He then testified on that date he became involved with a missing person's file report concerning Abraham Shakespeare and he testified it was filed by Cedric Edom at 24:28 on tape #9 on the first day of the trial.

On the link above, it has some of the first mentions of Cedric Edom I could find here and some or those mentions were by DMoore where she explains why Cedric would want to report Abraham missing on 11/9/09. DMoore stated hree that Cedric was saying he didn't make the report and it was Dorice saying the police said he did.
In my mind, it doesn't really matter who reported him missing, whether they wrote out a report, submitted a tip, called it in on the phone, told a friend, or wrote a letter. He'd been missing from April through November and no one claimed to see him or speak to him except Dorice and according to the paper, HS. Whoever reported him missing was correct. He was missing. But I do see where the defense is trying to go with this.
