[NSC]

:sleep::sleep:

I am off to bed.

However, on a parting note:

How would a LE agency handle an investigation such as this one if they think their perp was internal. Like on the inside???

Good Night - will read a little from phone - best bed time reading ever!!

It is rumor at this point that she was partially clothed. The reports from the time her body was found all say "partially covered", I assumed with debris and trash. That became partially clothed at one point. The only linkable non message board source for the partially clothed line is Associated Content and it's from some guy on a rant about Somer's death being because of the No Child Left Behind Act.:banghead::banghead:
We know that little about how she was found and the condition she was is in. I hope that tomorrow brings some new info, because my tail is sore, I've been chasing it all day.

Well the article also states:



I have never heard of any witnesses to the actual abduction.

This is the same rant that I refer to above. Not a credible source. IMO.

I'd be interested to know his theory.

Neither have I.

I didn't say it was accurate just providing a news media source (as asked in post I quoted). Misunderstood what was asked. (definitely time for bed now)

There were other sources too ... not finding them this time but I had answered this before. Am catching up on last pages of previous thread and will search for that.

Seems that others are saying "partially covered" ...

ETA: Edited first post in an effort to keep this from being quoted throughout this thread.

From that article -

"She never met a stranger. She was very friendly," said Robert XXXX, a neighbor. "She was always looking for other kids to play with."

Does this jibe with others saying she mostly liked to play inside?

Does this guy have kids? Else how would he really know this?

Has anyone sleuthed him yet?

TIA.

Ok...now you have me wondering about this. His address is considerably further down the street from Somer's. I googled it and it's on the other side of the street down at the other end of the street. How would he know she's aways looking for other kids to play with...did she wander down the street...door to door...looking for children to play with?? Doesn't this seem weird?? It could be he's acting more familiar than he really is, because he likes to be in the news. Or if it's the truth, then why would she be way down the other end of the street...where an older gentleman would know she's looking for kids to play with??

From all the reports, it sounds like Somer played all over unattended at least at times. Two reports of her being friendly and talking to people, she wasn't afraid to run off from the group alone, hugging crossing guards (ick, they shouldn't be hugging children or allowing it), and reports of her not coming home with the group for an hour on several occasions. I don't think it's odd for the man at the end of street to tell what he has seen.

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.

Oh, AOMY! Thank you, thank you, thank you. If I can ever return the favor, please-just ask! :woohoo::woohoo:

You have a good point...unfortunately it does sound like this was the norm for the poor little thing...to wander around unsupervised

From that article -

She never met a stranger

s&bbm

Why is he quoting mom? I clearly recall her saying it cos honestly I didn't quite get it then & still don't..I mean I do but I don't..Ya know?

I dunno.

Don't hold me to this - I am not a great sleuther - but as best I can tell - He is like 57. The only other names I see associated with him are probably his mother aged 78 and father aged 89 possibly deceased.

Does seem odd if he's some older guy with no kids how would he know somer was always looking for kids to play with? She would not be going there looking for kids - unless when she could not find anyone to play with - she went there and said so.

 

[spamelope]

Is there pix/video of Anthony's? tia

I didn't see one if there was, and I was looking. I guess they're last weeks news :woohoo:
Cindy probably came there with a cease and desist order saying "We own "You Are My Sunshine" and we're suing you for copyright infringement." What is up with this song? What used to have such bright and sunny connotations for me now is really macabre. I bet donations plunged the minute they came into town, too.

Somer's father and other family members were "torn up" upon hearing the news, aunt Laura Holt said.

As for the killer or killers, "I don't think they deserve to live," Holt said. "I don't think there's anything worse that a person can do — to kill a child and dump her in the dump like a piece of trash?"

The above quote is from here:
http://www.myfox8.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-us-missing-child,0,1419209.story

It makes me wonder if maybe LE was telling Diena things and keeping her informed, up until the family started either leaking true information or spreading false?
The above quote is the only reference I have found in the media to her being dumped in the dump as opposed to dumped in the trash and taken to the dump. Which tells me that it's either a mistaken comment or it was something that LE was trying to hold back because it's true.

On that utterly confusing note, I'll see everyone in the morning, as we wait for some good news...like an arrest.

Hairline is way different at the ears. Nose might be off, too, angle makes it hard to tell.
Other than that, they are similar.

Yeah, up again. Couldn't stand it. I think I need an intervention. :croc:
Serious, now, though.
Have you all noticed the smirks, the 'attitudes', the exaggerated expressions, the "angles" in almost all of the mugshots?
I think this is absolute learned behavior, passed from perp to perp to make physical, eyeballing, identifications harder to make.

:waitasec:

I think it is odd how LE so adamant about demanding everyone stop with the blue nissan and that whole incident really. THEN I would really like to know why LE just happen to be right there when Somer went missing, and they end up in the parking lot at OPAA.... right where Somer was last seen??? I guess another kwinky dink for questions..?? IDK

"Somer vanished on her mile-long walk home from school in Orange Park. She was squabbling with another child, and her sister told her to stop. The girl got upset, walked ahead of the group and wasn't seen again."

That might be different from the other versions I've heard. I didn't know how many people had seen this version of the sibling disagreement.
I really am leaving now.

 

[CarmelEyesD]

the picture reminds me of someone else that usually wears glasses and inserts himself into missing children cases

I was thinking exactly the same thing-a younger version...

AGAIN... drives me bonkers with so many conflicting reports and we have so little to go on ... kwim...? This case has literally been the most MUM case I have ever followed.
