[Rhyme & Reason]

I give up on the media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell up from down anymore.

It is an alert from 10/21.

I am fairly certain the second guy listed is in compliance now. That is just wrong to keep putting out old/bad info.

Was there anything added that is newer than the 10/21 news we already knew about? If nothing else they should have taken that second guy off. And really CWG is no longer listed as absconded, correct??

It's no wonder this case can't go anywhere. The media can't ask the right questions, and focus.

ITA! Today's front page takes me to an old article?

 

[SharetheLight]

HS is also on the alert, yes. And from what I understand he is the only one LE hasn't heard from.

 

[SharetheLight]

Meeks is in compliance as of 11-30-09 (which is today) but the last time I looked he was in compliance.

I really think I am going crazy.

ETA: I just found my post dated 11-23-09 that says this:

OK, so as of 10/21 it appears that all RSO's were contacted except these fellows.
Graham
Meeks
Spires

If we believe LE then, Graham was accounted for on 10/23.
The RSO website has updated info on Meeks 10/28/09-he's in Jacksonville

However Spires is still listed absconded.

So I am not totally crazy. Evidently there was an update on meeks 10/28 which brought him into compliance.

http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/offenderSearchNav.do

according to this it still lists cwg as compliant as of 10-23

I just can't believe how these perps are smiling in their pics when they get arrested!

This CWG thing is so crazy!

 

[Rhyme & Reason]

That was on today's front page?? When I clicked on the link you provided it took me to an article dated 10-21-09.

ETA: thank you for the info.
it's not you who's causing me confusion. It's the media.
the Media makes me a bit crazy. What is going on down there?

Here is the link to the home page, scroll about half way down & there is CWG & it's actually titled predator alert!

This CWG thing is so crazy!

I guess it's just this news site printing old information? Like they needed a filler story & didn't bother checking the facts before printing it?

 

[SharetheLight]

I see it. Just don't understand it

 

[SharetheLight]

Why doesn't the media get out there and chase down some real clues. New clues. Something useful!!
Pleeeeeaaaaasssssseeee!!!!!!

 

[sadnpod]

He is also on the offender alert I posted, correct? Third one down.

yes maam. Thats the one. I think he is the only one on there that is still absconded.

 

[Chili Fries]

I guess it's just this news site printing old information? Like they needed a filler story & didn't bother checking the facts before printing it?

Seems to me like the predator alert is just an ongoing feature of their homepage and the October 21 alert still occupies that spot because there hasn't been another alert since then.

 

[sadnpod]

I dont think they even know if these RSO's are where they are suppose to be unless a kid is taken, raped or murdered within a 5 mile radius of their "registered" address.

Pleeeeeaaaaasssssseeee!!!!!!

It would be nice.. wonder if they follow ws? NG is also ticking me off... like Tiger Woods is as important as Somer.. give me a break.:banghead::furious:

Does anybody know who the kid is on this video, left side, black sleeveless t-shirt around the 4:45 mark? Just watch him..............I couldn't stop watching him! He made my heart pound!! KWIM?

Oh, thank you thank you thank you!!!! I spent HOURS last night looking for this exact video. There is someone else on here that I wanted to ask my fellow sleuths to look at with me. At the 2:23 mark, there is an LE to our left. Does that seem to be a scratch on his right arm (left from our perspective)?

Someone brought up last thread about the possibility of the perp being an LE person. I hope not with all my heart. But that brought this pix to my mind. What do you all think? Does anyone know this man?

Answer from Pinamia: The woman to his left looks similar to me as woman who drove Somer to school that morning. Maybe that's an older son of her's or nephew. Really interesting.




Anyone there? Looks like there are only three of us logged in right now.

Infinity, I'm not trying to take anything away from your observation. If we know for sure this young man is a son or nephew of neighbor AB, does anyone know his name, or what kind and color of car he drives? Infinity, did he look like the young man from your vision?

What makes you not take eyes off Infinity? He does seem to be out of his element so to speak.. looks very uncomfortable.. He must be very hot blooded to have hardly any clothes on.. everyone else in long sleeves , coats, sweats.

I got this feeling about a blonde guy in the photos of the city workers wedding. He was covering his face in every picture that was taken of the guests in chairs.

I have just been waiting patiently for LE to come out with an arrest or suspect....... please I Pray let it be soon...

I'm going to type something here that will probably not be well received, but I have to get it off my fingertips. I think back to all the horrible tragedies like Samantha Runyon, Jessica Lunsford, Polly Klass, Sandra Cantu... these innocent children were killed through no fault of their own or their parents. Why must we pick apart Diena's past & current friends/lifestyle? Because the Sheriff makes a statement that no one has been cleared except for him? We discuss her lack of tears, etc... we talk about how she let the kids walk home from school... we talk about her quitting her job... we talk about all of the money she's receiving from fundraisers... we talk about everything she's doing that is wrong. Have we talked about anything she's done right? She obviously loves her children, otherwise she wouldn't have been working to support them. She would be receiving assistance from the state in the form of welfare, or she could have relinquished her parental rights & given the kids to ST and let him raise them, but she didn't. I'm sure she did the best she could with what she had. So what if it's her parent's home... isn't that what family is for? To help one another? So she has/had a live in boyfriend; that seems to be the norm this day and age. Until there is evidence that someone in her circle of friends is responsible for the death of Somer, I think we're spinning our wheels and getting nowhere. When I lost a family member not too long ago who was in my immediate family, I could not cry. I was so devestated by the loss but could not cry-I was in shock & denial. I too wondered if I had told this person I loved them and to this day carry guilt because I didn't let them know how much they meant to me & spent time with them when I could have. That's just the way it is; life and living got in the way. Family flew in for the funeral - family I had not seen for years. They did everything within their power to try and ease my sorrow and yes, there were times I laughed and felt guilty for doing so. How could I laugh when I just lost one of the most important people in my life? But I did... thank goodness I wasn't in the public spotlight during this period in my life, because I know I would have been portrayed as a horrible person - which I'm not. It's just me and how I handled the loss of my beloved. If you were to sleuth me and my past, well let's just say a lot of people in my life today would be shocked... I was young & stupid. I am older and wiser now and feel my past has helped to shape me into the person I am today...a productive citizen, with a family and a profession. Now that I've opened up that wound in my heart again from the loss of my loved one, I think I'll do some house cleaning to clear my tears and my head, while I ask forgiveness from the Man upstairs for bashing Diena during the lowest point in her life.

My Friend Chee you have said a mouthful girl.. way to go.... I am hanging my head in shame for the little I did say about the mother.. I really tried hard not to bash her or the father's..

I would never want to have to walk a block in their shoes ..ever ... I even as a grand parent would probably go mad feeling guilty..

I don't agree with a lot of what has happened but that is my choice just like it is DT or anyone else's choice..

I have to say this board has been like my mother and father's divorce years ago when I was 12.. I either had to side with my mother or she would get mad or had to side with father or he would get mad....

I hated this time of my life and I hated to see this on this board... it was exactly like this too.. this is why I didn't post on certain topic's.. just a no win situation.. never is .... and so many get hurt ...

Thank you Dear Friend Chee for voicing such a great post..

This was the main reason I stopped coming checking her for the most part. Seemed more people wanted to sit and make an opinion on someone based on maybe an hour of video, some funeral pictures and a myspace page instead of focusing on who killed Somer.

Just a news flash for everyone here with all the answers on after school care, and state assistance and how they'd sacrifice to be home with their kids after school:

DT likely made too much to receive either substantial after school care to the point where it'd be affordable. Not to mention the hoops you have to go through in the state to get any kind of benefits is retarded. My son has diabetes and we managed to get him on Florida KidCare.....a year after calling 3 times a day, sending in multiple applications, and going weekly down in person to speak to people. They finally came through about 2 weeks before we would've lost our home trying to cover insulin/supplies ect. If she ran into similiar issues with after school care, where no one returned her phone call, or she was told she wasn't qualified, I could see why she didn't take advantage of it.

My wife and I make around 60k a year. That's paycheck to paycheck nowadays and that's with my student loans sitting in forebearance for the past 3 years. And these are the good times as far as we're concerned.

I remember when our kids were the twin's age. I stayed home and worked nights just to be here for them to go to and from school. I also was there when they'd be crying because they couldn't have a snack after school because we'd run out midweek, or they'd be eating hamburger helper for the 10th time in a row for dinner.

The chances of your kid being snatched while you're working is low enough that I don't blame or criticize parents for doing so.

Her lifestyle isn't directly going out and killing children. Her lifestyle wasn't in a parking lot a mile away from where Somer was taken a week ago trying to lure a child out getting mail into his car. Her lifestyle isn't running around throwing a body into a dumpster. Because her lifestyle isn't going any of that, I could care less about it. I'm all for checking out people that lifestyle brought around her children. I can see that as relevant, but I don't see how DT was dressed at the funeral, or whether she smoked some weed at a party pertains directly to who killed a 7 year old girl.

Shadowizer I was just thinking of you night before last.. Now I know.. Nice to know you are well tho..

I understand your feelings completely ....

Hope to see more of you..


I don't know if I was right in doing so or not, but my children don't seem to be damaged by it .. but we are an open family and when I watched a show long time ago like dr phil or someone a quest speaker told that for children to be able to tell parents what they have done wrong and not feel like its unheard of by others .. is to share with your child your wrong doings as a child.. like if you stole a piece of bubble gum and got in trouble .. tell and share this with your child.. if you broke an object in your house and tried to fix it your self to use that .. it tells the child you are not a saint and were a kid once too.

I started using that when my children were gosh 4 and 3... I feel it has helped in my children anyway to feel they could tell us anything.. And, let me tell you esp. my son does... lol daughter is more reserved but she is open .. just real modest.. could never tell she is my daughter.. lol

marriage and being around adults more she has blossomed some.. she never has smoked , drank, drugs... doesn't hardly cuss.. but is not a church goer every sunday either..

our son is a blast thats all I can say about him.. lol I am very proud of both my children ..


ETA: Sorry I rambled on ... even a scary story of one getting almost abducted or abused might save 1 child. hopefully all ......

December is here and still no word.

I know I get carried away with my sleuthing...say and think things I probably shouldn't. Maybe we all need a reminder of just why we come here everyday, I know I do.

I decided to light a candle for Somer, my way of keeping focused. You all can join me if you'd like.

Justice for Somer

Somer,
Someone remembers, someone cares;
Your name is whispered in someone’s prayers.

New month. Just an inkling of snow on the ground this morning (and they call this Canada).

I am no longer sleuthing RSO's. LE ruled them out within 2 days. I don't believe Somer was sexually assaulted.

I do believe she knew the person that did this too her though.
