I want to know how you got behind the house.??? did you see a tank of some sort??? a media reporter on video said she knew there was a tank in back. didn't know what kind or size or anything about it. she thought that is why they brought in the heavy equipment. but I only saw it unload stuff out of dumpster to put on those tarps LE had laying down.. who knows..i will try to kind link to reporter.. wish me luck.. lol

O/T...Think the server must have had a big burp...lots of repeated posts and I got kicked out and had to log back in....for a minute I thought I had done something wrong

It was having problems ~ I was getting the dreaded white pages. If you check the "remember me" box you won't have to log in all the time.

I think so too about the paint....will have to pay more attention next time...sorry I missed your post the first time...

To me , it looks like the concrete blocks are exposed maybe waiting to be sided?

This is where I get really confused about tanks.. but little boy did say "tanks" so I take that to mean the 2 at solomon st.. ,,, since reporter said there was a tank behind house on gano ave.. burned house..

I try to take the tanks out completely but I just can't.. my mind won't let me.. I think well wonder if little boy say her around them a different day and just doesn't remember which day.. I just wish I had never seen that video..

LOL, so did I.

I felt better when I saw 4 of the same posts from Hopetohelp ... figured I wasn't the only one and that it was the server!

I'll agree that getting a fresh perspective on something we have already talked about can be good. But I also wish some discovery (interviews) would be released just so I'd have a better idea of where I wanted to move next.

Somer loved tree forts and pools the back yard on Gano with the shed might have been a perfect spot , in a childs' eyes.

I took it to mean the big tanks and that she was probably just hanging out behind them because she was upset with siblings....but then it's never made sense to me that just a couple minutes later when she reaches the vacant house she's chatty with the worker(s). That's what doesn't set well with me jmo

Sibs say Somer was ahead of them , does that mean 15 min ahead? Within 15 min if the sibs caught up to the vicinity of where Somer could be and trouble happened, lets say Somer was screaming etc. they would have heard her, unless they passed her before the attack to place. JMO

Video talks about boy. Going to watch now. ETA: Link does not get you directly there. I'll try to find out what video was called.

I hope you can zoom in on the "green circle"....this view is from the school, heading down Gano....looks like a dumpster to me....anyone?? if it is, then it would be in front of the "new hope pentecostal church"...I think that is the name of it....I did some research on it a bit last night....the mail for that property goes to a home on Miller St....according to white pages...a 26 yr old female lives there....maybe needs more sleuthing....IDK....

I pictured she was just ahead of them, and she probably hid out behind the tanks for them to pass. Then if she stopped at the vacant house for a couple of minutes they would have been long out of sight ahead of her. But who knows???

That's exactly what I was thinking too, along with the slide, and the overgrowth of trees, brush, etc. A perfect playground! MOO

great thought ... this is what I have thought also.. what if the friend she had trouble with was there with sibs and they just chatted for while .. like kids do in squabbles.. oh let her go.. she will calm down later.. its ok we will just walk ourselves sort of thing.. could of been chatting for like you said 15 min.. give or take.. I am sure the perp made sure she didn't scream.. he knew she would I am sure. he has been around this block before.. maybe just not caught tho.. dang them to h377...

It makes sense to me with this (possible) scenario: Somer is upset with one or more of the kids. She runs off ahead of them, probably hides out (maybe behind the tanks) until they pass by, then goes to the house. Since the fire, maybe she's been there several times before, just hanging out, maybe playing on the slide, etc. She sees an adult there working and being outgoing & friendly, she tells him he's doing a good job. IMO, she can be mad at the kids and still be friendly with the adult, especially if he's working at her new-found playground ~ the yard of the burned house. Just MOO!!


eta ~ I'm not saying the worker had anything to do with her death, we don't even know when she was killed or where.

 

[Noway]

I think the perp chatted with her first to get her comfortable ... and so the sibs would not have heard any screaming ... remember there were other kids walking then too ... would like to know if the last kids walking saw anything.

ETA: I pick up kids at school and generally am there at the same time. I see the same kids walking and can almost set my clock by them so I think the other kids would know that "Datkid" is always the last one home or "So and So" walks so slow with "Whozit" ...

Or maybe nothing happened to her right away. MOO

I am 150% positive it is a slide...this is why I took the pic...I noticed it when driving by...it IS a slide...beige in color with dk green metal

I guess my dream has been explained.....

Just wondering once a SO has done his time and probation , do they remain on the State Registry and I am assuming every State is diff. Be patient folks I am from Canada..Thx

Yes, they are on the registry forever. WLK was arrested today because he didn't register at his new address. States share info about SO. Once a SO, always a SO.
