>>Interestingly, though shot a mere block from his home, he was apparently unidentified for three days in the morgue, as his parents did not report him missing.

OK, that’s a new one on me, and I thought I’d been following this pretty closely for the last 4-5 days.

WHAT. THE. HECK!?

Any media, or better yet, official sources for that?

It was in the statement from NBPP, but was subsequently debunked by another poster after I cited it.

It is not true. His father went to bed not worried that his son was going to come home like he always did (the father had not been home at the time of the shooting.) First thing in the morning, he was very worried when his son was not there, and he called the police to report him missing. He was identified at that time. In this story, the day after the shooting, he is interviewed by local media. (Although they identify Tracy Martin as the mother, Tracy Martin is the father's name.)

Parents said they knew after they filed the missing persons report and the crime investigator along with chaplain arrived with photos of dead son within 12/13 hours
