There was both relief and shock when a judge ruled that Connecticut police weren't obliged to release disturbing documents belonging to psycho killer Adam Lanza — who fatally shot 20 children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. The decision hid away many of the 20-year-old sicko's darkest secrets, including his admiration for other mass murders, plus a bizarre notebook where he wrote a depraved version of a children's bedtime story!

Judge Carl Schuman ruled that police could keep the troubling materials hidden away, since none of them were used in criminal prosecutions. Lanza killed himself at the end of his bloody rampage at the school (pictured here in the aftermath) — but
The National ENQUIRER can still provide troubling looks into the private papers and quickly-deleted online presence of the depraved mass murderer!

"Lanza was a very bright but troubled young man who'd turned to the dark side," a Department of Justice insider told The ENQUIRER shortly after the shootings in Newtown, Conn. "Investigators believe he kept a diary on his computer of all the bad things that had happened to him and built up such hate in him, and why he had so much pent-up rage against his mother."

"His diary entries would have reeked with his need for revenge against school kids," added the source."We believe he had also anonymously visited suicide chat rooms on the Internet, as well as other chatrooms and websites appealing to devil worshippers."

A former classmate confirmed Lanza's devil worship, describing the deranged killer's page on an Internet website. "It had the word 'Devil' on it in red Gothic-style letters against a black background," Trevor L. Todd told The ENQUIRER. "It gave me the chills. It was just so weird."

In his sick fantasy world,Lanza also believed he was the reincarnation of a vengeful Japanese samurai warrior like the ones in "Dynasty Warriors" — which The ENQUIRER learned was his favorite video game.
"Lanza wanted those poor innocent children to suffer simply because they attended the same school that he did," said a law enforcement source. "He must have heard voices telling him that they needed to die, or else they'd grow up to be just like the kids he couldn't get along with at school. He wanted the innocent children to die just for attending the same school that he did!"

The court ruling that hides away Adam writings might also spare Taylor Swift from the horror of being identified with the monster. "Adam was crazy about Taylor," a law-enforcement source told The ENQUIRER. "He'd watch her YouTube music videos over and over again, and he read everything he could find about her online!"

"Adam talked about Taylor in chatrooms," added the insider, "mentioning how beautiful he thought she was — especially her golden hair, and he loved the fact that Taylor had titled her latest album 'Red' after his favorite color!"

The ENQUIRER also revealed these chilling photos of the 20-year-old madman's lair — giving insight into the demented fiend's bizarre world before his bloody rampage! That included this troubling image of the maniac's bedroom windows covered in plastic garbage bags!

This shocking look into Lanza's bizarre everyday life only increased the public outrage towards his divorced mother and father — Peter Lanza and his late ex-wife Nancy. "More and more people are pointing their fingers at Adam's parents," a source told The ENQUIRER. "Not only did they ignore warning signs, they also enabled him to pursue his heinous hobbies!"

The photos reveal how Nancy Lanza allowed her disturbed son to turn his computer room into an arsenal — with a safe and a file cabinet loaded with ammo, gun supplies and loaded shotgun magazines. Shocked police later had to extensively number all of the weapons and ammo found at both his home and at the crime scene!

The ENQUIRER spoke to contractor Robert J. Riebe — who met young Adam when he sold the Newtown home (pictured) to Peter and Nancy Lanza in 1998. ""It gives me chills when i think that I shook his hand," said Robert. "He was just a little kid back then. Nothing out of the ordinary or remarkable." One thing that stuck out in Robert's mind was an odd remark that Nancy Lanza made: "She told me straight up that she owned a handgun!"

The ENQUIRER learned that Lanza often holed up in the basement of his home for hours. He would play violent video games — including these, from his own collection — while surrounded by military posters. The bunker-like room became Ground Zero for his twisted fantasies that culminated in the murder of the innocent children. But the massacre began in the Lanza home, when police say Adam pumped four bullets into his mother's head while she slept upstairs.

Police quickly arrived to the Sandy Hook Elementary School after Lanza began his sick massacre — and would find him dead from a self- inflicted gunshot wound. He was carrying his older brother Ryan's identification. "It was Adam's final act of revenge," said a DOJ source. "Jealous of his older brother's success, he wanted news to go out to the world that Ryan was the killer — not him!"

"This tragedy could have been averted if Adam's mom put him in a mental facility," said the DOJ source."But the truth is, she couldn't. After divorcing his father — and with her older son going off to make his own life — she couldn't bear being alone. So she never had Adam committed!"
