If he did give his DNA, why did they need the Dad's? Or did he give DNA after the Dad?
I don't think that they had him on the radar screen that long at all. It's been since October 21 and that's quite a few months.
If he turns out to be the perp, then it is lucky that there was the *advertiser censored* computer, because i don't know if anyting would have happened otherwise.
It doesn't appear that the neighbors had much to say, does it?
Also, I am very confused about where they say Somer disappeared. The reports of where she was last seen are very confusing. Sibs say Gano and Solomon. Worker says Gano at 1080. Crossing guards said that they didn't see her. The last one is adamant.
McKenzie C said that she walked with her to where?
He probably didn't have the dog, if it is true the parents took the dog with them. So how did he get her in broad daylight like that with all of those people around?
Was the cop car parked there by the park that day?
I'm not saying he didn't do it. It's just that there are so many confusing reports of where she was last seen.
That's a very busy street, especially at that time of day. I guess if he was motivated, he could lure her over. Just like apparently she walked up to the workers, I guess she could have walked up to him in his yard and he invited her in.
She was obviously familiar
Regarding confusing reports as to where Somer was last seen:
As we can see, eye witness reports are filled with error - they are the most unreliable, often leads to confusion. Children get their sequencing wrong, days, times, places. I don't find it unusual at all.
Regarding the computer with *advertiser censored*: As traumatic as it was to see kiddie *advertiser censored* for the girl, it probably will be the reason this case finds resolution. The father of the roommate believed and supported his daughter and friends through a tough ordeal with LE. If it turns out Harrell is the perp, they deserve the reward. mho
Regarding the dog: pedophiles don't need dogs - they can groom a child in as little as five minutes or a couple minutes a week for a few weeks. That's their specialty! I don't know if a dog was used or not, I'm not sure it makes a difference. mho
Regarding Harrell as the perp: Maybe when his family left with the dog, that was a trigger for him to offend. He was left virtually alone. (If he is the perp).
Look at us here on WS - 38 threads and we didn't sleuth that particular house on Gano nor did we have any pics of it. (Maybe in the beginning there was, if so, I don't remember). I've been on threads where every home on the child's way home was sleuthed to search for sex offenders, in the house or visiting. That didn't happen on this case, and I'm not sure we would have uncovered any important information if they had been sleuthed. mho
Just a few of my thoughts and as always MOO
You ask great questions Human!
