CBS12 News requested the 911 calls made to report Rogers missing, and the one made by the person who found his body the next day. That request was denied, police citing the ongoing investigation.

There have also been questions regarding the bike found next to Rogers’ body.

His mother on social media said he left for a bike ride back on Nov. 15 around 6:30 p.m. Police aren’t confirming that Rogers went for a ride, only that a bike was found next to his body on Nov. 16 at 9 a.m.

I find it interesting that the kids at school knew very early on that Ryan was found dead.

It was in the news early on that the principal announced to the school that he was found and had died in a tragic accident. The wording was quoted and consistent with what Mom reported at the time also. I don’t have the source but it’s been shared several times in MSM. The announcement may have been made to prevent rumors and advise students that grief counseling was available.

Did you report what your kids said? They specifically asked for anyone whose kids had heard anything to call. Even if it’s rumors, it’s up to the police to decide if it’s credible.

I have not called yet, but have been thinking about it. Thank you for the reminder

Doesn’t sound like he’d want to be out in a very dark area on his own…

I imagine for some, a bicycle is their only source of transportation.

Not in that area. Most people on bikes on that part of Central are riding for exercise. It is a very affluent area. The closest house for sale to the site he was found is on the West side of Central and is going for $11 million and the closest on the east side is $550K.

This makes me so sad. Such a heavy heart.

“I’m afraid of the dark and ghosts”
“We need love and peace”

I hope you have all the light and love and peace around you sweet boy!!

Thanks for your reply @Gardens. IMO, it's probably more a matter of culture versus affluence. While we certainly don't share your sunny skies, we do have a significant supply of affluent neighborhoods whereby year-round biking for such affluent, residents is a choice. According to Bicycling Magazine that rates Seattle as the most bike-friendly city in the United States, it's primarily due to safety, friendliness, energy, and culture. Maybe Palm Beach Gardens city planners/design engineers are counting on "build it and they (cyclists) will come."

Seattle named the 'Best Bike City in America,' but is it really?

Thank you - I edited and was adding it to my post at the same time, suspect is not named in this article. I am sure everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that an arrest has been made!

 

[Strange75!]

I am going to guess an online predator. There would have been an electronic trail and it would have taken time, police would have obviously wanted to stay quiet with "progress being made". His memorial quote stated he was into gaming. Who knows, maybe he met this perp online gaming or elsewhere. Press conference tomorrow. THANK GOODNESS - JUSTICE AND SO SOON.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A suspect in the death of Ryan Rogers has been arrested, police told WPTV on Wednesday night.

Palm Beach Gardens police confirmed that an arrest has been made and a news conference was scheduled for Thursday morning.

Police said the suspect's name is being withheld at this time.

IMHO they were able to lift DNA from Ryan's body to identify a suspect.

Which is partly why the delay in increasing the reward. IMHO of course.
