>“I had [his girlfriend] call juvenile justice, just to check and see if anyone by the name of Trayvon Martin had been picked up. No Trayvon Martin,” the father told NNPA publishers. “My next call was to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department to see if any kid had been picked up.

“My third call was to a non-emergency number at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department and I informed them that I was filing a missing person’s report.

Interesting. The third possibility - in his father’s mind - was that Trayvon was missing. After he decided he hadn’t been arrested.

Why on earth would the elder Martin assume he had a run in with the law by calling juvenile justice, County Sheriff? To me this is very telling.
As a concerned parent I would be calling the hospitals.
