Sandy Hook Newspaper 'Newtown Bee' deleted over 90% of its 25year website-content in 2013
The Newtown Bee, a family-owned broadsheet newspaper, traces its history to 1877. The paper was among the first in the state in the mid-1990s to create a news Web site.
By this they have a 25 year web history.

Although their photographers (Shannon Hicks, John Voket) made photos at the legendary shooting(?) on 2012-12-14, their photos were immidiatly deleted from the website.
A comparison of website-scans with Xenu Link Sleuth show that they reorganized their site after 2013-03 an deleted over 90% of their content, grown in over 25 years!
Very strange!

newtownbee.com [link to newtownbee.com]

A scan with Xenu's link sleuth shows
2013-03-31: 340,000+ urls (many jpgs)
2014-01-11: 29,500 urls

I searched for url's around 2012-12-14: They are all gone, also in wayback-machine!
The only file from around 2012-12-14 I could unearth was:

NewtonBee Special edition from 2012-12-17 of Sandy Hook Shooting
A newspaper-size 10 page pdf with 47 photos (especially the nice waterbottle-piles in the firehouse)
download from wayback-machine [link to web.archive.org]

Strange, indeed, The Bee has prided itself on being the voice of Newtown for so many years. It always had an eye toward "the historical" in the area. Now it's essentially deleting its history. This is bizarre beyond description. What is going on in that place?

Most small town newspapers keep records of what happens with the locals - announcements, obits, comings and goings, marriages - all that stuff. They probably are trying to cover up that many of those in the SH hoax are newcomers who were planted to be in place for this "tragedy".

Important if this is the case. Remember that right after 12/14/12 they had a big website redesign? At first I couldn't find anything, but now there are lot of back-articles again.

I noticed one strange thing: many months ago when searching for "Adam Lanza" in the Bee, nothing came up except one ancient reference to AA (or AAA?) baseball.

Now, there are multiple editions of the paper including Ryan and Adam in honor roll lists and the like.
