SANDY HOOK, CT — Len Pozner, the father of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, one of 20 children and six educators who were slain in the Sandy Hook School massacre spoke on Anderson Cooper's show "AC360" about a "hoaxer" and "truthers" who deny the tragedy happened and has been harassing families, according to CNN.
