Somer went to Grove Park Elementary, not Orange Park Elementary. Your 2nd dumpster is at OPE.

The first one at GPE... you can see 2 dumpsters at your spot in Bird's Eye View on BingMaps.

Thanks, I took that out.

Schools have dumpsters and there are several schools in that area. Hate to raise the question but are the school dumpsters on the same schedule as city limits/not city limits?

I can not believe that in this day and age a known Felon's fingerprints are not in the data base for all LE jurisdictions. So...he never did anything crime wise in OC so no prints on file there, but there was a warrant out for him in Polk County.....I have been trying to find out why there was a warrant out for him in Polk to no avail, I am not a super sleuth. Now he tells LE he was going to Georgia, that has hit the hinky meter. They found him on Oct 22, released him because of phony ID. Jeez. This Guy is creepy and crazy, he basically told LE what he did to this poor Victim. It also appears to me that he premeditated this crime. PS The SO with the exact same name WD111 is confined. Maybe he used his ID.

I can't imagine that any school doesn't have dumpsters.

Walsh said that the perp might be someone coming out of retirement. Well it certainly seems like the perp came out of retirement for the Shannon case.

O/T
I'm wondering if that woman did this more often than they think. I've never been so glad to see the forensic astrologists be wrong. :cool:

It is very interesting to see SP pop up again. It just makes me wonder why him? What was the nature of the relationship between he and the family? I think it was stated that the day Somer disappeared was the first time SP was asked to wait for them after school. And DT came home for lunch to have lunch with him, in her home. It just strikes me as odd. Could be total coincidence but something is off here.

I'll also add that it doesn't necessarily have to be associated with Somer's disappearance, but something is off. This is a piece of the puzzle that doesn't fit, or maybe it belongs to another puzzle. :banghead:

Hi There~~~ SP got my Hinky Meter beeping right from the very start. The one and only time that he watches the kids in the afternoon........and little Somer goes missing? Either the dude is one big bag of bad luck.......or......Hink Hink.

And who usually is home waiting for the kids after school?? The same neighbor who drove them in the morning?? IDK

And for SP to send the kids out looking for Somer for an hour (?) instead of calling DT or 911..........HINK.

:rolleyes:

I've seen it said that SP was in banking and that is why he was the one who opened the account for Somer. But not according to that link above. He's a computing system analyst. And according to the MPR he works here. Does that have anything to do with banking? I mean his position, not the company (which seems to be mortgage company).

It also seems to be a collection agency, defaults etc., no address , maybe he works from home.

Re: WK, Charged Nov1, failing to provide current address . Isn't kind of "overkill" to keep him in jail for just this? Perhaps he can't raise the bail.
 
  • #893
Hi everyone! Been a few days since I've been in but besides WLK being arrested for failing to register, has anything else come out?

ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- More purple is surfacing in the community where investigators are following up nearly 3,000 leads to find the killer of 7-year-old Somer Thompson.

The elementary school student was abducted on her way home from school in Orange Park last month; her body was found days later in a Folkston, Ga. landfill.

Bobby Hartley's sign business is now busy making bumper stickers reading "Justice for Somer."

"Now it shifted towards providing as many things as we can that are purple with Somer's name on it to raise money for the family," said Hartley.

The Orange Park businessman said purple magnetic ribbons and rubber wrist bands are in the works.

Working around the clock to find the killer has the Clay County Sheriff's Office following up on thousands of tips.

"We still have a very large task force set up...we are vigorously running down all those leads," said Clay County Sgt. Dan Mahla who declined to talk about suspects or the direction of the investigation.

This weekend, Somer's story will be featured on "America's Most Wanted." Investigators are hoping the national coverage will generate more leads and eventually an arrest.

If you have any information that could help in the investigation call Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS. You do not have to give your name and you could be eligible for a $45,000 cash reward.

Lots of $$$$ being had, but no serious answers as to what has happened. I am not here to bioch slap the Thompson family getting donations, proceeds from fund raisers for the cause but...perhaps some of this money could go towards increasing the reward for serious information. JMO

Re that comment: They are mistaken about when LE began searching the house (AFAIK, it was the Thursday and Friday after Somer was found, not two weeks later -- unless we're talking about a different house). I'm not sure how they could have had forensics in that house before they found her, since I believe what lead them to that house was soot on her body (maybe).

And has the house ever been determined to be a crime scene/the murder scene?

They took items from the house but we don't really know if that was evidence related to Somer.

If keeping quiet hasn't helped LE get any closer to the killer, maybe they should start releasing something to the public. (Just a thought.)

There is more than one post (one after the other) by that person encouraging people to check their garbage.

Somer was found 2 weeks ago today, IIRC.

:eek: I know! It kinda freaked me out when I saw that this poster recommended not once but twice that people check their garbage! jmo

O/T My hubby is from Polson, MT

:) Thanks for the Welcome, Noway!

Seems to me that SP should have called DT immediately, and probably 911 as well - and then left AT home in case Somer returned -------- and if anyone was sent out looking for Somer, it should have been SP, not a 10-year-old child. jmo

I think that house must have been the crime scene.

But with Kyle having seen her there, how could she have been killed there and nobody noticed?

The contractor, Vinson, said that they would find beer cans there. Was it outside or in the house?

If that is true, then my guess is that kids partied there. Surely the neighbors would have noticed! Generally speaking, I think homeless people stay where there are resources-food, panhandling, etc. I don't think a residential neighborhood would do it for them

I'm guessing kids and they could have a car. Maybe they thrill killed her which seems to be happening now. They saw her and decided to scare her and it got out of hand.

But how could kids arrive there when Kyle must have been there right before whatever happened ,happened?

Plus, it was said that machinery was brought in and LE was digging. What the heck? Maybe they are looking for other evidence such as buried beer cans that the contractor just buried rather than throw away. Maybe they thought that there might be some print so something like that on it.
