Newtown property records suggest that on December 25, 2009 a total of 35 properties located on and around Yogananda Street in Sandy Hook were transferred at zero value to new owners.
The transactions include the house belonging to mysterious figure Chris Manfredonia, who was apprehended by police on Sandy Hook School grounds on the morning of December 14, 2012.
“It’s not just Yogananda Street that was given away on Christmas of ’09,” the researcher argues.
Yogananda addresses 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, and 23 all bear identical transactions to the ones exhibited here; 24 is owned by the town, while 18 is a normal transaction.
On Charter ridge, 45, 47, 63, 71, and 72 appear normal and 61, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, and 73 are all December 25, 2009 transactions. This makes a total of 35 homes given away on Christmas day of 2009. All of these properties surround the Lanza home.
