Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin, called a non-emergency 911 line at the Sanford police department on Feb. 27 to report his son missing the morning after the teen was shot to death by an overeager neighborhood watchman.
“It hasn’t really been 24 hours, but I’m from Miami and my son’s up here with me,” Tracy Martin tells a dispatcher in the 8:39 a.m. call released Wednesday.
[audio:Tracy-Martin-911-call.mp3]“I’m actually staying at my girlfriend’s house,” Mr. Martin told the dispatcher in a calm voice, explaining that Trayvon didn’t know anyone in Sanford.
A second phone call released Wednesday, the dispatcher called Mr. Martin back a few minutes after the first call to ask for more identifying information.
“Does he know anybody in the area that you think he might have went to, like a friend’s house or anything like that?” the dispatcher asks. Tracy Martin says no, “I have a nephew up here but he’s not at my nephew’s house.”
At the time Mr. MArtin placed the call to 911, Trayvon’s body lay unidentified in the morgue at the Sanford Police department for over 12 hours.
Trayvon crossed paths with George Zimmerman on Feb. 26 inside the Retreat at Twin Lakes community where he was staying at the townhouse of his father’s girlfriend.
Zimmerman is currently being held in a Seminole County jail awaiting a bond hearing on June 29. Zimmerman’s $150,000 bond was revoked earlier this month. He faces a 2nd degree murder charge in Trayvon’s death.

Wow…really sad.
A parents worst nightmare. Just sad.
OMG!! So sad! I couldnt even imagine what he was feeling
if zimmerman is not convicted, they better sue the drawls of his ass
I updated the post with the missing audio.
@ lovezoe: You want me to write a post about a woman crying?
Sanford police chief Bill Lee was fired today.
Zimmerman can burn. His wife can burn too…
So he reports his young black son missing in the SAME area on the same night that a young black male was found shot to death and the police couldn’t put the two together?
Did the Chief really lose his job?
“Not guilty” folks. Do not be surprised when this man is acquitted.
I cant even listen to this, I just want to cry
So incredibly sad. I pray justice is served, in some kind of way for this family.
Justice will be served one way or another.
This trial is gonna be as popular as the OJ trial.
Wow, I didn’t know it took some time to find out about their son, that’s horrible. I won’t listen to the audio purposely. There’s no need to jump off topic so quickly. I see this as a wake up call. Pay attention to your children’s whereabouts, no matter how old they are. My cousin just told me that human trafficking (prostitution) is becoming really big now. Teens are being snatched off the street and forced into that life. I won’t even get started over the senseless killings.
They keep showing this LA Riot documentary on VH 1 almost as to show a blueprint on to how it may / should go down upon an acquittal, Imo.
Just finished watching the La Riots doc on VH1 with my sons. Used it as a black history oppt. They sat there quietly and listened to me without one wiggle or moan of complaint. I told them if Zimmerman gets off. We may be faced with the same scenario.
I’ve been without my log in for two years!!!! Finally remembered the password. I’ve had SR withdrawals. Oh how I missed the interaction…….
I am so incredibly sad regarding this case…
And I truly do not want to listen to the tapes. I really wish the conviction will come because I can only imagine how the family feel having a daily reminder everyday that their son and loved one isn’t here and having the events prior to his last moments played out.
for swift justice in this case…truly sad indeed!
listening to this truly made me sad…that poor man….
I really hope they convict this man. I won’t listen to that because its extremely sad
… and I’m an ugly crier.
I dont wanna hear the tape either. I wish 911 would.stop releasing everyones emergency calls.
I don’t want to listen to the call either.
I said Lauren London and the dude who was TIs best friend in ATL could replace Mel and Derwin. BET just ruined the show.
@Nhere
Keep on talking yo!
I just had a lengthy discussion with a cop and he said that there were xmillion slaves here in the USA. I was shocked at the number, so shocked that I cant remember.
Yall get yall kids (boys and girls) and STOP letting them dress like they dont have any parents or people that value them. The Kidnappers see this ish! All it takes is 2 seconds to drug somebody up & its a wrap.
I was told that its no secret and its big business
*sex slaves
So I was watching GMA this morning and they have a tape of Zimmerman explaining the whole situation the day after the shooting….
I refuse to listen to the dad’s audio. I can’t do it.
@Daisy- You talking about Jackie Long. Someone on another site said it should be Columbus Short. LL is good for playing the hood trying to be boughie.
On the topic above, I REFUSE to listen to any of the tapes, breaks y heart.
i can’t listen to this. a friend of mine was missing after going out in the middle of the night to get a prescription filled for her toddler. her mom had to call all around. it’s a terrible thing. it turned out she was hit by a car running a stop sign in a police chase and died.
glad the chief was fired. sanford did this family DIRTY.
Good morning folks
Sad to say but I still don’t think Zimmerman will get what he deserves from the legal system.
I think this will end up sort of like the LA Riots.
@Lovezoe-I heard about that 68 year old woman this morning, what flucking kind of kids are those, why didn’t the bus driver intervene??? I heard they have a fund for her to send her on a vacation, I believe they are over $100K

Auntie any update on the recovery of Ciara Williams, the young lady who fell out of the W hotel window last year?
******************************
i believe she had a facebook page w/updates so you can do a search there.
FuturedocDonte says: Zimmerman can burn. His wife can burn too…
***************************
her mugshot was scary….
Free- I read the other day more innocent people are killed from police chases than stray bullets. Sorry about your friend. :hugs:
Bootcamp- If that was my kid (which it would never be), it would be some slow sanging and flower branging. I had to cut it off. One told the lady you so fat if I cut your stomach McDonalds would fall out. Another one said your family killed themselves so they wont be near you. Her son committed suicide 10 years ago.
@Love-I didn’t hear all of that, I heard the kids posted it on YT. She said she wasn’t even going to pursue it until she found out they posted it. I did not know about her son…that’s just dreadful, disrespectful and rude…
I won’t/can’t listen to the tapes. Just knowing what the outcome was as he reported him missing is sad enough.
Now on the other hand, them kids that bullied that lady AND I seen they were putting their hands on her, they would get it how they live! Them physically TOUCHING HER…..”ASSAULT and BATTERY, ya hona! GUILTY!”. I don’t play with kids, if yall were taught at home, none of THIS would have happened. I STRESS to my daughter, even if you WITH somebody and they commit a crime, YO ASS IS GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION! Choose the company you keep, WISELY!
All you negative nancies just stop…have you never heard of the power of the tongue…instead of saying he’s going to get out, how about you speak justice into existence…ugh…I can only imagine the pain this man is going through…no parent wants to ever bury their child and in such an avoidable manner too…the pits of hell are too good for Zimmerman
PRYNN
see that’s what kids don’t u/s…I tell my brother the same thing and he recently got caught up on some ish his friend had in the car…cops don’t give a fcuk that you didn’t know…if they see it, it’s yours…you could be facing life behind something your so called friend did
CHEERIO PIP PIP AND ALL THAT SORT OF RATHER…

@Naija
GIRL, I was watching this episode of First 48 and these lil young dumb kids robbed and killed this man. The lil girls that set him up were like 14-16/17 years of age. “Butta” came in and shot the man up. “Butta”
was one of the lil girls “bawwwfriieeennnd” (in my Bawbra voice off of Teen Mom). EVERYBODY ended up being charged with murder. Dude was the pianst for his church. Sad. I immediately dialed up my daughter and told her about it. I have to stress to her about the seriousness of these crimes and decisions these young kids make.
@Boot
I can see him donating 14.99999999 of it to charity.

Hey Candi, pull that damn dress down rat now…
@Pryn-one of my co-workers son was involved in a shooting, not the actual shooter, but there none the less. At 19, he is now serving a mand. 15 yrs…that guilt by association ain’t no joke..
The more I find out about this case,the more it sickens me…

*******************************
based on watching the first 48, i would venture to guess that at least HALF the black men in prison are there because they were WITH someone who committed a crime. i’ll never forget the episode where a YT was in the car with a couple who murdered a guy in the car (so ALL of them were in the car). the police went to his house, saw it was in a nice neighborhood, and decided not to charge him because he wanted a chance to go to college.
ZOEZOE!!

it’s too hard for me to watch the 1st 48. it’s sooo friggin depressing for me

lawd i memba the ABC sto’s tho! if u aint from or lived in VA ppl look at u crazy tambout a ABC sto!
VA resident here. Born here too. We call it the lil boys sto. Now what shocked me was the drive-thru likka stores in Pensacola
So sad.
Zimmerman story just don’t add up. In his statement to the police he said Trayvon was banging his head on the sidewalk, trying to cover his mouth while he scream for help, and reaching for his gun all while repeatedly striking you in the face. 1st Trayvon only has 2 hands, I just don’t see him being able to do all of this and still have the ability to hold a 200lb man on the ground when he only weighs about 150-160lbs.

And so what if Trayvon DID say that to him. I would say the SAME thing to a mofo that just walked down on me out the dead of night. Trayvon didn’t know WHO that man was. He was fighting off a STRANGER/LUNATIC/CRAZY DERANGED/PSYCHOTIC KILLER. You best believe, if somebody walks down on me out of the dead of night, bish gone fight to the finish! I’ve ALWAYS told my fam, if something happens to me and it looks like a scuffle done took place and the police STILL don’t have no leads, CHECK UNDER MY NAILS! I can GUARANTEE yall gone find a piece of that fukkas DEENA (DNA) bloodline under there. Fvk you thought.
^^^^^^^ on the cheek of course….

I see you in here preaching early this morning!!! I agree 100% and I saw that same episode of 1st 48.

That rigt there just tore my ENTIRE heart. This court case will be EPIC. Zimmerdeadman is GOING DOWN!
the worst feeling having a family member missing. it’s an indescribable feeling of being helpless. you dont know whr to start or what to do in terms of searching. to be the parent and discover your child has been killed, crazy.
