Feds to investigate mysterious death of Georgia teen Kendrick Johnson (found rolled up in gym mat)
Federal investigators will probe the strange death of Georgia teen Kendrick Johnson, whose body was found rolled up in a gym mat at his high school in January, they announced Thursday.
U.S. Attorney Michael Moore said in a news conference in Macon, Ga., that the FBI and federal prosecutors were now involved in the case, which the local sheriff had closed — calling it a a freak accident.
Johnson’s parents, however, have said they suspect their 17-year-old son was murdered and have waged a public battle to reopen the case, alleging a cover-up by local officials.
A federal prosecutor will speak publicly for the first time about the January death of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson. The Georgia teen was found trapped in an upright gym mat, dead from a blow to the neck. Johnson's parents hope the newly released school surveillance video will provide new clues to his "freak accident."
