As America continues to pick up the pieces and empathize with the families of lost love ones, a group of conspiracy theorists known as the truthers continue to question the truth about what transpired during the Dec. 14 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newton, Ct.

A brunt of the radicals' controversy has called into question the validity of Emilie Parker's death. In the truthers' Sandy Hook Shooting - Fully Exposed YouTube video, the 6-year-old Emilie appears to be sitting on President Barack Obama's lap after the time of the horrific incident. However, according to the Battle Creek Enquirer, the girl in the photo is actually the late Emilie's little sister, Madeline.

While the controversy surrounding the group's disturbing comments on Parker have been dully noted throughout the Internet, there are many other supposed falsities that the truthers have called into question.

Fortunately for the nation, it seems as though the truthers have eased up on posting its thoughts and material.

While most people are certainly obliged to see the radical statements of the truthers begin to fade into oblivion, Deen Freelon, an assistant professor at American University in Washington, stated that their current hiatus doesn't necessarily mean that the conspiracy theorists have halted their efforts.

"These search and media peaks and valleys are probably driven by news coverage," he explained. "We found similar patterns in our work on Twitter use during the Arab Spring - many of the tweets were from people interested in the topic as opposed to protest participants, and I'd be surprised if something similar wasn't going on here."  

Interesting enough, conspiracy theorists are not widely considered scientific, but extremely religious in nature, according to Policy Mic.

The unorthodox group is known to be "driven by misinformation, cynicism and utopianism - conspiracists seek out common threads between national tragedies as disparate as the Kennedy assassination to 9/11 to Sandy Hook in order to create a delusional but satisfying narrative about American history."
