FWIW==

From the comment section of First Coast News:

Somer's house wasn't robbed. Police were checking ID's of all the people around Somer's house on foot and in cars. These four men were stopped and ID's showed they were wanted for armed robbery.

Sheriff Rick Beseler says they are focused and determined to find the monster who took Somer&#8217;s life. &#8220;The person who did this should worry. We are going to get him.&#8221;

On Tuesday more interviews were done in the community. Questions being asked to those who think they saw something and to those who say they didn&#8217;t.

Sheriff Beseler says they are still waiting on lab results from the dumpster, the landfill and a house on Gano Street. That evidence could take days even months.

Public Memorial Followed By Procession To Private Graveside Service

Somer Thompson was a friendly, fun-loving girl who couldn't pass a school crossing guard or puppy without giving a hug.

In addition to Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler, sheriffs from surrounding counties attended the memorial, as well as Mark Lunsford, whose 9-year-old daughter, Jessica, was killed by a sexual predator in 2005.

Many children also attended -- their parents holding them close.

While cameras and recording devices were not allowed at Tuesday morning's memorial service for Somer Thompson, reporters were welcome.

Channel 4's Jennifer Waugh attended the emotional service and sent in this reporter's journal:

Tarkington closed the service by saying:

"God is with Somer and her family. God has felt your pain and remembers every tear you've shed for a little girl taken too soon."

"To think about what she had to go through, they found her in a dumpster, what kind of horrible monster does that to a child. How could anybody do this?" he said. "It's just horrible, horrible. To see the casket sitting there and know that my little girl's body is in there and I can't hug her, kiss her, help her."

Somer's father flew down from North Carolina to say goodbye one last time, to his little girl.

"I know she's in heaven, but I miss her and if I could take her place right now, I would."

Will it stop with Somer?
<snipped>
It is always a difficult task to work on a story with a missing child and it becomes even harder if the child is found dead. However, I've learned that it is far better for the loved ones of the child to have closure rather than wonder about the possible torture their child could be enduring while missing.

7-year-old Somer Thompson was missing for a little over two days before her body was discovered in a landfill about 55 miles north of where she was last seen.

In a neighborhood where parents feel safe enough to allow their children to walk to school those parents are now clutching their children a little bit tighter tonight.

I don't buy the story of it being undercover LE in the blue car...makes absolutely no sense. Nothing adds up with the story the witness gave in the video. Nor does the statement the child gave her mother regarding the incident match up with what LE is allegedly saying....imo of course

I am anxious to see OFFICIAL facts released. Way TOO many things out there and WAY too many mistakes.

1) The RSO CWG on the original police report - now thats a mistake
2)The Blue Nissan Incident - now that is a mistake and it was LE- wonder if that is a COVERUP because if it was a real incident LE dropped the ball by not informing public
3)Conflicting reports of where Somer was last seen
4)Not enough info about incident Somer had a school and what exactly happend thereafter
5)Mysterious Kyle calling into an orlando news station but not the local one
6)The armed robbery at the residence of Somer - jail was called and these people were booked there - now it was just LE checking ID's - I DONT BUY IT!! If that were the case then what is the big deal to address the media with it??? WHY NOT JUST SAY THAT!! If it doesn't have to do with Somers disapperance. And them having NO BOND, WTF????
And MORE AND MORE AND MORE -
