Interested to see what the Police have to say. I can’t recall a serious traffic accident, crime scene or major incident being blocked off to the public for such a long period of time.
Exactly, seems very peculiar…
gotta watch who my kids keep company with. whose bike they ride on, who they kicking ball with, where they hanging out on weekends, most of all, who are the parents of their friends…..in you love your kids, then network, network, network people!
police are lying
Why would they lie?? They held the scene until a forensic pathologist arrived here so that he/she could examine the scene before the autopsy is performed. They were not sure if it was an accident or not.. Its the forensic EXPERT who made the determination and it was the forensic EXPERT who informed the young mans family of his findings. The kid was a few seconds from home leaving a party at Ocean View Golf Course.. So I guess the Expert is lying too?? If this was foul play, then all of you people speculating need to cough up what you know.. Cause you all seem to know everything.
just mentioning bike,,ok,, the way i heard the bike was damaged he was probably rammed from behind
