on HLN...
Pat Brown the profiler feels that whoever did this lives in the area....

You know what the Kyle comment sounds like to me? Melissa Huckaby's phone call to the tracy press to explain the suitcase Sandra was found in. She obviously did that to explain why Sandra would be or was found in her suitcase...
Maybe this kyle person is trying to explain why they will find evidence of Somer being there.
 I wonder if she often stopped by there to say hi or see what they were doing? Maybe they had a dog with them that attracted her? Seems strange she would just all of a sudden think to go up to the door and say they are doing a good job. Why would a 7 year old little girl do that?   

yep...something strange about Kyle if you ask me..

ok something stinks. Why would a person from OP or Jax, call the news guy from Orlando to tell him he was the last person to see Somer alive? Why would he not just make the local call to the local stations covering the story? Also, I don't believe that there was an armed robbery attempt at 1706 Horton. I know some criminals are stupid, but there were a minimum of 3 cop cars there 24x7. If you look at the bulletin, 901 N Orange avenue comes up every single day. I have no idea why it is listed. Could be that is where the officer was dispatched from, but there is no way there was an attempted robbery there.

My guess, and it is just a guess ...

...is that the 4 were arrested at that address. Not that a crime was committed there.

I suspect we'll hear more about this shortly. The four are in jail with No bond, under "Pre-Trial" status.

About the "Kyle" calling a reporter and stating he was the last to see her alive ... my guess is he was trying to explain why he was there. Very fishy to me. If that makes sense.

I know some people have questioned whether renovation at 1080 Gano Avenue was going on Monday, when Somer went missing.

Apparently, it was.

A "Kyle" phoned Ryan Hughes of Channel 9 and claimed to be the last person to have seen Somer. (Technically, though, the last person would have been her murderer, IMO ... but I digress.) He said he was at the home on Monday afternoon and Somer ran up to the house and told workers they were doing a good job.

The reporter went on to say that LE had questioned "Kyle" and his "colleague" George Vinson. (George is the RSO brother of the construction company doing the renovations on the house.)

Further into the report, it says that Vinson's sister said George was "never a suspect and he passed a poly" conducted by Clay County LE. (Does LE tell people they "pass" or "fail"?)

Also mentioned in the report is the sad fact that the Georgia ME will not release the body in time for the services Monday and Tuesday.

Video is from Friday night's 11 PM newscast.

I sure wish we knew more about this "Kyle" person. And where he saw her go after she ran up to the house and spoke to them.  If George is his "colleague" then it sounds like they were both part of the renovation crew or at least worked together somewhere.

I don't think we have discussed this yet.

Bump*

does anyone think it is strange that a little 7 year old would even notice work being done to a house that on the outside seem ok, we saw pics right? Again, I wonder if she has wondered by before. It is said she didn't know a stranger, would talk to anyone, would be outside on her scooter.

I think it's really strange to me for a kid that age to notice home renovations, especially because I was under the impression they would have been on the inside. Either way to me it's odd.......

We thought about that as well, but the event lookup for Clay county specifically states armed robbery "at 1706 Horton"

What I think might be possible, is that this incident may have only been reported as a result of Somer going missing in that Diena felt it relevant, and then they were arrested. They were arrested on the 21st and arraigned on the 22nd already-

Brandi - I agree about the Kyle thing, but why would he call a reporter from out of town, and not someone local. Also, the only report I have seen that they are withholding poor little Somer's body (and that it will not be available for the memorial and burial) is from the Orlando station. I have not heard that on the local stations at all.

[no rose colored glasses]

Well, I for one find it very bizare that Sean was staying at the house waiting for the kids to come home. Sean and mom have lunch and then she asks him to hang around?

[twocents]

Blink - I have to respectfully dis-agree. I live in this neighborhood, and trust me. There is nobody talking about it.

I'm sorry 2 cents, nobody is talking about what specifically?

I could be mistaken, but I thought there were photos of these men being arrested AT THE THOMPSON HOUSE??  In that case, it would seem they were arrested in the process of the crime.

Is there any link between those arrested for the armed robbery and the construction company?

This whole Kyle thing has me thrown.  Why call the media and not police?  If "Kyle" is involved, why call anyone at all?  Wouldn't you wait until the police put you in their sights before calling attention to yourself?

I'm not sure if "Kyle" exists or is something the guilty party made up.  Or perhaps there actually is someone named Kyle but the guilty party is using that name to write his own script.  I dunno.  But the story as is does not pass my bullsh*t test.

The armed robbery at 1706 Horton.

Ok, did I miss the part where I said people were or were not talking about it, or do you mean people are unaware of the incident?

Thanks much for the clarification, it helps to have a local perspective.

[MadMom]

The armed robbery at 1706 Horton.

Why is that?

People don't know?  There is no connection?  What?

Because I find it so odd I'd be asking anyone around.

[twocents]

ok perhaps I mis-read the quote below. Does this mean that you beleive that Diena thought it was relevant to report an armed robbery at her home as a result of Somer going missing? Maybe I am just confused by the wording.

The armed robbery at 1706 Horton.

Curious what are the neighbors saying, that they think this was done by a neighbor, by someone from the construction company, what is the general thought of the people in the neighborhood. Obviously fear and sadness, but are people talking about what they think happened?

[twocents]

The neighborhood believes 100% that it is the result of a sexual predator (registered or not). You have seen how close this community is. People want a public hanging.

wouldn't the robbery have been reported anyways, whether  Diena felt it was relevant or not? especially since LE was already at her house right? very confusing, all of this...

Thank-you, I'm sure the neighbors are angry, sad, and very scared.

And they should get one.
