Bizzare Case

This story is all over the news right now, and its a really strange one.

The teenager found dead on a Milton street last week is the 16-year-old who disappeared from his father’s house in North Carolina, authorities confirmed last night….The body had been found with broken bones and evidence of massive trauma, especially to the head. A preliminary autopsy did not specify a cause of death.

Two people with knowledge of the investigation said the body looked like it had been run over by a vehicle.

Two vehicles matching the description of vehicles leaving the scene that night, including a white Audi with a Curry College sticker, were impounded.

Officials are also awaiting toxicology reports that might provide more clues about what happened to the teen….A Charlotte police report has stated he was last seen at 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 14, but Laura said that Tisdale’s younger brother, who shared a room with him, saw him in bed at 1:30 Monday morning.

Laura said the family believes he must have disappeared well before 5:30 a.m., which is when Tisdale’s stepmother usually gets up to make sure the children are getting ready for school….Relatives are trying to understand how the teen got to Milton, which is 900 miles away from his home, in less than a day.

Now that’s a VERY strange case. I will note that Jay and I taking turns at the wheel made it from my place just north of Boston to Charlotte in 14 hours, and that included one long stretch of road construction, but it was not a journey taken lightly. Even more heartbreaking are these details.

When Delvonte, who is part of his school’s ROTC, did not return, the family contacted police….Some of Tisdale’s relatives have said he has run away in the past and had had friction with his father, a chef who neighbors said forbade his children from listening to rap music and wearing baggy pants.

Man sounds like this young life was heading places before it got cut short violently. There is more to this story, but who knows if it’ll ever fully be unraveled.

My heart goes out to the family, nobody deserves this.

Also on a final note because the murder weapon was a car I tagged this “Gun Death?”.
