Because human nature is to fill in the blanks with imagination. It’s the method of our greatest discoveries and worst crimes.

This is not accurate.

The son was found alive, and spoke with his father.

'I was holding him. He was telling me what happened,' Cyril Rollins says

So, presumably, the police know what happened.

The father had forgotten his phone, and left his son and drove to a gas station to call 911.

When the father returned, the son was dead.

There a few oddities in the initial report. Such as: Why didn't the son call 911 for help first, then his father? Why didn't the father use his son's phone to dial 911? Why on earth would the gas station owner allow his 17 year old daughter to accompany a stranger to a crime scene? Only in Florida I guess...

Right, and why would a father leave his son dying, and not put him in his truck and drive him to a hospital.

Yes,my original post said that the son told his father what happened but the son was close to death.

The father in his panic left his cell phone at home and had to find a store clerk to call the police.
The police won't release what they know about what happened.

Maybe the son was to close to death or maybe the son told the father the events on the phone but was dead when the father arrived.

This has been reported:
1. The father found his son alive.
2. The father was holding his son, while the son told his father what happened.
3. When the father left to get help, his son was still alive.

You would think the father would put his son into his truck, and race like hell to a hospital.

You would think there would be lots of phones on the scene, like the son's phone. So, why didn't the father grab one of them?

I don't know,why didn't the father call an ambulance right after the son called, instead of rushing to the scene himself.

Nothing here makes sense, really!

Maybe noone has blamed Florida man because it was an insane act of murder and not a careless suicide.

A theory I just heard is that; Someone had a beef with one of the men(which one unknown)and knew where they would be and showed up to kill them.The other two men were killed simply to silence witnesses.Just a theory,but makes sense.

It's Florida, nothing makes sense there man. It's like going into an alternate dimension where up is down, and down is up. Any other location I'd agree with you that's a plausible explanation, but not in Florida, nothing is that cut and dry there.

They got them.

Charges:
-Tony "TJ" Wiggins has been charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and possession of a firearm/ammunition by a convicted felon.
-William "Robert" Williams has been charged with tampering with evidence, and accessory after the fact.
