FL - Somer Thompson, 7, Orange Park, 19 Oct 2009 #24

I missed alot of the early video's, vigils, I was too busy and it hurt too much. Recently I have watched most of them (trying to find "Chris") and the first vigil when somer went missing... DT's grief is raw and real and heartbreaking to hear her wailing in the background...it is also unbearable to listen to.

just my opinion... But I also think her behavior is suspect. Her lifestyle and the people in her life could very well play a role in what happened to somer. Distasteful or not, it needs to be addressed..

Just because some of us are new here doesnt mean our input is not valuable or needed.. as I am sure everyone was new here at one time. Our O/T conversations on Thanksgiving were a much needed break. I think occasional O/T conversations help to build a cohesive group and encourages new and old members to voice their opinions in a welcoming atmosphere.

All voices and opinions shared are what promote brainstorming and new ideas... Just my opinions from a still newbie

I agree with you completely sadnpod...we are looking for a murderer....there should be no stone left unturned.

Sorry but that is the truth...everyone on here has an opinion or a story that might shed some light on things that the rest of us would never even think of.

As for eyes4crime and repremanding us for criticizing DT, its mostly due to her own behavior, and like it or not, her wild lifestyle could have very well brought a dangerous person into her home at some point. It IS relevant.

Well good for you! I hope you have a chance to 'nail' that person!!!!

I hope you stay and join in this topic. It is good to have all opinions. I would like to hear your views as well. This is not a one sided conversation and we can agree or not but it opens ours eyes to the possibilities. Everyone of us could be wrong. We just don't know.

 

[sadnpod]

ccane... I have a hammer.

I haven't been able to make up my own theory as yet. I do find Mom's demeanor from the first couple of days of being on the verge of collapse, seemingly inconsolable and I can't think of another term other than wailing when her child was missing to finding out her daughter was murdered and she becomes certainly functional for the cameras. It reminds me of Ron C. and how he reacted initially to Haleigh being missing (falling down, wailing as if he was grieving her death); so that rings bells for me. But I am not sure at all in this case, no gut feelings. Regarding the Halloween pics tasteless & no class IMO as well as the fundraising, boyfriends, obituary, etc. but that is all I read into it. I wish I had a theory, but I just don't & this case is driving me CRAZY.

Many threads back there were a group of posters analyzing mom D. from the psychoanalytic stance - from Maslow's theory and from Erickson's developmental stages. I think, everyone but Freud would be rolling in their graves at the preposterous use of theories on a blog. Are you sure you know enough about mom T. to anayze her personality traits???

Well -- DT certainly has a 5-star track record of men in and out of her, and her children's lives. She must be one very unlucky woman to keep on marrying *losers* and keep on finding *loser* boyfriends to live with.

While I'm no expert like you in the field of expertise here-- I do have something called *common sense*... and my common sense tells me she has issues with relationships-- period. A revolving door of men in and out of her children's lives is far from healthy... in my opinion. It is more than likely a huge task for LE to investigate all of her men, and their wives, and friends, and families to clear them.

Her drug abuse is a huge problem and I have no problem calling it as I see it. THAT is exactly why no one from the DT camp called 911-- and exactly why SP couldn't take the time go out with the children to look for Somer. SP was on drug clean up duty and getting everything out of that house-- in my opinion. How could they call 911 and have LE in that home with all the drugs.... ? They couldn't-- hence the wasted travel time DT took to drive home, and just knew something was wrong. I want to know why she lied about Somer not ever doing something like this?

I could continue on and on with DT's behavior and from where I am sitting neglect to her children. She was busy getting her drugs and playing house with new boyfriends, instead of paying attention to her children. She knew Somer was having problems and she knew Somer was not coming home from school with the other children-- she even provided the sitter with a list of friends and numbers to call in order to find Somer.

I do not believe DT killed Somer-- she was too busy with her boy toys and party life-- however-- I do believe this killer could easily be someone in and out of her home that is connected to one of many boyfriends, or druggie pals.

AND one last thing-- I don't believe the off topic or non-sleuthing about this case over the holiday is anyone's fault-- LE has not provided any information from the get go, and certainly hasn't provided any updates to help anyone with this case.

Running out of ideas. I decided to try this "triangle" that people were talking about.

Somer's school, 1080 Gano, Somer's home...

Bird's eye, I can't make a triangle out of that. It's like a straight line. hmmm.

A page or so back here-- the group was reprimanded for *childish* comments.... ?????

What is this comment supposed to mean? Why would people sleuth you?

I'm back to looking at the MPR again to see what I've missed. Does anyone recall what relationship TMJ had to DT, if any? I noticed her employer was a nearby car wash, and wondered if that might have been why LE talked to her. A lot of those have video installed, don't they? Wonder if that one does, and if so whether they were able to get evidence from it? Might be why they intimated a car was involved.

 

[4mer.naybor]

I'm trying really hard to sit on my hands and let this partly cryptic comment ride but the idea of DT being hospitalized for "something very serious" is driving me almost around the bend.

Care to elaborate - like a good (former) neighbour - LOL - even if it's with additional cryptic hints?

:waitasec:

PS do you happen to smoke?

I wish I could open up on this one, but all I can really say is that this was a major low point in her life...I had already moved away, but mutual friends and DT herself filled me in on the details. That is all I have to go on, I wasn't there, but it was big enough for me to walk away. Put your mind to work, there are only so many things that are that serious. Sorry, that is the best I can do on this one.

and sorry I wouldn't have been out in the garage with y'all on thanksgiving night lol

That comment isn't childish!!! I was targeting why it was done. Someone going to another case and looking up a person's comments for the sole purpose of 'getting even' is vindictive and a waste of time.

Any more updates on Freud, Maslow, or Erickson?

I dunno. We were fooling around last night trying to figure out what state "Chickadee" was from.

I just googled "paris_paris", and a pic came up. It's not me. :waitasec:

 

[ccane]

I would like to say for the record.. I think most of us on here have had somthing happen to our loved ones or to ourselfs. Thats what makes us come here in the first place. I for one am not anti mothers and know the pain of having a child victimized by a pedofile. I would love nothing more then to point my finger at a RSO or any guy. I am usally bias against the RSO and pro the Mom. I have no reason to throw Mom under the bus just because.

 

[Kewpiedoll]

Kewpie doll-you are tough. You certainly calls em as you sees em!

LOL... well-- when it comes to turning a blind eye of the very person that was in charge of taking care of their child, and that so called person is the Mother-- who neglected the child, it burns me to know this could have been prevented.

Another thing that irks me to no end is the mere thought of these children having all these men in and out of their lives. It will take years of counseling over Somer, and all the strange men in and out of their lives.
I can't even begin to imagine what their photo albums look like. A different man for every occassion-- sheesh. AND the final photos for Somer is the latest boyfriend holding DT at the vigils, and hanging on him to the funeral. Yea... it was better to hang on the throw away boyfriend instead of her living children. They had to walk alone in front of her and the one alone by himself behind her.

The answer as to why Somer only had a few photos released is pretty simple. DT had too many ex's to choose from in the photos.

I am just the arm chair blogger with common sense-- lol
I will depend on your expert advice from the pharmacy...

I'm all eyes.... and ready for the reading.

Thanks in advance---
