It has been stated in a few articles that there were tweets being sent by students and others prior to the announcement that a body had been found in the old Lownde's High School gym.

Kendrick Johnson: Nanny calls for the murder of two innocent boys
May 5, 2014
Thanks to the misinformation on facebook pages like Real Justice Now and online publications like Ebony, and countless misinformed or willfully ignorant media and individuals posting on social media sites, this nanny and future nurse calls for the killing of two innocent boys. Two boys who had alibis for the period of time Kendrick Johnson was missing. They have NEVER been named as persons of interest or suspects because there has never been any evidence to suggest Kendrick Johnson's death was anything other than a tragic accident.

The (frivolous), lawsuit filed on May 13, 2014, by Chevene King, Attorney for the parents of Kendrick Lamar Johnson.  Not unlike a frivolous lawsuit King filed by Attorney King back in 2004 which cost him over $90,000.00 -- which has yet to be paid (as far as I can tell).

Valdosta FBI Agent and Wife Suing Ebony Magazine, (and Fredrick Rosen) For Defamation Following 'Who Killed Kendrick Johnson' Articles
September 6, 2014
Valdosta, GA - In a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court, Richard and Karen Bell, accuse Frederic Rosen, who wrote a series of articles entitled "Who Killed Kendrick Johnson" for Ebony.com of libel and defamation.

In the articles, which have since been taken down, Rosen claims that KJ was murdered. He names two fictitious brothers, Clark and Chris Martin as suspects and says their FBI agent father covered up the murder.

Kendrick Johnson's brother, Ervin Johnson, busted and charged with possession of drugs and felony fire arm possession.

Miscellaneous Evidence - Points of contention for "murder" theorists
