Previous Incident Near Somer's Home Being Looked at Again

ORANGE PARK, FL -- An attempted abduction that happened near Somer Thompson's home 10 days before she disappeared is being re-investigated.

Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler says he has no link tying the incident to Somer's disappearance, but he can't rule it out either. Somer, 7, disappeared while walking home from Grove Park Elementary with her siblings and some friends Monday afternoon.

The Oct. 10 incident happened around 12:30 p.m. Police say a blue, four-door sedan, possibly a Nissan, pulled up. A woman and two men inside tried to lure a 5-year-old into the car.

The girl's mother, April Boothroyd, says they told her daughter they were supposed to pick her up and take her home. Her daughter told them, "no."

Boothroyd believes her daughter is okay because a woman who saw what was going on went to help. "Something looked off to me," says Shannon Pillott.

Pillott says she went up to the kindergartner and asked her if she knew the people. The child told her no and that they tried to get her into the car.

Pillott says when she turned around the car was gone, then she followed the little girl home.

Boothroyd adds she knows her daughter is alive and well thanks to that good samaritan.

I know that somer's dad has not seen her in 2 years. But I wonder if they talk on the phone. Anyway I was reading where someone said that maybe the reason that they are wanting him to stay in nc because him and somer's mom may not get along. But I am just asking because I don't know. Does the dad have to stay just because they told him to stay home and see what happens. I just was wondering if he was to go to florida anyway. Would he get in trouble. And he could just stay in a motel or something but at least he would still be there. He will always be upset with his self for not being in her life or not seeing her in 2 years. I am just asking. Because I am wondering your opinions

I am not sure why LE advised Sam Thompson to remain in NC. But I believe they asked him to stay there just for the time being.

He is, of course, free to go to Florida if he chooses.

But I am betting LE has a reason to ask him to stay in NC for right now. And I respect the fact that he took their advice, personally.

I hear he is a disabled vet, not sure what his disability is. He may not be ambulatory or something. Could be that it would be a physical hardship for him to travel.

Just don't know.

Yeah my little boy is a bit small. I was just thinking 27 pounds was a big difference,I was wrong. I guess.  I hope and pray that she is found soon I am so upset everytime I turn around another child is gone! It makes over protective parents like me. So much worse. I sometimes think that I am going to loose my mind I am always scared. If my boys r outside I am at that window every 3 to 4 minutes to check on them. If I don't see them I go straight out the door. And holler untill I get an answer. I don't let them go nowhere at all. And if I go they go. I swear sometimes I really think I am loseing it. And scared I am going to hurt my kids by the way I am. In the long run. So do I need help. Like do I need to go talk to someone?I freak out of just the thoughts of me not finding them after looking for 5 minutes. I get hot I already have the phone in my hand while I am waiting for an answer. What do you guys think. Am I nuts. And do I need to chill out a bit. But if I chill out and something happens. I would never ever forgive myself EVER!! Any advice? you guys seem to be very smart and full of ideas

I am not even close to being caught up in this thread but I wanted to post before I forgot where this was and had to look again.  My 7 year old weighs about the same as your son.  She is small for her age too and wears a slim in clothes, regulars literally fall off of her.  Her younger sister is 17 months younger and just as tall and weighs one pound less and can't fit into a slim to save her life.  I assume she will be about 50 lbs. by the time she is 7, but I haven't seen anything on a birthdate yet so Somer may be an older 7 year old, almost 8?  I also don't think you are crazy, if it wasn't for school and extracurricular activities my kids wouldn't even know what a sun is due to the fact I don't like my neighborhood.  The people here think I am crazy and stuck up but if someone grabs a kid around here (the neighborhood) I guarantee you it won't be mine.

Ty ariana for your reply. I was really bout to freak out about that weight thing I know a few other kids my sons age and they are nowhere near 65 pounds. And my son is in a slim also. Thank heaven for the jeans with the straps in the inside of the pants so you can pull the waist tighter lol. If not for them my little boys jeans would fall down lol. I did have to make him a belt I had to put holes in it cause they don't make them small enough for him. Anyway enough about that. Thanks for saying I am not crazy. Because I have been told many times that I am.  just because I want to know where my boys are at. At all times.  Not only did it make me think I am really going nuts because I am over protective. But it is also makeing me ill. And I am thinking to myself. Well maybe you are just not protective enough. Anyway thanks

Was hoping Somer would be home by now, as all of you have. Was hoping I would not have to do one of these for her.
