A federal grand jury investigating the details surrounding the mystery death of Georgia teen Kendrick Johnson has subpoenaed his former schoolmates and their parents.

According to CNN:

Among those seen entering the federal courthouse in Macon on Thursday were current students at Lowndes High School and current and former students at Valdosta High School, also located in Lowndes County.

Thursday’s development comes four months after the feds launched an investigation. Johnson’s parents have said the original probe was mishandled by local authorities. The FBI has interviewed several of Johnson’s former schoolmates, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

Outside the federal courthouse Thursday, U.S. Attorney Michael Moore said, “We’re working methodically, and sometimes we remember we’re running a marathon instead of a sprint. So, we’re working on it. It’s better to get it right than to get it fast. I’m satisfied that the FBI is moving forward at the appropriate speed, and they’re doing a fine job.”

If you recall, 17-year-old Johnson was found rolled up in a gym mat in the Lowndes High School gymnasium on January 11, 2013.

Investigators with the Sheriff’s Office ruled his death accidental, but a second autopsy commissioned by the family revealed that Kendrick’s death was “apparent non-accidental, blunt force trauma.”

As for the latest development, a complete list of those subpoenaed for Thursday’s grand jury proceeding was not clear.
