What I think is odd is the kid just goes to the 7-11 to get some tea and skittles, doesn't come back and the father doesn't even go looking for him. I can't believe the father or his girlfriend didn't hear or see police sirens that night. I didn't think the kid was that far from the girlfriend's house.
It was reported that Trayvon had unexplained jewelry in his possession and what was considered B&E tools on a previous occasion. That might explain why Zimmerman reported him loitering around looking suspicious. He could have been casing out some houses since there had been break ins in the neighborhood.
Too many unanswered questions.
I would like to know what his parents do for a living but I'm sure we will find out all about them.
It also mentioned that when his father did call the police - at least a day later - he called to see if his son had been arrested, not to report him missing.
So quite possibly daddy knew or suspected more than he wants to talk about now.
So my guess is that someone did call daddy...(the girlfriend??)
Certainly daddy knew about the kid and the school stuff and a lot more....after all, the sweet little kid was on a 10 day suspension...
And it wouldn't surprise me if "girlfriend(s)" owned some interesting jewelry.
Looked like the incident was only a couple hundred feet from the girlfriend's house.
Daddy told conflicting stories at the beginning.
Walks to 7-11 in the cold and rain. Never returns and no alarm bells go off for the father. He goes to bed.
The jewelry and burglary tools plus an empty bad with marijuana residue I believe was found at school, thus he was suspended. Course the mom believed he was suspended for tardiness. So Trayvon lied to her or she’s not being truthful. She didn’t bother calling the school? As a parent, wouldn’t you want to speak w/an school admin. to get the scoop?
Why did the father let this kid run around when he should have been confined/punished for suspension? No, Dad was out on the town and wasn’t even concerned his son was missing. Says he ASSUMED his son was w/a cousin but said cousin didn’t answer his phone. Why didn’t Dad get in his car and go the cousin’s house?
o/t It’s been reported that both parents have quit their jobs. Must be nice to have that luxury. Did they have high paying jobs with big savings accounts to be able to up and quit?
