Sandy Hook Shooting:Suspect Car Linked to Christopher A Rodia and Drug Family of Norwalk

Suspect’s car registered to a Chris Rodia who’s family deals drugs in Norwalk and who is currently facing 7 felony charges including two narcotics charges himself. And Lt. Vance doesn’t mention anything about it?

Is this the missing motive of the Sandy Hook shooting?

Over at Above Top Secret, their “Who is Christopher A. Rodia” thread is hopping. It all seems to stem from a video of the “unedited” version of the Newtown Police and Fire Radio Traffic from the day of the shooting. The video was posted on Dec. 14th 2012 by Radioman911TV. He has posted 3 videos total, all in the past month.

Christopher Rodia

At the 30:11 mark of the video in question, you can hear someone reading the license plate of the suspect’s vehicle: “872 YEO possible suspect vehicle“. 20 seconds later the answer comes back “operator Rodia, R..O..D..I..A , Christopher A. (scrambled) 26th, 69“
The audio is heavily scrambled during that part of the recording but you can make out Christopher Rodia’s name and what appears to be part of his birth date.
This is very interesting because if that audio file is indeed unedited, then that is the black car they claimed was the suspect’s vehicle and the same car they showed a video of someone pulling a long gun out of the trunk later that evening.


So who is Christopher A. Rodia? Well, the good folks over at ATS found some interesting info on the guy. Turns out he’s a low-life career criminal with at a drug possession charge back in January and a forgery charge pending from Dec. 2011 who was recently busted stealing copper out of new home construction sites while carrying some narcotics on his person. He was busted with a 19 year old girl. Lovely guy huh?

The man, Christopher Rodia, 42, was charged with 3rd degree larceny, conspiracy to commit larceny, criminal mischief, possession of narcotics and failure to carry prescription drugs in a prescribed container.
The woman, Cassandre Scire, 19, was charged with 3rd degree larceny, conspiracy to commit larceny and criminal trespass.
Each is being held on a $2,500 bond and their court date is set for August 7th, 2012.” News 8

But check this out… he was facing 7 felony charges including two narcotics charges, and he was apparently released from custody just a few months ago on his own “promise to appear” (?) Really?

It gets worse though. Chris Rodia has a construction contractor (carpentry and roofing) brother Dennis who just recently died and his mother’s name is Lilli Rodia.

“Survivors in addition to his mother (Lilli) include a long-time friend ,Donnella Bryan; a step-mother, Diane Rodia of Norwalk; two sisters and their husbands, Michele & Todd Turner of Norwalk and Mary & Matthew Pisani of North Haven; a brother Chris Rodia of Norwalk;” The Hour

Notice that his brother was a roofer and the crime Chris Rodia was charged with was stealing copper roofing off of a construction site. Coincidence? No.

“A Norwalk man and woman were caught in the act Saturday night of stealing copper gutters from a house under construction on Stony Brook Road, police said.” Westport News

Dennis Rodia

His brother and his mother have a long history of narcotics trafficking in the area. In fact, his brother was arrested with heroin and cash back in Feb and then Dennis and dear old mommy were arrested in March for trafficking drugs not a month later.

“According to police, when the officer approached the car he noticed a six-pack of unopened beer, and large sums of money scattered on the back seat. Upon further inspection, police say, there was also a roll of money on the center console of the car and Rodia was leaning over, seemingly, in an attempt to hide something. The amount of cash discovered in the vehicle was not given.
Police say, the car was searched and both men were arrested after finding two silver cans containing a total of 40 bags of heroine, 21 Oxycodone pills, 40 pills derivative of Oxycodone in a prescription bottle in neither persons name, and drug paraphernalia.” Norwalk Patch Feb. 17th

“Dennis Rodia, 44, and his mother Lilli Rodia, 67, of 1 Gregory Blvd., Norwalk, were charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, illegal possession of narcotics within 1,500 feet of a school and possession of narcotics with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school.
The two are being held in lieu of $100,000 bond. If they are not released will be arraigned at state Superior Court in Norwalk Thursday.” The Stamford Advocate

Here’s the court docket for his mother:

There are so many questions here it’s hard to put them all together:

1. How did a career criminal facing 7 felonies get to walk out of court with a “promise to appear”?
2. How did Dennis get back on the streets of Norwalk in less than a month after being busted with 41 bags of smack and all kinds of Oxycontin?
3. How is this guy’s car found at the scene supposedly with a shotgun or rifle in it and it isn’t even mentioned by the local cops or the media at large?
4. Was Chris Rodia the guy found hiding in the woods because he was fucked up and stayed too long and the police cars were all around his escape vehicle?

There are a lot of questions to be answered here but as we have seen before, Lt. Vance doesn’t appear to be the one to ask: in the video below, Lt. Vance is asked a question about whether or not Adam Lanza’s mother actually worked at the school and he inexplicably starts to answer a question about the guy they may or may not have arrested in the woods behind the school. Does it sound like Lt. Vance is running on a tight script?
