FL - Somer Thompson, 7, Orange Park, 19 Oct 2009 #39

I know, it's hard to wait. Must be torture for the families.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Good morning all!

Hope to hear something soon.

Still praying for justice for Somer.

I understand why Jarred is a POI (into child and on Somer's route, known to watch the kids as they walked home) but I have to think if it was him he got Somer out of the neighborhood before 5 p.m.

Because after Diena flagged down the CCSO Andy Coan, thinks started moving pretty fast and other law enforcement was called in to help search for her. I think they were stopping cars that came into/left the area too, weren't they?

I think it's quite possible he took her off the street. I'm sure she knew his face. From when she would go by and he was out washing his car or when she would stop to pet the dog.

I can see a 7 year old getting into a car with someone she thought was a good neighbor or at least not a stranger.
Maybe he fed her an old line of please help me find my dog, or I'll bring you home so you don't have to walk.
At 7 and being familiar with his face, I can see maybe her getting into his car.

I originally thought she went into his yard, and I guess she could have.
But, I can see him getting her into the car and out of the neighborhood pretty quickly.

My guess is that he would have wanted to get her in the house. With his penchant for pictures I think he would have wanted to take some and an empty house seems to me like the safest place for him to do whatever evil thing he had in mind. An hour could have been long enough for him. If he killed her by accident or to keep her from yelling he may have wanted to get rid of the body right away. The whole thing could have happened relatively quickly, if he was the perp.

I agree.
That's kinda what I thought too.

Just thinking about where the dogs stopped and the short time frame, a car could have been used. Although, I'm not so sure the dogs stopping at the corner of Gano and Debarry really means much since the trainer said they could have been tracking Somer's scent from up to a week prior.

Bump, bump... I keep losing the thread!

The other thing about the dog is that it was ONE of however many that were there. We don't know whether the other dogs followed the scent further or elsewhere.

Did Jarred no longer have contact with the child he allegedly posed in the video? Why did he need to take a child off the street?

BBM, I think that was found out about before Oct. 19th.
The reason I think this is because of the police report about JH that the ex room mates said they were looking at JH's computer to see if he had
anything on there showing his **********.

Bump.......bump bump........... I think the crossing guard might not have noticed Somer - possibly he was thinking of something or watching something as she walked by. Maybe he didn't get his hug because Somer didn't feel like giving a hug that day. So it is very possible she did pass this crossing guard.

I agree. There is no way a cross guard can see and take a mental note of every kid who comes through. He/She would have to have a pretty good memory to do that IMO. Or keep some kind of roll. I've never seen a cross guard take a roll.

He may not remember her coming through, but I agree that she may have.

I wonder if his mom suspected or knew what was gonna on with the child he molested, and thats why she wanted him out of the house.



Somer sweety, we are all still thinking of you and praying for justice. You will never be forgotten little sunshine.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I think JH's Mom knew about it too. I've also thought that could be the reason for the sudden move and renting when you own a home.
They may have thought it was best to get the heck out of there.
Why JH would stay behind, I have no idea. Maybe he refused to go with them at first, then after Somer, he decided, yep, I need to go.

I think you are right on the money. If he is the perp, the scenerio you describe is exactly the one that I envision as well. I think that poor child never left that block alive. Period. I think the empty house made the perfect location. She could easily be lured by a familiar, neighborhood face, particulary if he claimed his dog had gotten away and run over onto that property. I think she would not have known him to the point of feeling comfortable getting into a car with him but would certainly have seen no danger or risk in helping him look around the empty house property for a dog she had petted in the past and was familiar with.

Once around the back of the property it would have been a simple matter to subdue her and drag her into the place for his "entertainment". She was killed either in an attempt to silence her, or after the assualt when he realized she would know right where to lead LE should he let her go alive. I would not have expected there to have been anything for neighbors to see or hear at that point. Unfortunately it is not dificult for a grown man to subdue/silence a small child.

I wonder if after finding Somer's body, LE went through the area with cadaver dogs. I don't remember seeing anything about that. Of course, on Thursday and Friday, all eyes were on the 1080 house.

A man who lives near Somer on Chestnut Court was arrested on child charges.

LE again saying charges are not related to Somer.

See, this makes me even more sure that they have something on JH that is connected to Somer.

JH was named a POI. This guy has not been.

ETA: And this guy is already out on bail.

 

[Dee10]

I noticed this guy got out on bail.

 

[eyes4crime]

I noticed this guy got out on bail.

JH has a molestation charge from his 'hands on' production of chid . That may be the difference. moo

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Yeah, from reading the article, this guy had no where near what JH had.
