Uncut: Somer Called Endangered in Tuesday Afternoon Briefing they mention that Somer met up with her siblings in the
1100 block of Gano.
She didn't leave the school with them. I don't think I knew that.
I'm not sure how close that is to Solomon and Gano, but she must have run off almost immediately after meeting up with them.

(Bolded by Me, but not on Blackberry. lol)
So, since the house numbers get larger the farther one gets
from the school, Somer caught up with her siblings soon
after passing the 1080 Gano house that was searched.
Perhaps she told the workers they were doing a good job and
then left and caught up with ST and AT. I had always pictured it as being after she had left ST and AT, not before. Especially, since we have heard over and over that Kyle may have been the last person to see Somer.
The imfamous 1080 house is only the third house from the corner of Grove Park Dr. and Gano. This is also the 2nd crossing guard's station. He says he does not think he saw Somer. In fact, he said he did not think it was odd that he had not seen her with ST & AT. They would have had to fight very quickly to part them in beween 1080 and the corner of Grove Park & Gano.
If Somer ran ahead, and disappeared into a large crowd of children - or a crowd of big children, perhaps he really did not see her.
When did the little boy see her at the tanks? Those were a ways
before the Gano house. Would Somer have back-tracked? If not, the boy could have seen Somer running to catch up with AT & ST.
Just a note: On google earth, the gentleman crossing guard has a motorcycle parked on the sidewalk near the corner. I'm assuming it is his. Someone at one time mentioned a motorcycle.??? Sorry - digression.
However, I think Somer made it past the crossing guard at Grove Park & Gano, and then something happened
after that.
Direction 1 - She crossed Gano and turned right at the corner of Grove Park Dr. without noticing ...... kind of going along with the crowd she had disappeared into. (The street of Grove Park Dr here has a
jog or jag, if you will. Kids must cross Gano, walk on the far side of Gano for several hundred feet and then turn right at the continuation of Grove Park Dr.)
Direction 2 - She crossed Gano with the other kids, but did not turn right on Grove Park Drive, but continued to walk down Gano on the side of the street with no sidewalk -
with, rather than against traffic.
Direction 3 - She crossed Grove Park Drive, but not Gano, staying on the side-walk side of the street and heading on toward Debarry and the 3rd crossing station as is the usual route. Again, a large group of kids (or a group of large kids) could have hidden her from the view of the crossing guard at Gano and Grove Park Drive.
Direction 4 - She turned left on Grove Park Drive along with other children, not crossing either street with the crossing guard. Why left, when it would not even remotely be toward home? I cannot even guess.
In all four of these scenarios, Somer is well past the tank and OPAA and into one of several neighborhoods.
Can someone or more than one, go on google maps and take this journey and see what I mean? It takes me in a whole different sleuthing direction. Thanks.
If this has been posted ...... I do apologize. I have read for hours trying not to repeat, but there is alot from the first couple of weeks I have never read all the way through.
