Took 45 days to arrest Zimmerman. Where do you think he has been?

Just guessing here but isn't 45 days about how long a stint at a drug/alcohol rehab clinic takes? And once he was admitted I don't think they can be arrested either.

And because of medical privacy laws I don't think the prosecutors could have told us about this even if they knew about it.

That could also explain why he wasn't interested in going to the hospital for a thorough evaluation the night of the shooting.

Just thinking out loud here but that 45 days thing got me wondering.

I hope he had a television set, so he could feast on the animosity toward him. I suspect he feared for his own life, somewhat like Trayvon did when Zimmerman had a pistol pointed at him.

That's what I think.

... to survive in prison.

That's where I would have been.

Not even Elvis has been this invisible. No one saw him at any grocery store, out walking, anywhere. Not a single picture...

Your theory about rehab may be the best answer though...

so he didn't have to go out in public. Although the rehab stint could be plausible too. I just think though that an employee of the rehab clinic might have leaked that this is where he was like often happens with celebrities.
