Today, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III- the prosecutor in the case against Adam Lanza- stated that he will not release information about Adam Lanza's mental health. This comes on the heels of a recent statement made by a spokesperson for the office of the chief medical examiner in Connecticut, who said that Lanza's toxicology report will not be made public. While failure to disclose such information to the public does not prove a conspiracy, it certainly does little to dispel rumors that December's Sandy Hook massacre may not have happened quite the way it was reported. Combined with the fact that authorities have refused to release as much as one screen capture of Sandy Hook video surveillance footage, and lingering questions about why Adam Lanza's Social Security death record lists his date of death as December 13 (one day before the shooting), it's little wonder why conspiracy theorists are having a field day with the Newtown shooting.

You think that is unusual while an investigation is ongoing?
Why not just wait and see what happens when it's all over?

According to this blog the prosecutor said he won't release Lanzas mental health records.
It's too late to edit the the OP. I just figured this out myself, Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, things like "why". Maybe even if anyone else was involved.

Will have to wait and see what they come up with. If they ever release their conclusions to the public.
What type of organization and/or people would follow up this massacre with the killing of witnesses?
Mafia?
Al Qaeda?
Or, there exists the possibility that a conspirator, not necessarily a shooter, exists. Or, there is the possibility of an acquaintance has more information. In any of these situations that person could be at great risk from the public if the incomplete facts (or rumors of facts) were released. In any of these situations the release of critical information could impede investigation. A witness who knows something about a case, something that hasn't been released to the public, is a very credible witness.
There exists the possibility that more than one shooter was involved.

I'm pretty sure they will.
The public will demand it.
