I wonder if the number associated with the witness (in Claire's case, 1) means anything -- was she the first witness interviewed? And if so, why she would come before AT (Juvenile) and Sean P.

Was she at the Thompson house?

Or was she driving down the street and shouted "Dumpster Reporting" and was immediately stopped by the LE officer with Diena before they went inside?
 
Admitting you are being snarky is the first step. I admit it. And I'm going to the corner. BBL
 
Don't think it's Dumpster Reporting.

Given the errors on this report, it could actually be an O that was transcribed incorrectly when it was typed out. As in, "Other Reporting".

No ...Detective Reported the dumpster reported
A woman, who did not want to be identified, tells First Coast News' Monica Landeros she asked investigators to search this vacant home and dumpster on Monday night.

She says, "I'm upset. It's like, should I have looked, should I have gone in the dumpster?"
 
I guess you confused me by answering that DR stood for Dumpster Reporting, but meant Detective Report.

I'm not sure why a woman who is asked "Have you seen this missing child?" would say check the burned out house, check the dumpster" and it would be reported on the MPR.

The woman in the MPR lives about 7 miles from Somer and works about 6 miles away (this is my determination based on information given in MPR). If she was in the neighborhood, why was she there?

How familiar would she be with the burned house/dumpster? And would that be a normal reaction to a lost child in the neighborhood (check the dumpster)? At what time did LE begin to think this was more than just a kid not coming home on time? If Claire was interviewed between 5-7, I'd say it was an odd reaction, but if she was interviewed later in the night, maybe not.

I thought the woman who asked not to be identified was one of the neighbors near 1080 Gano since the story talks about the chaos in the neighborhood.

And wouldn't the witnesses talked to by the officers who were assisting be on their reports?

My head is spinning, and lucky for me ... it's time for my kids to come home. :)
 
Here is a list of things we know for certain in Somer's case.
Things we know for certain (through reporting, or observing). Most of these facts come from reporting so when I reference something, it reportedly happened and there have been no contradictory reports in the media about it. Anything that has conflicting reports will not be included in this list. Obviously I don’t know any of these people, nor am I a local, so I have no firsthand knowledge of anything. If you think I've left something out let me know and I'll add it. Or if I've included something with conflicting reports, I'll remove it from the list.
Thanks

cannot believe LE is not updating on Somer's case. I hope there is an arrest soon..
 
O/T:
happy news for those who've been waiting and praying ... Mew's home!
end O/T
 

from the above article:

“There’s a certain mix of hopefulness when they pursue hot leads, then disappointment when the leads don’t pan out,” Justino said. “There’s determination, hopefulness and anguish. It’s a roller coaster.”


I guess we're not the only ones feeling hopeless when our leads don't pan out.

That is a very depressing article on the state-of-Somer's-case. :(

That says it all.
 
Wondering if anyone local to the area has heard anything about the progress of this case. That article is depressing. Hoping for better news.
 
Been away for a few days, waiting for this moon phase to pass... being away cleared my thought process to look outside of the box. What if, just what if it was another child? What if there was an ongoing feud between Somer & a classmate at school. This classmate happens to have older siblings who were going to scare Somer, or "rough her up" but it turned deadly by mistake? Just like the Maddie Clifton case that happened here in Jacksonville... could the older kids have been hiding behind the propane tanks & said something to Somer like "we're going to get you"; followed her (cutting through the patch of woods unseen by the rest of the kids). They wouldn't have a vehicle & had to think fast. What quicker way to get rid of something than to throw it in a dumpster? Probably used the carpet in the dumpster @ the burned house to roll her up in. That apartment complex with the dumpster isn't that far from the burned house.

They had something on Action News @ 6pm tonight about the FDLE and the crime scene investigator. She said they were looking for fibers & hairs, blood or other things that would help solve the case. She didn't say what they found, just showed a box they bring to dust for prints, etc.. a special light they use that can show hair & fibers that are unseen by the naked eye. Nothing of any value.... just fluff & stuff stuff.

welcome back :)
I've thought about the possibility of kids doing something to her. The place I run into a wall is, the kids would have to walk around with Somer's body or her body rolled in a carpet. That would draw attention I think.
At this point nothing is off the table for me so it very well could have happened.
 
My goodness it's mighty empty in here tonight. I'm afraid to ask what happened

**stare face**
 
Hey Cheewawa! I am popping in and out to check on the status... it seems that we have hit the dreaded LULL...

I wish that LE would have continued doing daily briefings like they did in the Sandra Cantu case. While he couldn't say anything hardly at all it DID keep intense focus on the case...

they were searching for these things in the house on Gano Ave.?

they better come up with something more than fluff & stuff (LOL) to help ease the community's mind about a killer being amongst them, or in the very least on the loose. I'd think the community would be very close to an uprising by now with such little info being released. No one knows what to look for, so it could be anyone. Imagine the unrest.
