Without reading your entire post....
Looked at video & man in purple shirt stood out to me.

stood out to you how Beatrice?? could you explain a little more please?? why he stood out etc. ??

 

[pinamia]

Thanks. I thought it was a whacko doing it!!!

Here's the list of his videos. They are pretty weird. Even Jon Benet. It seems this person is more obsessed than us. He's from the Philippines. I just signed up for his channel. Thinking maybe I'll learn something. It's weird when I was looking for videos on Somer, I found it. I think perhaps Somer's killer has a brain tumor or frontal lobe problems. It could be the deaf kid that was videotaping buses in the area. Perhaps John Walsh is right about the serial killer angle.

I don't think there is anything cute or fashionable about a 7 year old carrying a book bag, or anything else that has a skull and crossbones design. I don't think it is right for them to be wearing anything with that design either. Doesn't matter if it is the "in" thing. If my granddaughter came to my home with something like that, I would cut a "new one" on my daughter and then take gd to buy more appropriate bag or whatever.

If my daughters, who are now 40 and 42 came to my home wearing anything with that motif, they can be sure I would comment and they would know it wouldn't be very nice.

Call me old, but skull and crossbones has always meant grave danger to the point of death.

Sick that Somer's mom let her have these types of designs on her belongings.

This guy in purple shirt? The guy in front of his to his left is the one that bugs me...he's been in many videos, hanging posters, with reporter, etc.

This is the guy that's really bugging me...who is he?

He's R. O'C--n, a neighbor of DT.

I didn't watch the whole thing. Did I miss something?

He has got a compilation of many, many videos. It says he is from the Phillipines. They are all murder type stuff...Jon Benet, 48 Hrs, Me channel, etc...I think those five shows are actually a series on the Me channel. He's just downloading them.

I think that the man in the lower video is either the man in the white button-down shirt and brown pants (most likely I think) or the man in the gray shirt and pony tail. It's hard to see how long his hair is in the baseball cap.


ETA: And I believe that the guy in the un-tucked purple button-down looks like the guy in one of the stand-up interviews that was identified as an in-law on the mother's side, or at least that was the speculation as to his identity. He looks like the same guy to me, in what little we see of him.

Son of former Clay sheriff candidate arrested
Greg Walsh | March 20, 2009 | 4 Comments



ORANGE PARK – A Fleming Island man who became part of his father’s 2008 campaign for Clay County sheriff when he was accused of sexually assaulting three high school girls was arrested on an aggravated battery charge earlier this month.

Adam Keith Taylor, the 19-year-old son of Republican sheriff candidate Mike Taylor, faces a felony charge accusing him of beating a man during a confrontation at an Orange Park apartment complex March 9, according to a Clay County Sheriff’s Office arrest report. He remains free on $7,500 bond pending an April 1 arraignment before Chief Judge William A. Wilkes, according to Court Clerk records.


Hope this helps...


ETA: lol sorry but thought this part was funny.. had to post it too.. must have fallen on hard times.. No money..hmmm

info from same article as link above..

A phone number listed for Adam Taylor, of Green Spring Circle, was not a working number. He is being represented by the Public Defender’s Office.

Mike Taylor could not be reached for comment.

if he is being represented by the PD's office it doesn't appear his daddy is standing behind him now. Finally some charges that made it. I can't believe he wasn't charged for his crimes against those girls. this guy is Trouble, that's right, with a capital T.

I thought at first he was saying ME, Brain damaged...as in himself. When I watched the videos, I remember seeing them before, or parts of them before. I remember reading or seeing someone on a show talking about his brain injury, and that after the brain injury, he had no empathy or feelings of love or sadness or anything. He wanted his wife to leave him because he didn't think it was fair to her or their children...he said he had absolutely no feelings for them one way or the other...and then after that, I remember seeing parts of this show. So I don't know if that was a series or something or what.

Strange angle that it could be someone with brain damage. But considering alcohol and drugs can do the same thing, it isn't that helpful. But just a thought. I wonder if PC does drugs.

I'm wondering about the vision of the brown haired, all american boy. Didn't the poster say she was going to try and communicate with Somer this morning? Does she realize I'm about to wear my refresh button out on my computer waiting???:waitasec:
I have a vision she (the poster from last night) won't be posting today.

i thought the series is saying 3 factors-when combined- can make a serial killer.

-brain damage
-mental illness
-abuse

maybe I'll go back and watch the other videos.

Here's my take on the funeral attire and our perp.
It is my opinion that our perp is still in that area and hiding in plain sight.
I think he/she is good at blending into his surroundings.
I think he/she has been in the area a while, a fixture so to speak.
I think he/she is an average person that you do not look twice at, nothing about them stands out.
I think it's the only way this crime could have been carried out in broad daylight, in a populated neighborhood when 3 schools were letting out.

That being said, I think if they were at the funeral, they most likely blended right in. They probably were not the one wearing jeans, to make someone say hmmm check them out kinda weird huh.

I do believe they have inserted themselves in this case, or this family's life (if not already there) somehow. And I also think they most likely attended all vigils and the funeral.
Unless this was an accident (which i do not believe it was) this person is a sick individual who more than likely gets off reliving details, and seeing/being in the midst of the grief they caused.

I could be waaaaay off base here but these are my thoughts on what kind of person did this to an innocent little girl in the middle of the day on her walk home from school.

I bet you any of the three can do it. But of course if combined it would be even more likely. Remember Jeffrey Dahmer never was abused according to his parents but he did abuse alcohol.

I'm seeing two men in a purple shirt.

One, at the beginning of the video, who is with the family (at the back of the family group). He is the same young man in the yellow polo shirt in the candlelight vigil pics.

The other man in a purple shirt (short sleeves, not tucked in) is toward the end of the video. He's short, older.

Which man in a purple shirt is the one in question? Thx!

SP and PC were both in the middle. In fact, SP set up a donation account for the family. You can't be more in the middle than that.

Yes, the video is part of a TV show on A&E

and thats a very good line of insite too, I personally wouldn't even rule out a member of le either. who was it that came up with the idea of searching the landfill? yep a le official... talk about being in the spot light.. some of us don't want to think of le official as being capable of doing something like this, but in my opinion a child would hop right into a sheriff car in a second, especially since the neighborhood already had some odd things going on with someone trying to lure another girl into a car shortly before somers abduction. if it was a deputy, on second shift umm like a 3 to 11 shift then caring a body in a trunk till the shift is over wouldn't be un heard of, then dump the body in a dumpster prior to the shift ending, heck who would really pay attention to a sheriff deputy lurking around a dumpster site especially after a child went missing? its all a shot in the dark for me but its a plausable senario to be and jmho....
