Firstly, a reply to: Asktheanimals, who asked:
Q:
Did you look at the avg speeds? ——>snip
A:
To give the complete, technical answer, would take quite a few pages.
To sum it up as succinctly as possible:
Whenever the GPS switches over to using a different satellite, its position gives a jump in coordinative value, which the distance/time integration function will interpret as being a massive acceleration (2nd derivative of position = d²x/dt²), or even a massive jerk (‘surge’ = the 3rd derivative of position = d³x/dt³).
This error will manifest itself as the route displaying the aforementioned breakneck speeds.
Moving on, let's have some fun, shall we? And we'll see who all has been paying attention.
Earlier I posted the rudimentary waypoint data which the FBI had extracted from the Garmin Nuvi Model 200 GPS which was seized from the residence of 36 Yogananda St. upon the execution of a search warrant, and given to the Eastern District Major Crime Squad for analysis.
Here's where it pays to have an eidetic memory:
Now, let's see what the FBI gave to the Western District Major Crime Squad.
Why, it's the extracted data from a Garmin Nuvi Model 550 GPS which was found in the 2010 black Honda located in the parking lot of the Sandy Hook Elementary School on 14 Dec 2012.
~Pay close attention, because based on what I just said, we now have—under one single piece of evidence (filed as “exhibit #58” †)—two different models of Garmin Nuvi GPS systems, found in two different places …

† Just to preempt somebody from proposing an otherwise possible solution, this means that no, the driver wasn't cruising around rural Connecticut with two GPS systems hooked up in his car.

First of all, why would anyone wait that late to check the guns in the car? They had all afternoon.
Well to be fair, they were still having snacks and soda in the parking lot during the afternoon…

Frankly, this is the hardest puzzle ever!
3mperorConstantinE given your deep understanding of the official documents, is this puzzle as hard to solve as it seems or do you see some clear patterns that will make sense down the road?

another thing that's curious about this, is that it says a number of the routes taken were for the theater...if he played DDR there as often as everyone says, it would stand to reason that he wouldn't need to punch this "local" theater into his GPS every friggin time he went there.....unless, of course he thought the voice on his GPS was like, the sexiset s**t ever... -shrug-
also, it says there are a number of routes starting and ending with 36 yogananda...and they go all over town? am i the only one having a problem with this?....it doesn't make sense to me...if your starting and ending point are the same, usually the GPS will say "you have reached your destination", as soon as you hit the start button....or, if it's one of the cheaper models, it will either laugh at you, or explode...

I could be mistaken, but I don't think he was punching in those destinations. I believe the data was recorded in his GPS whenever he drove around, probably just starting whenever he started his car and ending when he turned it off.
I would guess those frequent late-night trips were to the Lowes AMC 16 where he reportedly enjoyed playing Dance Dance Revolution. Given his reported introversion and avoidance of the company of people, this would probably be the best time to go. Between, say, midnight and 1:00 am the last showings of the night are still playing, and there would probably be very few other people hanging around to make fun of you
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but …

Now this is where I'm not sure I'm reading this right, because if I am then it's pretty darn interesting. They found and analyzed a SECOND GPS that they found IN HIS CAR AT SANDY HOOK.
Well, I mean, I guess he could have TWO GPS devices - one for when he goes to places around town, and the other for when he goes to places like the 21 Club in Manhattan, and Laguardia Airport, and the American Military Museum in California.

i don't know that the GPS just records everywhere you go...i don't think it would do that...

i don't know that the GPS just records everywhere you go...i don't think it would do that...it does save a history of previously used locations.....like say you asked it to give you directions to the mall, and then to the starbucks, and then to a gas station..it would keep a record of those locations, but again, i doubt it just records everywhere you go, when not providing navigational direction...

2) Unknown man from NY detained by police on scene, first reported as off-duty tactical officer then later changed in final report to curiosity seeker.
A man from New York who was working in a nearby town and went to SHES after an application on his cell telephone alerted him to the situation at the school. He drove to the firehouse and went up to the school on foot. He was taken from the scene of the school in handcuffs and later to Newtown Police Department. It was later
determined that he did not have a connection to the shooting and had gone to SHES to see what was going on.
