One more thing I would like to like back at on here.
The clothes closet.. what are the hours of operation? who works there? and can someone help me with a map

Since it was getting close to halloween and I think there was a pumpkin on the steps at DT house already and Somer wanting to be a go go dancer .. could she have went to the clothes place to look for a outfit to wear after school?

For what it's worth, I have a list of my son's friends (parents, address, phone and brief description) but it's not because he tends to wander off. Have a list of neighbors too. (LMAO ... does that surprise anyone?)

I just keep it handy so it's available to whoever is watching them (mostly family). Now, if he did tend to wander off, it would be handy.

The difference being that you have used preventative measures to ensure if anything happened you'd have resources...

...but you say he did not wander off. So your list is not the same. The list provided by DT was BECAUSE Somer REGULARLY WANDERED OFF.

 

[what about this?]

Amen.

Maybe on that day.

O/T

OK, WARNING....I have taken my sleep meds again and logged on - so get ready. Pay no attention to anything I post later, because I am not in my right mind when I get sleepy.

No. The clothes closet is a place where poor people, maybe only children, but I don't know, that go and get clothes.

We have one here in an elementary school. You have to be referred there. At ours, you get an appointment. Children only. There are other places where you can buy clothes such as Good will and Salvation Army. They also have a free clothes place in a different location where poor people can get work clothes.

This was discussed way back, and the hours were listed. Something in the AM only. Staffed by volunteers. Ours is mainly retired teachers, social workers, that type.

Don't know about that one.

Ours mainly gets new clothes donated from stores and some nice used clothes.

I do think that if she had been supervised while walking home....this would have never happened to her....

I'm not sure I can go that far.

I'll agree that if she had been supervised while walking home, this would not have happened to her while walking home.

But (assuming what neighbors say is true) neighbors say she was out on her scooter ... always looking for someone to play with ... and they don't mention that an adult was with her. If she was out in the neighborhood a lot, I think someone knew her ways and took advantage of that.

 

[what about this?]

My earlier point exactly. One would think that if LE found an adult waiting at the house, this would look good. It would at least appear that DT was trying to have some supervision there. Why would she go to the trouble of saying he had never done that before.

One more thing, then good night.

I went all the way back to the first thread on this case. Straight away - when she was missing and not found - reporters had identified SP as the boyfriend, then a friend who lived at the home. I went all the way to 18 or 19 and CPC had not even been mentioned yet. People were generally discussing two issues: Was it a RSO or what is up with the SP guy being at the house. In one of the earliest threads they are discussing why did he not go pick up the kids or at least go looking himself. As things move along and Somer is found dead, people grieve terribly for DT. Soon posters come on saying she seemed hinky. Remember, this was when she had JUST been found and the pain was raw. Way before all of the other discussions up to now. So I still say: go back to the basics. What does not seem right?

Thank you.

Oh the clothes closet.....you have to be referred to get in there....I did stop and donate....they took the clothes from me at the door...it is not open to public, just referral, at least this is my opinion on it.....gypsy blue, I think is who it was, found out that some one associated with the clothes closet also has some kind of connection to the 1080 Gano home....creepy huh?? I have a pic of the hours of operation....will post it for you....

Is this in relation to wondering what AB's son's name is?

No hounds, it came from hearing strangers just chatting about somers death at the bar at olive garden. One man said he was roofing the day before somer was killed and that he knew vinsons brother and how all the speculation has effected his life. (oh waaah) But then he said he heard the family owed a lot of money for drugs, specifically cocaine. and somers death was to repay that debt.

I thought he was full of carp and just running his mouth. But it still made me wonder what logic drove him or anyone to think this. NO TRUTH TO WHAT HE SAID IMO... This is pure nasty rumor from what appeared to be someone who had first hand knowledge of the drug world. I didnt want to repeat it for that reason... so please NO ONE think I am implying anything here. I AM NOT!!!

I don't think we know that for sure.

There was a list and it was used WHEN she wandered off (according to sitter) but we don't know why it was created. Because I think Diena never has mentioned the list and it's use, has she?

Maybe that is splitting hairs, but if my son started wandering off and not coming home when he was expected, then my list would become a list of friends to call ...

 

[pinamia]

So could be relative but no proof he is her son?

There are 35 people with that last name of the woman who drove Somer and siblings to school in Orange Park area according to www.qwestdex.com. There are 77 in the Orange Park area for those with the same last name as the uncle of Somer's friend M. And SM (or SMcI ?) ... while I was able to find address for him under his name, couldn't find any address for MB or JC in Orange Park area.

Because of you I went looking for AB husband and guess what he's got a DWI in 2001. I wonder where he was before 2001.

He's JFB and lived next door to Somer.

This made me wonder if she ever left her house AFTER she got home from school and roamed the neighborhood. With no adult there to be in charge, this could have very well happened. If so, she was not only in danger while walking home alone, but after she got home as well.

Noway, just to be fair here.....I do think that far more people have said that Somer did wander, and come home late often, compared to DT saying she NEVER did this...MO

When my son was young, he would come home from school, do his homework, eat a snack & go outside to play. He would go around the neighborhood to see who could play...... I think that's typical for a child, don't you?

night all....blessings.....
