In one of those news updates this morning, it said that LE has interviewed all the SROs in that area and searched their homes.  I find that kind of hard to believe, in this amount of time.  Unless it went like this:

'A little girl is missing.. have you seen her?  No?  Mind if we check around?  <swift glance from the doorway>  Ok, thanks'.

Good Morning. According to Sheriff's Office, Somer's brother is a twin brother.

From what I understand, he's a twin of her older sister.  All three still in grade school, 5th and below.  Of course, in the early days, much info can be reported wrong.  lol  Yesterday we didn't even know there was a brother, let alone a twin.

Some locals are saying they are glad that different pics of Somer are coming out, evidently with the first one she's changed so much that even locals didn't recognize her.  They really need to LEAD with the most recent pic, for gosh sakes!

Hmmm that's weird!  I took the addresses from the RSO reports.  Maybe it's like rooms over or behind a business? 

Wouldn't be at all surprised to find out they either reported wrong address or a wrong address was put down for them in the RSO registry. 

Some look like the same apts or something, yep.  And two look like they are next door to each other, two across the street from each other, and some down the street neighbors.  Then there's a base about 5 or 6 miles away. 

It's not right, IMO, to have them living SO close to each other.  Altho am sure they would argue that they gotta live somewhere.  Not so sure about that.

Step lightly, there are some vicious family defenders posting!  Posters have already been the route of 'how could they let this little girl walk to school at her age?????'  With the expected 'don't blame the parents routine'.  But they are vicious... eeeeek.

This is so sad, especially with the poss attempted abduction a week and half earlier

Somer's Father Pleads for Everyone to Search

 Gary Detman     Created: 10/20/2009 9:50:32 AM    Updated: 10/20/2009 10:09:23 AM

ORANGE PARK, FL -- The father of Somer Thompson says there is nothing to describe how he feels right now.

"Just imagine it's your child missing," said Sam Thompson in a telephone interview with First Coast News Tuesday morning.

Thompson is asking everyone to do what they can to find Somer, the 7-year-old girl who disappeared while on her way home from Grove Park Elementary school.

"Please find my daughter," Thompson sobbed.

The girl's father is separated from Somer's mother, Diena Thompson, and lives in Graham, North Carolina.

He says his heart plummeted when deputies with the Clay County Sheriff's Office called with the news Monday afternoon. "There's absolutely no way to describe the feeling," said Thompson.

Thompson says he has no idea whether Somer ran off or if someone took her. He just wants her to come home.

"Someone knows where my daughter is, and I just plead with their sense of humanity to let my daughter go."
