7-year-old, Somer Thompson's body has been found, just 2 days after her disappearance while walking home from school. Although police have yet to officially state whether or not it was her body, they believe that it definitely is.
Reports state that Thompson's body was found in a landfill located in Folkston, Georgia, near her disappearance point. Searchers had to dig through around 100 tons of garbage to find her, but finally did.
Currently, this tragic case is just opening up. Police do not have evidence, nor do they have suspects. At this point, they sadly have Somer Thompson's body, but nothing else to go on. Hopefully, forensic evidence will uncover the horrible truth about her death. Although the found body of the young girl is tragic, it will hopefully help to bring justice upon her killer.
70 sex offenders who live within 5 miles of Somer's disappearance were interviewed, but no information about these interviews have been released to the public.
WPTV reports that Thompson's parents have been notified.
Again, NO SUSPECTS and NO LEADS yet. If you have any information, you're asked to call the Orange Park, Florida Police Department.
If I had to guess, this crime wasn't a random act. Somer Thompson was sadly a victim of what seems to occur a lot in this world. Her being found so soon however, will likely bring justice to the sick individual responsible.
At her age, I am curious to know why an adult or another individual was not walking home with her. I assume this, otherwise she wouldn't have been taken, right?
However, it's truly not time to point fingers. I do think that it's important that if you do have young children, to ALWAYS BE AWARE, and ALWAYS BE WITH THEM, no matter how safe you think your neighborhood is.
Just because there AREN'T CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERS in your area, it doesn't mean there aren't NON COVICTED OFFENDERS.
Again, Somer Thompson's body has been found, but police have not positively identified it as her body. However, they're most certain that it is her.
May she rest in peace, and may her parents and those who knew her be with god in this time of need.
