In a YouTube video, entitled Sandy Hook--Debunking "The Evacuation Never Happened," the researcher locates a moving line of children being escorted from the northeast corner of SHES as seen from the dash-cam of TFC McGeever at 10:24:28 a.m.

Upon this discovery, Sandy Hook researcher CW Wade enhanced the footage and was able to locate even more children being evacuated from the northeast corner of SHES. The first time children can be seen from McGeever's dash-cam is at 10:17:14 a.m. Another group can be seen at 10:17:42 a.m. Then another group is escorted from SHES at 10:33:17 a.m.

Aside from that, photographs of the evacuation taken by private parties have also made their way onto the Internet. At least two of these photographs show several dozen--if not hundreds--of children walking in a line down Dickenson Drive towards the Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire Department.

In a YouTube video, entitled Sandy Hook--Enhanced Video, CW Wade documents all photographic evidence of the evacuation from both official and private sources.

Thorn ends this third segment by sharing an email correspondence from Papaherakles that is essentially a reiteration of what has just been discussed in reference to the helicopter news footage and evacuation. From this we learn that Papaherakles has relied exclusively on a faulty interpretation of police audio recordings provided in a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist's YouTube video. Worse yet, this interpretation of publicly released police audio was made in January 2013, months before the release of the NPD radio transcript found in the CSP Final Report. Had Papaherakles fact checked that transcript against the commentary in the YouTube video, he would have discovered why the timeline of events seemed implausible.

What follows are the actual words spoken in the audio portion of the video referenced by Papaherakles in his email, followed by what Papaherakles' interpretation of those words are, followed by what those words actually mean.

1st AUDIO: At 9:35:51 (according to the private scanner's clock*), a male voice is heard saying: "67"Sandy HookSchool caller is indicating she thinks there is someone shooting in building."

PAPAHERAKLES' INTERPRETAION: "The first officers' report about the shootings was received at 9:35:51 AM when the first police cars arrived there."

FACT: Officers were not yet there. The voice on the radio is that of NPD Dispatcher Nute, who is advising unit 67 (Officer McGowan) that the caller he has on the phone thinks there is someone shooting at SHES. McGowan and other officers were inside the NPD when they were alerted about the call 10 seconds earlier.

2nd AUDIO: At 9:36:34 (according to the private scanner's clock*), a male voice is heard saying: "Units responding, units responding to Sandy Hook school, the front glass has been broken out of the school. They are unsure why."

PAPAHERAKLES' INTERPRETAION: "At 9:36:34 AM the first officer reported that he discovered broken glass at front entrance of school."

FACT: Again, officers were not yet there and the voice on the radio is still that of NPD Dispatcher Nute, who is advising responding officers that the caller he has on the phone indicates that she saw broken glass.

From this faulty interpretation, Papaherakles concludes: "You have to wonder about the timeline of this whole 'live event.' The call to the police was made on 9:35:53. By 9:36:34, only 41 seconds later, the police were at the front door of the school. That's pretty quick!"

As I have previously determined in this report, it took approximately 4 minutes for the very first responding officers to arrive at SHES. Papaherakles could have spared himself all this confusion had he simply cross referenced the audio against the more recent CSP Final Report. Instead, he based all his conclusions on the assumptions and speculations of an anonymous Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist who was making these ill-informed observations in the immediate aftermath of the shooting and without any supporting information to lend context as to who was talking and from where.
