 Kendrick Johnson's body was discovered inside a rolled up wrestling mat on January 11, 2013, in the gymnasium of Lowndes High School in Valdosta, in the U.S. state of Georgia.

The mat that he was found in, was initially standing up.

He was upside down with his feet sticking out.

Some students and teachers, thinking it was a joke at first, pulled the mat down and unrolled it.

The investigators stated that he must have climbed on top of the mats and fell in.

The hole in the mat was several inches smaller than his shoulders.

His arms were behind him, not in front.

The police did not wear booty's or tape off the crime scene.
The body was moved before the coroner arrived.
They did not call the coroner until six hours after the body was discovered. The parents were denied the right to see their son's body until after the autopsy.

They were not even allowed to identify him.

They were not given back his personal effects.

His effects went missing.

The first autopsy that was conducted said he suffocated.

Two of the students that attended the school, would often bully him.

Under the guidance of their father, whom is an F.B.I. agent, would not cooperate with police.

Johnson's family had a private pathologist conduct a second autopsy which concluded that Johnson died from blunt force trauma.

The U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia announced on October 31, 2013,that his office would open a formal review into Johnson's death.

There was a possible anonymous confession.

The US DOJ announced on June 20, 2016, that it would not be filing any criminal charges related to Johnson's death.

Johnson's body was exhumed on June 22, 2018, so that a third autopsy could be performed.

Here are some words from Kendrick's father.

What do you think happened to Kendrick? 

Do you think it was an accident on his part?

Or do you think someone did this to him?

I think someone stuffed him in there as a prank, not thinking he would die.

Probably not thinking about it at all.
