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

[pinamia]

There are quite a few posters who have experience with perps, so I thought I'd share my experience.

When I was 11 or 12, there was a neighborhood store my friends and I frequented. When I went to the store alone, the male owner would always give me back my change. He started small - coins, then went to bills. The last time I visited he gave me a $20 bill, which was big money back then. Of course, my mother found out, since I had no way of earning that much money.

My parents went to the store, but, of course, the man denied everything. I was never allowed to go into the store alone or even with friends. The "kicker" to this was that the man had three daughters!

No. My parents did not report the man. This was before there was an emphasis upon child molestation. Then, too, since the man did nothing to me, there was no proof he was a molester. However, my parents knew...

He was in the grooming phase. Your parents were very smart.

I posted about this area many many threads ago.. I thought tank area was spooky but when I turned around and went down that street those picnic tables do not even look inviting.. down right spooky area...

I do not like that whole area from the school and park.. all of it gives me creeps.. that house across from the tanks is spooky too.. sits at gano and solomon...

just my :twocents:

I was thinking of that house as well. Very unkempt.

The sad and scary part is some of these pervs are people we would have never thought was bad.They possibly played,talked to our children a few times.Maddie Clifton played with the little boy who killed her.Sandra Cantu went to this sunday school teacher's house and played with her child.Someone I would have never thought of to have hurt Sandra.You very good being an over protective mother.

I so agree 100 % on this with you Ms Suzanne... People that you would never dream to hurt your child have been found guilty of doing it.. Just never know ... I trusted no one when my children were young.. they are grown now and I breathed a sigh of relieve they were never touch that way (yes I asked them both when they were about 15 and 17.. I couldn't take the silence.. We taught our children they could come to us about anything no matter what.. I felt my children would of come to us but I had to ask anyway.. I was so thankful both of their answers were NO..

But I know for a fact it happens more than some know ...

Anyone can kill a child at any time. Intentionally or not intentionally. One evening I trusted a "friend" with my autistic son at a McDonald's play area while I went to buy something in the front area. He was around 5. She said she would watch him. Well, she didn't watch him and let him exit the restaurant. He was without shoes and ran around the whole periphery of the restaurant which was on a very busy 3 lane road ( 6 all together and at times with turning lanes so 8). It was raining to boot. She didn't move a foot to try to get him. She told me she didn't know the door there was unlocked.

Any case, that McD's no longer has that door there (it was an emergency door). Perhaps some other child escaped from there. That was the first time I had gone to that McD's which she had brought us to with her 2 kids around the same age as my son. Motto of the story even if someone is nice, they can be very neglectful and cause your child to be in horrible danger.

sadnpod-does ST know SP? It seems he must have been around

He said no...

 

[pinamia]

He said no...

Perhaps ST should go and visit his kids. And request a meeting with both PC and SP. Maybe even hire a private investigator. I think someone needs to be looking into what happened to Somer. The police are taking too long.

I know hes trying to see the kids... legal BS is preventing it, as well as Dr telling him he cant travel until his leg heals

You guys probably found this but I just looked at this today about SP.

It seems he's had cancer. maybe he has some kind of brain tumor. I would get him a MRI and see if he does. Remember the brain tumor and serial killers that I had found last month?

Maybe he can live with a relative while he's in Florida. At this point, I would move next door to them if I could. His kids are in danger.

I agree..

 

[what about this?]

ST seems to be doing what he can given the situation he's in -- he called LE in Texas to have WCG looked into, and now WCG has been pretty much ruled out by everyone.

It is probably best if he does everything through his lawyer - not a great idea to tangle with DT and company at this point.

I do hope he is able to get through to the kids through letters and e-mail.

I read that, but I think I remember it was something about his shoulder--that he thought he had injured his shoulder playing golf or something, but when he went to the doctor they found cancer.

List of FACTS in Somer's case: Version II
Credit for compiling goes to: SharetheLight, Doggies, Dee10, MammaD, and Many Others.

These are facts as reported by media and/or from the MPR. Tried to put links to source where available.

Called this version Part I so when editing time on this post is up, this can be copied and added to and we can call that one Version II and so on.

SOMER
Somer Thompson was 7 years old when she disappeared on October 19, 2009.
Somer was wearing a cranberry jumpsuit (jogging suit?) with a matching top to the bottom and pink satin stripes down the sides of arms and legs, and a black shirt underneath.
Somer's birthday is April 5, 2002.
Somer was not in the habit of wandering off, according to her mom in video (on left, scroll down in video list) Diena Thompson Addresses The Media.
Somer routinely wandered around and nobody knew where she was, according to a babysitter.
Somer wore a red ribbon in her ponytail on October 19.
AB (neighbor) drove Somer to school on October 19 and said it was a normal morning and Somer was her usual self.
Somer went to school (GPE) and left school at regular time (2:32 p.m.).
Somer was walking home with a group of kids that included sister AT and brother AT.
Something happened on the walk home and Somer ran ahead to walk alone.
An AMBER Alert was issued on Tuesday morning. It does not mention the book bag or lunchbox, but mentions her possibly wearing white hat and scarf.
Somer lived with her mom Diena Thompson, her twin brother ST, her older sister AT. (Unsure whether half-brother AC lived with them)
Somer's body was found at Chesser Island Landfill in Folkston, GA. She was tentatively identified by her clothing and a birthmark.
Somer's lunchbox and book bag (see sketches as released by LE and shown on AMW) have not been found. Details first reported on AMW November 7. (Previous reports had not mentioned description of lunchbox; backpack/book bag was described several ways, now believed to be in error, including but not limited to ""black book bag"; "pink black and white backpack with skulls, hearts, and crossbones"; purple HM backpack")

DIENA
Diena and Samuel Thompson are estranged and in the process of divorcing.
Diena has a live-in boyfriend (CPC, who goes by P).
Diena had lunch at her home on October 19 with SAP, a family friend.
Diena asked SAP to wait until the kids got home from school. (from narrative MPR, but what was he to do after that?)
Dena texts SAP around 4 p.m., asking how the kids were; SAP replied that Somer had not come home with the other kids.
Diena leaves work early to search for Somer.
Diena felt something was wrong this time, and this is why she responded quickly to news of Somer not making it home that day.
Diena calls her boyfriend, CPC aka P, at about 4:20 p.m., tells him Somer didn’t come home, and asks him to leave work to help search for her.
Diena stops at OPAA to pick up oldest son AC.
Diena flags down D/S A. Coan at the corner of Floyd Circle West and Gano, and reports Somer missing.

SAMUEL
Samuel lives in North Carolina and has not seen Somer in 2 years.
Samuel came to FL on the Sunday after Somer's disappearance.
Samuel says soot was found on Somer’s body in NG interview). (Later, he recants that statement through relative on WS because the source of this information, his sister LH, is thought to be unreliable.)

SEAN A. P. (SAP)
SAP is a close family friend of family.
SAP had lunch with Diena at her house on October 19.
SAP is asked to wait at house until kids come home from school. (from MPR narrative; not sure what he was to do after they came home)..
SAP had not been asked to do this before. This was his first time.
SAP asks where Somer is when AT and ST arrived around 3:10 p.m.
SAP sent AT to look for Somer. When she returned about 15 minutes later without her, SAP told her to look again real good before he called Diena.
SAP gets text from Diena around 4 p.m. asking how the kids were doing; he texts back that Somer did not come home with the other kids and AT is out looking for her.Diena says she will leave work and come look for Somer.
SAP opened bank account for donations to Somer’s family, and the account is in his name.

C. PERRY C.
CPC is Diena's live-in boyfriend.
CPC gets call about 4:20 p.m. from Diena who tells him Somer didn’t come home; Diena asks him to leave work to help search for her.
CPC leaves work and drives to the Horton Drive home; arrives at about 5 p.m.
CPC picks up ST (twin) at the house about 5 p.m. and goes to search for Somer.

GANO AVENUE HOUSE
This house caught fire months ago and is being restored.
Work crews have been at that house.
VD&B is the contractor working on the house.
Kyle, who works with the contractor, was there on October 19, and said that Somer came in the yard, told him that he/they were doing a good job on the house, and went back the way she came. (Thanks, MammaD!)
Kyle is the last person known to see Somer alive.
There are propane tanks surrounded by a fence about a block the house (toward school).
J., a minor, was riding his bike home when he saw Somer running around near the tanks and that she he thought she was excited but had a frown on her face.
OPAA is a park and sporting fields across the street from the house.
LE searched the house extensively on Thursday and Friday.
The Gano House was proclaimed a crime scene, as was the search area.

OTHER PEOPLE
A female neighbor who asked that her name not be reported, upon hearing of Somer’s disappearance, tells LE to check the vacant house on Gano Avenue and its dumpster. After Somer is found in the landfill, she said she wishes she would have checked it herself.

A (different?) female neighbor, when questioned about the trash pick-up day, made a comment that the trash had already been collected that day so to take that however you want to (weird comment). A member at WS posted that it was the woman who drove Somer to school; that would have been AB. I wasn't sure which video it is at the link provided in the post.

Houses in the vicinity of the Gano house were searched on Tuesday, October 20. The search literally hit home for schools Superintendent Ben Wortham, who lives about 100 yards from the Gano Drive spot where Somer was last seen. About 2 a.m. Tuesday, his house and many others in the vicinity were “searched from top to bottom,” Wortham said.

GARBAGE
Bruce Owens, an officer suggests to the sheriff that all trash trucks should be followed and searched so they can isolate the trash coming out of this area, the trash trucks are then followed. (Later reported that Joe Jett gets credit for this.)
Somer was found dead on October 21 in the Chesser Island Landfill in Fokston, Georgia.
LE followed the trucks to the Chesser Island Landfill.

There is at least one video of an interview with Diena that is blacked out-significant portion of interview is missing at the point where DT is recalling something from the day. (Could this just be because it was raw video and they edited out camera man movement?)

CCSO
LE searched the Gano Avenue house extensively and the men's room at OPAA briefly and came out with a bag.
An autopsy was performed, and LE knows the cause of death, but that have not released that information.
Sheriff reports only one person cleared in the investigation into Somer’s death and that is him.

RSOs
There are 161 RSOs that live within 5 miles of Somer’s home.
CWG’s name and contact info appears on the initial police report (in error as a case of mistaken identity) detailing her disappearance, along with the names of family, neighbors, and others.
The owner of VD&B has a brother who is an RSO. His name is GCV.
Since Somer disappeared many RSO’s have been arrested for failing to update their addresses.

UNRELATED BUT YET, RELATED
What was thought to be an attempted abduction 10 days before Somer's disappearance turned out not to be an attempted abduction and was not related to Somer's disappearance according to LE. Even after LE said there was no connection, reports on blue Nissans poured in to the CCSO.

A police report in the Clay County Daily indicated that 4 burglary suspects were arrested at the Thompson home. LE later said that the address was in error and gave this explanation: An officer who was at the Thompson home was called to an unrelated burglary call and made the arrest of 4 individuals but when he filed his report, he forgot to change the address. If you check the Clay County Daily for 11/21, you will find the correct information now.

CWG's name on the MPR was a result of mistaken identity according to LE.

Might want to add in the information about SAP changing his website. I think that is significant. Thanks for the summary, it is great.

 

[Isabelle]

Where does SAP fit in that he would open an account in his name for Somer's family? This does not compute well.

Wonder if the "brain tumor" caused him to change up his website, when Somer was missing?

 

[sadnpod]

Those picnic tables gave me chills!

The keep talkin about how "nice" this neighborhood is... and there are several creepy areas close by. If Somer went down past those picnic tables pass the skate park and someone was watching, she could have easily been abducted in that area and no one would see or hear it..

I have no basis for this other than wondering...and NO, i dont mean it to be derogatory to the gay community....is there any indication that SP is gay?

 

[ccane]

I am happy to see others willing to share there stories and dont shy awy from difficult topics. Polly Klass, Elisabeth Smart and many others were not at risk children. Us parents now educate the pubic about what kind of people are out there. We as a society cant be victims but a voice for the future. Back the the day people didn't talk about these things.

Now back to Somer I have wondered about the comment that DT made in one interview that she got to bury all of her not just part of her. . I dont know why she said that or what her thought process was to say it ...So It may be uglier then we think

 

[Noway]

He is a good friend of the family/Diena.

Related to this ... sort of ... I'll be updating the list of people (link in signature) later today or tomorrow. Just a few names I thought I'd added but didn't see.
