The Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is a database of death records created from the federal government Social Security Administration’s Death Master File Extract. SSDI data are available free-of-charge on genealogy websites, including GenealogyBank.com.
On January 20, 2013, I did a post on the curious discovery that, according to Social Security Death Index (SSDI), alleged Sandy Hook mass murderer Adam Lanza had died on December 13, 2012, that is, one day BEFORE the massacre of 20 children and 6 adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
That startling information was on the website GenealogyBank.com:
Adam P. Lanza: Social Security Death Index (SSDI) Death Record
Name: Adam P. Lanza
State of Issue: New Hampshire
Date of Birth: Wednesday April 22, 1992
Date of Death: Thursday December 13, 2012
Est. Age at Death: 20 years, 7 months, 21 days
Confirmation: Proven
I took a screenshot of that GenealogyBank.com page on Adam Lanza, as a prophylactic in case the site scrubs the page. As you can see (bottom right of the image below), I’d taken the screenshot at 2:29 pm, 1/20/2013:
As recent as two days ago, on January 31, 2013, I checked that genealogybank.com page and saw that the SSDI date-of-death for Adam Lanza was still listed as December 13, 2012.
I just checked the site again.
You’re not gonna believe this -
The date of death is now changed to December 14, 2012!!!!!!!!!
Here’s a screenshot I just took, where you can see that it was taken at 1:32 PM, 2/2/2013:
It is also noteworthy that of the 28 people (20 children, 8 adults) who allegedly were killed on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, SSDI didn’t make a mistake about their respective date of death — December 14, 2012.
Of the 28 people killed that day, only Adam Lanza’s date of death is December 13, 2012 — that is, until SSDI recently changed it to December 14, 2012.
In other words, according to the original SSDI entry, the man who we are told was the lone gunman who perpetrated the Sandy Hook massacre, had died the day before he killed his 27 victims!
Will wonders ever cease…. [Snark]
