UPDATE: Tallahassee, FL - March 20, 2012
Federal and local prosecutors are launching parallel investigations into the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen by a neighborhood watch captain as outrage over the case grows.
(snip)
According to the source close to the investigation, authorities have a subpoena for Martin’s phone records and are waiting to electronically unlock the phone. Neither the teenage girl nor her parents came forward to offer details to police in the three weeks since the shooting, despite a public plea for information, the source said.
Several investigators don’t believe Zimmerman turned back to his car but instead tried to confront or even detain Martin until police arrived, the source said, but police don’t have any evidence to prove that. Police conducted a voice stress test two days after the shooting on Zimmerman, which he passed, the source said. Another one is expected to be conducted on him soon, the source said.
Zimmerman is staying at a secure location and has been in daily contact with authorities, the source said.
Crump said he plans to turn over information about the call to federal investigators who are looking into the case.
If that is accurate, then the police did have Trayvon’s phone but were unable to unlock it to see what was on the phone. They put in a subpoena for the phone records. If that part of the article (confusing with all those updates) was from the March 20 update, then they were still waiting for the phone records 18 days after the 911 call was made from Trayvon’s phone on March 2. Somebody had suggested that the police had called 911 so they could then track what the phone number for the cellphone was. Which is probably what happened, since they’d need the phone number to be able to subpoena the records.
