The father wasn’t physically present.
He was in another location with his girl friend.
That's true but he said; “I had been out to dinner. When we got back between 10:15 and 10:45, he wasn’t at home."
The police were there from 7:30 PM until 3:00 AM the next morning processing the scene and taking statements. The whole complex was aware of the situation. Supposedly Tracy Martin's gf's apartment was very close by. They didn't notice all of the cops, cop cars w/lights etc, and no one said anything to them about a young black male being killed there?
