bryants photos after he killed 35 people to make him look evil.

With all due respect to you good sir, it just does not look like adam at all to me..not just the eys, but the whole facial feature deal just does not look right to me. His face does not look skinny enough for a malnourished 6 foot tall 112 lb person..if you believe I'm wrong, please by all means point it out to me, I'm not here to say I know anymore. Than you, I'm just looking at the starcraft picture and another photo of him and it just does not look identical at all

Im still going to keep researching, and digging
Will it help us find more answers? Probably not, but I just have to try..there are more clues that law enforcement and the state of Connecticut are HIDING

His mouth, slender face and nose all match up in my opinion, aswell as his hairstyle, he also had a pair of headphones which look extremely similar, his neck looks slender enough and adam always wore oversized shirts, we can see the shirt drooping down below his neck heavily implying  he is wearing a large shirt, Also i have reversed searched this image and i can't find anywhere except for websites talking about the 4chan post the pic was uploaded on, it seems unique and if it isn't Adam it must be an extreme lookalike, If they guy who said he met him on starcraft lied he would of had to go to great lengths to find this photo(which don't exist anywhere else, even when the 4chan post was first posted)
the guy wasn't being major about it and seemed to be honest, we also know that Adam had and played Starcraft so it wouldn't suprise me if it was him, i remember the guy said that Adam sent it to him whilst they were playing together on starcraft around 2009-2011 i know it may slightlly differ from other photos of Adam but i guess that might be a mix of low quality and him being settled instead of places like the college where he would be more on edge and anxious.

But if you think it isn't him thats fine, its all down to personal views and analysis here

After reviewing two certain photographs. Here is my conclusion..now if those headphones laying on ADAMS desk are indeed GAMING headphones..then it will prove without a doubt that the photograph in statecraft is indeed 100% adam lanza

I also found a picture of a b-day card his dad sent him when adam refused to see him anymore...does any other members know about the birthday card photo?..and found a pic of him when he was between 4-7 yrs old that shows him wide eyed..not sure if it may be relevant, but I thought I would tell you

I used to be mainly focused on columbine when first researching these events but overtime columbine has honestly been researched to the point that we know nearly every detail aside from the basement tapes, i have been focusing on Newtown for a while as it has so many clues and mysteries to pair with the most strange abstract cryptic shooter out there, i honestly wish we had more dedicated researchers on the SHES case, we have Sandy Hook Facts (CW Wade) but he mainly debunks the hoax over everything, the main source of Sandy Hook info really comes from the SH lighthouse blog but still people are not digging deeper they are sticking with the public easily available info and seemed to have given up there, i do believe there is undiscovered data somewhere on the internet about Adam or the shootings, maybe even some of Adams lost or undiscovered accounts or other information.

I think the best place to look would either be threw archived pages on the wayback machine or maybe even darknet, TOR has been out since 2002 and Adam had fair knowledge about computers, he had paranoia and would constantly format his hard drive to erase data from the disk, so if Adam was paranoid he must of thought of using TOR to conceal his online activity.

what do you think?

The earcups look extremely similiar if you compare the 2 photos of "Adam" and the headset on his desk, they are both black and the earcups seem very large

Needs to be a microphone on the headset in order
for it to match the one the picture

Not skinny enough

It's Ryan Lanza guys.

i do say very similiar except for the long face for which i would think it is Adam

Definitely could be Adam, strange to see him looking "normal". However the headset in the pic does have a microphone, whereas the crime scene photo's headphones does not.

I know right? Ever since I started researching him, that one creepy picture of him has been mental image of him. Seeing him look like a normal person seems strange, especially considering what we know about him. People say that alot about mass shooters, but it only really applies to Adam for me.

Absolutely! This picture and his call to the radio program forced me to confront the idea that maybe he was much deeper, more complex, and possibly much more normal than I had previously thought. It's much easier to believe that the people who carry out these acts are in some way obviously unhinged, or noticeably different/creepy, than it is to consider that they were closer to "normal" than I am comfortable with.

Well, some of the time...then again there are people like Randy Stair. I'm pretty comfortable saying he wasn't normal.

Bone structure isn't even the same, eyebrows grow differently and neither are manicured, it's not the same person.

Yeah. If it's a Lanza brother it's got to be Adam. The gauntness and the nose are what have me leaning towards it being Adam. His chin and eyebrows are also quite similar to Adam's.

Although I could be seeing those connections because I want it to be him, so idk.
