I know the Martin family specifically requested that the Feds investigate the lack of any charges being brought against Zimmerman. They stated they not only did not trust the Sanford PD, but had grave doubts that the State would investigate fairly. So, perhaps Sanford itself requested that the Feds investigate (good political move for a town that is desperately trying to get their reputation back since many are boycotting Sanford) and the Feds will usually step in when a request by a municipal entity.
