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

[Noway]

I noticed this guy got out on bail.

We definitely live in an imperfect world. JMO

 

[Noway]

They have his name wrong in this paragraph so I changed it to a W. Actually, I'm not 100 percent which W name is right. I found info on a different last name ...

W's attorney, Mark Barnett, said the only reason there was on his clients computer was that he heard might be involved in Somer's disappearance, so he downloaded some child , then immediately deleted them. See OOPS! below

"First, they came to him and asked if he knew anything and asked for help," Barnett said.

"Then they met back with him again and was looking on the Internet for stuff and he told them, 'I was looking for stuff,' and police said, 'Maybe there is something on your computer that could help us. Will you turn it over to us?' He said yes."

Barnett told Channel 4's Jim Piggott that W. was actually helping authorities search for Somer.

The indictment shows that the child found on W's computer was downloaded in September, a couple of weeks before Somer disappeared. OOPS!

:waitasec:

He was helping police on the Somer case????
Then, LE arrested him? :snooty: I call BS

 

[Noway]

Unfortunately, he was downloading child in an effort to find a missing girl that didn't go missing until a month later.

snipped:

Clay County deputies said they came across pornographic images on Charlie Watkins' computer during the door-to-door search for Somer, but he is not facing any charges in connection with the girl's disappearance or slaying.

Although investigators said Watkins regularly invited children into his house to use his computer, there are no allegations of any inappropriate behavior with those children. They said Watkins was cooperative during the investigation and they do not believe he was involved in Somer's death.

Barnett said that Walker knew Somer and it is likely she was in his home at some point because, "the grand kids and all of their friends would come over."

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

LE again saying charges are not related to Somer.

Parcel Maps

Google Map of Somer's house and Chestnut Court house

Huh. Well it's probably nothing but one thing I notice is that the car out front of 226 Chestnut is very similar to the car on the google map at 266 Debarry, which if you follow it south is the map that may show Somer walking home (near 1238 Debarry), so that car likely drove past her (on the google map, date unknown of course). Probably a coincidence, just caught my eye.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

OMG - his bail was only $20,000!

my red
They still have two last names in article bot the W you posted (in red) is the right one.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Oh yeah, I just noticed it in the updated article.
Just the part I snipped has both names.

I just can't believe they say he knew Somer and she had most likely been in his home before. WOW

 

[Noway]

In the street view, I noticed the garbage cans that seem to be the "lift with an arm" kind.

yes, but when you make the little man walk down the street, not everybody's are like that.
May be like mine. We do not have the service that has a truck that picks up our cans, but we have the large cans that have the thing for that. We bought those because they are larger and roll easy.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

Anyone have an address on this guy?

 

[Noway]

Are garbage men really able to lift those? I mean if they are filled. If it weren't for the wheels, I'd never get mine to the curb.

Yep, they lift mine.

I don't know whether we can post it ... he's "innocent" as far as Somer's abduction and murder go.

As of now.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Not that I'm minimizing this guys child charges, but if he only has 2 charges, that means they found 2 pictures?

ETA: before you jump on me, lol, again that's still horrible. But, compared to JH, nothing.

 

[Noway]

He is less than 1/4 mile away. About 10 houses or so.

 

[Dr.Fessel]

I find it interesting they were looking at peoples computers right off the bat.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Ok y'all. I'm just thinking outloud here...
this man lives very close to the Thompson house, the man has said he knew Somer, Somer has most likely been in his home, he is found to have child on his computer........and he is charged on 2 picutres and released on bond.

If they do not name a man who admits Somer has been in his home and has child charges a POI but they name JH a POI, IMO they have to have something on him.

So is JH - he has no connection to Somer's murder, not yet.
