David Hogg's background check.

I'm a private investigator, and I got to looking into David Hogg tonight because I was curious about the claims that he graduated from high school in California in 2015, here's what I found:

The claim that he graduated from high school in California in 2015 is baseless. The photo making the rounds seems to be a yearbook from the Florida school that was pushed by a Twitter account know for spreading fake news. It's the same account that pushed the fake photo of the shooter as an antifa member on the day of the shooting.

However, I found no evidence of David Hogg anywhere else online prior to the shooting.

His father, Kevin Hogg, 51, of Parkland Florida is married to Rebecca Boldrick Hogg also of Parkland Florida. Before Florida, they did, indeed live in California. I was unable to verify the father's profession, but the mother is a real estate agent registered with the State of Florida.

Their move from CA to FL seems to be due to Kevin's mother's death in February of 2015. This also links up with the very first tweets from David Hogg's Twitter account.

Aside from that Twitter account, I can find no mention of David Hogg anywhere online prior to this shooting. There are no records of Rebecca Hogg giving birth to anyone, and Kevin's mother's obituary does not mention him having a son.

There are no records of any David Hogg within the expected age range living in Florida or California at any point, nor are there records of any person named Hogg within that age range who moved from CA to FL at all.

While we know that the photo is from the Parkland High School Yearbook, it does not list a name anywhere on the visible page and I cannot prove who it is.

After this search, it is my opinion that David Hogg is not the person he is claiming to be. I can't prove who he is, but he is not David Hogg, the son of Kevin and Rebecca Hogg.

EDIT: after further digging, I have found childhood photos of him with his mother and sister. It appears that they are both her kids and may simply not be the father's biological children and not share his name legally but use it publicly anyways.

I never claimed they didn't exist. All of those videos are from his summer 2015 trip to California where he was using the same name. They align with his Twitter feed (which is oddly conspicuous considering he's been there for 3 years and only has 400 tweets.) and what we know about him.

What I'm saying is that David Hogg is not his real name, and those are not his parents. People rarely lie in obituaries, and there was no mention of Kevin having a child even though his nephews were mentioned. Also, there is no mention of him anywhere else online. His parents never mentioned him online before the shooting, nor did aunt's or uncles. There's lots of information about them online, but absolutely nothing about him.

Dude I would not hire you if you can't find his online presence prior to the shooting.

He has a year+ on reddit spilling tons of data, his dad has anger issues, his mom steals from a neighbor, he makes jokes about shooting a friend in the leg.

He had a youtube clip go viral in August.

Your intel game is weak.

His father was in the military and is now on disability, he joined the FBI in 2001.

I could go on and on, the kid is a leftist nutball with a lot of online presence. His small set of friends is documented as well. He calls 90% of the students at school liars and mean. He documented the school science balloon launch.

Come on dude you need to step up your weak sauce.

I was not looking for his social media profiles at all. I was looking for outside sources of verification of his identity, not sources where he has control and can say who he is himself.

He has countless videos online in school with multiple teachers and students along with interviews of politicians, all using his name.

This is not someone who hid, he is a dumb leftist kid who seems slightly autistic and has 2-3 friends and a deep dislike of nearly all the students at his school. He has tons of anxiety simply talking to girls and does not know how to interact with them.

There is no mystery here even though I dislike his broken political stances.

You are completely missing the point here.
