A couple of years ago, I was personally responsible for starting a lot of OPs on Zimmerman

171. He most likely got just past the T at the top of the Dog Walk.

At that point, the dispatcher told Zimmerman he didn't need to follow Trayvon, and Zimmerman himself admitted he had lost Trayvon.

At this point, if Zimmerman would have followed the dispatcher's suggestions, common sense dictates he would have headed back to his car and waited for police.

However, nearly a minute passes, and at the 3:14 mark Zimmerman says he has no clue as to what address he's parked in front of, so clearly he's not near his car. So he had 45 seconds from the time he's told he doesn't need to follow Trayvon to return to the car, and he doesn't return to the car.

But most notably, Zimmerman first tells dispatch to have police meet him at his car. But he does a sudden about face and tells them to give him a call when they arrive. Meaning that he doesn't expect to be at his car when they arrive, despite apparently losing Trayvon. Meaning he's still interested in trying to find Trayvon, even though he knows police are on the way and that he hasn't actually seen Trayvon do anything illegal.

He may have stopped running, but that didn't stop him from snooping around. He could have easily returned to his car but he was apparently hell-bent on trying to find out where Trayvon went.
