Sheriff Rick Beasler said it is routine for Investigators to check garbage routes in a missing persons investigation, and the FBI is on the scene, which has been undisturbed, recovering the child.

    I am sooooo sad!! Prayers to Somer’s family

  2. Teri says:

    Unimaginable.

    That poor family – and that precious little girl…she must have been so frightened.

    I can barely let my mind even think about.

    God bless you, sweet child – and hold you in the palm of His Hand.

  3. it's my life says:

    how horribly tragic …. however, this family will at least have their child back. Cold comfort I’m sure.

  4. suz says:

    Oh no, that is not the outcome anyone was hoping for. That is so terribly sad. I hope to God they catch these monsters quickly. Her poor family. It’s beyond words.

  5. Gypsy DD says:

    Prayers to Somers family and her twin. One can only imagine the heartbreak and anquish running through their souls right now.

  6. drewatx says:

    This is truly so sad.. my prayers go out to the family and may justice be served…

  7. hk says:

    That poor family.

    I never realized how much of this is out there until I had children of my own. It is unimagineable.

  8. melissa says:

    God bless you little one. You didn’t deserve this, no one does. Someone please let the other children know it’s not their fault. No matter why she ran ahead it was probably inevitable. Some evil creature just chose her that day. I hope they burn in hell or in Old Sparky!

  9. OnASeriousNote says:

    I’ll be praying for the siblings…

  10. VeLoWoodson says:

    Oh my God.

    Rest in peace Somer. You poor little baby.

    My prayers are with her family.

  11. sandyeggo says:

    I am so devastated to read this. I have been following the case since yesterday and was very hopeful she’d be found alive and well. I feel so sad for her, her family, and especially her twin brother and other siblings. This is the most awful news all day. I pray that they can find the evil person that did this to little Somer. :(

  12. susie says:

    My heart is so broken right now. I lift all my prayers up to the family.

  13. Kim says:

    When will our judicial system change? Make these monster’s who take children face stiffer penalties. If a preditor takes and murders a child, he or she should be given the death penalty. If someone is already serving time for harming a child, DO NOT LET THEM OUT ON PAROLE. They will offend again! Something has got to stop this war on our innocent. Totally unacceptable a child cannot walk home from school in a group of kids and not be safe. This monster must have been watching her for some time and decided he or she needed her more than her family. Such a tragedy, this poor family. I pray they find peace and the siblings do not hold themselves or each other responsible. The only one to blame here is the monster who took her. May Somer rest in peace and dance with the angels…Thank you.

  14. Gavriella says:

    This is more than devastating, as I have heard that it was not Somer who was found but a young boy. I’m trying to clarify, now. The report initially said it was the body of a female, but later changed it to a boy. They did find a boy’s body, from what I understand, in the landfill. If anyone knows anymore, please …

    Gavi-devastated.

  15. PookyBear says:

    I am so sad. There seems to be so much ugliness in this world. May God wrap his arms around this family.

    ORANGE PARK, Fla. (Oct. 21) – Authorities searching for a missing 7-year-old north Florida girl said they found the body of a young child in a Georgia landfill Wednesday, but it has not yet been identified.
    Clay County, Fla., Sheriff Rick Beseler first said the body was a female, but then corrected himself and said he couldn’t yet confirm the gender. The parents of Somer Thompson, who has been missing since Monday, have been notified.

    God Speed Little One.

    On a side note. Last night I was watching Nancy Grace and they were talking to the Grandmother and she was so visibley upset, crying, could hardly breathe and my mind went to how Casey acted over Caylee. This is how someone should behave when this tragedy happens, unlike the party girl did.

  18. Gavriella says:

    Okay, from local police communication, it is a girl. They’re not sure it’s Somer, but think so.
    From an inside source, it is her.

    How do we keep our children safe anymore??? My heart is with this mother, grandmother and siblings.

    Please let this child abuse stop!

  20. LuckyLou says:

    Blink, Why does this always seem to be in Florida? What is wrong here. So upsetting about Somer – what a cute little girl.

  21. boz says:

    I want to say something right now. I am so mad I can’t believe it. First, I am so embarrased to be a man in Florida. What is going on? I don’t understand this. Second, it has never crossed my mind to hurt a child, let alone rape or kill a child. If it HAS EVER CROSSED YOUR MIND, get HELP. If the thought has gone through your head, GET HELP. YOU ARE SICK! PLEASE, PLEASE GET HELP. The THOUGHT alone of abusing, raping or killing a child makes you MENTALLY ILL.

    Boz-
    this “disease” they have, imo, is incurable and not rehabilitative. The only protection is education to parents and children.
    And, imo, a one stike policy.

    how is it that a life is so carelessly tossed? ?

  23. Gavriella says:

    Blink — the birthmark?

  24. Gavriella says:

    Puking sick.

  25. Gavriella says:

    I don’t think I can even think about Casey Anthony right now.

  26. Gavriella says:

    What can we do Blink? This is one of those moments when you feel that you just have to do something, but all you have is your prayers to offer. I feel so helpless in the face of her family’s suffering. And you’re right Cindee. Heaven forbid but I wonder if the Anthony’s ever suffered so.

    Run a search on the sex offenders in your area. Give it to people with kids you think are clueless to it’s existance. Offer if able, to carpool kids that are too close to bus, but too young to walk, or organize a parent committee to take turns.

    Our babies are at risk, I dont care where you live. ( collective thought)

    Somer has her angel wings now. God Bless

  28. gngrsnap says:

    odd- three little girls missing/murdered all with birthmarks?
    Caylee -shoulder
    Haleigh- face and back
    Somer- leg
    guess birthmarks are more common than I realized.hmm

    I will be praying for this family as well. So SAD!

  29. Gavriella says:

    Delete if you think it would be appropriate to do so, Blink.

    My prayers and thoughts go out to the Thompson family this evening. Gut wrenching anger has befallen me. Why Why WHy?

    May flights of Angels take you to your eternal rest with God Somer.

  31. Gavriella says:

    #20 Absolutely, Blink.

  32. Gavriella says:

    #20. I am so sorry to keep posting, but I do want to address boz. Please, please, Boz, don’t be downing yourself! So, you’re a man. Women commit these heinous acts, as well! Look where Caylee is, and who knows about Haleigh, and so many others murdered by their own mothers! And if you want to assume rape, well then let’s do! Look at the myriad of middle school teachers (female) who’ve lured hormonal 13 year old boys into their bedrooms! This isn’t a gender thing! It’s sheer insanity! We are losing our moral fiber. We have devalued our children and I don’t give a hoots butt who agrees or doesn’t!

    This is not your fault nor the fault of your gender, and I’ll bet that just in being you, for all of your strengths and passion, you prove that each and everyday.

  33. hk says:

    I agree – one strike. There is no reason for offenders to be given a second chance. They need to be removed from population.

    I don’t understand what that will take. It seems either law makers don’t care because it’s not happening in their neighborhoods or you find out that they are guilty as well.

    We have got a find a to protect our children and stop the cycle.

  34. boz says:

    blink: My soul is tortured. I am putting my 92 year old mother in a nursing home as we type. My siblings have made my life insugnificant(sp). I have older siblings who have committed suicide, older siblings who have sexually abused there own children. I am the youngest of the lot and the sole responsibility for my my mother. Wrong! I never had children but should have had many. I have witnessed the Anthony’s at young girls high school sporting events and am disgusted. I’m sorry. Like I said, I’m devestated by yet another young child being killed (and probably raped) in our state.

    I know, please find your faith, or ability to endure until then.

    Peace and God Bless

  35. Janice says:

    Auh! Is there a war on our children? We must educate and keep reminding of the safety issues to protect our children. STOP HARMING OUR CHILDREN OR WE WILL BE LIKE SPECIAL FORCES – YOU WILL BE HUNTED,FOUND AND PUNISHED FOR HARM BROUGHT OUR CHILDREN.

  36. boz says:

    Until then…………I respect you but when is that? Thanks Blink.

    If marinadedave is pro Anthony what does it say about him being singdled out by Judge Stan?

    I do not believe Dave is pro Anthony, he posted his thoughts on here about that and I take the man at his word.

    This is a heartbreaking tragedy. Blink is so right…we must look at the information available to us in our states, cities, neighborhoods to know where people who have past records may live. As the grandmother of two beautiful granddaughters eight and four I constantly remind my daughter and son in law of these incidents. Many times we just do not think it will happen in our area or to our family…but no matter the walk of life…this is real and it is happening far too often. Even my own kids look at me with that little roll of the eye that says…mom you worry too much. In these days, friends, the world continues to harbor many deviants and unknowns and it is very sad that we can no longer let our kids ride bikes in their own neighborhoods. As parents and grandparents we must educate our kids about not going up to cars or listening to strangers who offer treats, etc. And we must tell them many times to get their attention. Then we also have the problem of the people in jobs of responsibilities to children abusing them. Teachers with young students, scout leaders with young scouts, church leaders….unreal that this type of behavior crosses all social circles and all walks of life. We have had programs for years in education that we utilize to teach character. One of the sections addresses innappropriate touching, etc. Sounds like too much sometimes to try to impart to a five or six year old child, but if done the right way may save even one from this type of abuse. I pray for this family to feel the hand of God on their shoulders this very minute.

    BOZ – I am so sorry for what you are going through, and what you have been through. I don’t know if I’m allowed to leave an email address here, as it sounds like you need someone to talk to. I’ll wait to hear from blink (or someone who knows) regarding leaving my email. I have felt sick since hearing of this beautiful little girl, Somer. Know that you’re not alone Boz. Love, J

  39. columbiares says:

    :( argggg…….my heart goes out to her family and friends. I’m so sick of these predators preying on our children. Pick on someone your own size. You cowardly sons of b…..

    Sweet baby…may you rest in the arms of Jesus.

  40. Al Miller says:

    Sickness! I just can NOT get my brain around this! All I can do to cope with hearing this is to focus on the legal side of avenging this horrific crime which is why I love this site. It shows me what is being done to catch these pitiful freaks. Are there any suspects? Evidence?

    Yes and Yes, but nobody is talking right now. As of last evening the scene was not finished being processed.

    Im devastated. God bless his new angel.

    Wondering if they will find the person who did this quickly, with them finding her lil body in a huge landfill, I am certain they will find evidence in the trash of the area in which she was dumped in, and that should hopefully narrow the search…

    God be with her family at this sad time, let justice prevail, parents hold your babies close…my heart is breaking for these innocent little children, I will never understand this kind of crime EVER!

  46. dddeerma says:

    While the police chief is being dismissive of an attempted abduction in the same area a week or so earlier, is there any effort to find those predators? It seems too coincidental. This little girl got careless for about 15 minutes and ends up dead. It is a lot to ask a 7 year old, to be careful every single minute.

    My heart breaks for this family, but we agree. Why dont people understand that children in these situations are easy targets for predators?

  47. chitown lady says:

    Oh my god Blink. What and the hell is going on in Flordia? It seems to becoming the kid killer Capital of the US. The kiddie offenders CAN NOT be rehabilitate these animals. How many more little children need to die at the hands of these animals. your right when you said its all over our country. But so some reason, Fl seems to be an attraction for them. They need to put these animals on a deserted island and let then fend for themselves. Stop the pussyfooting with them. THEY CAN’T BE SAVED. When is our criminal system gonna wake the hell up and realize what we seem to know. Maybe we need to have open season on sex offenders. Parents, please check out your area and know where the predators are PLEASE! you will be very surprised just where and how close they are to your children. I actually found 2 living with in 2 blocks of my home. I printed out his picture and posted it on EVERY street light post, mail box etc. And please keep in mind that these animals were living only 1 -2 blocks from 2 grade schools. Gee, he ended up moving……The people that are suppose to watch these animlas DON’T. They NEVER should have been allowed to live that close to a school let alone 2 schools.
    KNOW WHO YOUR NEIGHBORS REALLY ARE! These are our kids. PROTECT THEM. For no one else will ……

    BOZ: my heart goes out to you as well. you have been dealt a very hard blow. Seek help if you need it please. We are here for yeah. I know talk is cheap, but sometimes its a vent for us…Good speed….Take care of you…..you do matter!

    My heart and prayers go out to this family. God bless this child. Gone to soon. Bless her always and keep her at your side.

    God Blink, God help our kids…….

    Please read this Boz. I hope you take some time today to focus on your own healing. God Bless.

  48. dee says:

    Ms. Blink,

    already sleuthing this one and I am puzzled (not a surprise) if I am not mistaken the child was taken in Florida found in Georgia, do you or anyone else know how or why the LE knew to check a landfill in a totally different state. I understand it was only 55 miles away but was there some kind of tip that led them there?

    thanks!

  49. melissa says:

    I don’t understand something, in my NW FL area school bus drivers will not let a child off the bus without an adult resposible for one that young, even if there are siblings, they just don’t do that here.

    Msg. to Boz-I take care of the elderly and let me tell you something, what you have been doing for your Mother is the greatest gift a child can give back to their parent. You can’t manage it anymore and your sibling are worthless, I see it all the time. Your Mom knows what you have done for her, don’t worry! Place her in a good facility, keep a close eye on her and take some you time and see a counselor for all that is bugging you. I’m sure guilt is one of those feelings that need working through. I promise it will help you understand things and lift some the weight off your shoulders. Remember this one thing…YOU are not like those that have made you feel insignificant. Much luck and God Bless Boz. Hug your Mom for me!
