Air marshal, ex-cop Osterman took Zimmerman in after shooting
(Miami Herald) – In the summary of the friend’s interview with the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement released by the Duval County state attorney, the name and occupation of the friend is blacked out. But one memo in the 300 pages identifies him as an air marshal, and the interview he gave provides enough detail about the relationship to reasonably confirm his identity.
He told authorities that his wife presided over Zimmerman’s wedding. Zimmerman’s marriage certificate lists Sondra Osterman as the person who presided over the ceremony. Sondra Osterman’s Facebook profile shows she’s married to Mark, who posted that he travels for a living and works for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Among his Facebook likes: “Support George Zimmerman.” Sondra’s likes: I hate it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President, Save George Zimmerman from racial onslaught.
Mark Osterman, 44, met Zimmerman around 2006, through his wife, Sondra, who worked with Zimmerman at a mortgage-services company. Zimmerman was a loan originator, Sondra Osterman a loan processor. They later worked together at a different company, Digital Risk.
In his interview with the FBI and FDLE, Mark Osterman said he visited Zimmerman’s house some 50 times. The two men went shooting together about once a month.
Osterman present by Zimmerman’s video walk-through of the shooting scene with police
An air marshal’s role in the former neighborhood watch volunteer’s life could become significant as the case progresses: Osterman is the one Zimmerman’s wife Shellie first called for help the night he shot unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin. Osterman went to the crime scene with her, but said he did not speak “in depth” with either Zimmerman or the officers.
The record shows Osterman also accompanied Zimmerman for a video walk-through of the shooting scene with police, and went to his third interview with Sanford Det. Chris Serino. In a police surveillance camera video shot three days after the killing, Osterman can be seen standing in the police lobby and going up the stairs.
In his FBI statement, Serino said Zimmerman sounded “scripted.”
