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
