If you have a source that says something that contradicts the information below, please post it with the source. If it is a video, if you could give an estimated mark at which the statement is made, that is a tremendous help.
:star1: Indicates updated material from the last posting of this. If you notice a broken link, let me know. I'll try to find a new source while still indicating where I found the original material.
2008
August: Just after Rod Buchanan's stepson turned 17, stepson sees *advertiser censored* on Jarred's computer (see video, 5:46 mark). This was at GLD II's house on Gano.
Source Buchanan said his own stepson was playing on Harrell's computer last year and found some pornographic pictures. He told the adults in the family, but it was "kinda brushed under the rug," and no one reported it, Buchanan said. Source
August 1-November 1: Estimated Date. LE believes that on or between these dates, Jarred Harrell is guilty of committing the offense Lewd & Lascivious Molestation of a Child Under 12 and Producing/Performing Sexual Performance of a Child (12 counts).
Source (page 8) Later reports showed that he lived at house on Gano, and victim's mother identified the room her daughter was in as Jarred Harrell's room at 11xx Gano.

2009
June: Estimated Date. Jarred Harrell is asked to move out of his parents' house. They want him to be on his own, be a man, and take care of himself. They call Rod Buchanan's stepdaughter and ask if he can move in with them and be a roommate; they say sure. Jarred moves in with Buchanan's stepdaughter and her fiancé. (Explanation is that Buchanan states, in response to how long did JH live with your stepdaughter, and says a couple of months, so JustyThoughts estimated at June 2009). Source Later that year, Harrell moved in with Buchanan's stepdaughter and her fiancé at an apartment a few miles away. Source
August 4: Roommates kick Jarred Harrell out for stealing, specifically their iPod.
Source According to Rod Buchanan, he asks if they can keep his computer until he finds somewhere to go.

Source Roommates bring computer to Jacksonville Sheriffs Office, who determined it was out of their jurisdiction.
Source JSO turns it over to CCSO, and Fred Eckert takes over.
