>>> now, to sanford, florida where today george zimmerman 's lawyers called a press conference to say, they have no idea where their client is, so they're withdrawing as his lawyer. then we later learned they were never really in touch with him face-to-face in the first case. the strange case of the death of trayvon martin got stranger today. our coverage begins with kerry sanders .
>> reporter: george zimmerman 's legal team walked to the podium and then announced they're no longer his lawyers.
>> at this point we're withdrawing as counsel, if he wants us to come back, he will contact us .
>> reporter: two attorneys say they had never met their client, george zimmerman , but they had an open line of communication with him via e-mail, text and phone. on sunday, the two say there was inexplicable silence and it's been like that since. contrary to their advice, zimmerman reached out to the special prosecutor , angela corey.
>> don't talk to the prosecutors, don't talk to the cops. frankly, don't talk to anybody.
>> reporter: the day they lost contact with zimmerman , sunday is the same day the internet registry shows george zimmerman set up this web site . while his lawyers say they thought he was exercising his right to remain silent, he found a way to speak out. he writes in part, i was volled in a life altering event which led me to become a subject of media coverage . i've been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family, and ultimately my entire life. and there is a link to donate, funds he says that are only for living expenses and legal defense .
>> our concern is that for him to do this when he has a couple professionals out there working as hard as we were for his benefit, to handle it this way suggests that he may not be in complete control of what's going on. we're concerned for his emotional and physical safety.
>> reporter: trayvon martin's family --
>> it takes a lot of patience dealing with this.
reporter: and their lawyers tell nbc news, they're stunned and fear george zimmerman could be a flight risk, if the special prosecutor chooses to bring charges.
>> will he ever be brought to justice, if and when he is charged for killing their son? those are some very serious questions.
>> reporter: as for george zimmerman 's whereabouts, his former lawyers say they believe he's in hiding and no longer in the state of florida. they say they continued to believe in him and stand at the ready, because if they want representation they say they're ready to represent him, again. brian?
