confusing indeed.

FirstCoastNew is reporting that they are looking for a body but wont say who's then the jax4 news saying it is just routine and nothing was found relating to somer's case..

I dont know what to think..

Well, FCN is saying that officials from the Clay County Sheriff's Office are searching there. So I think we can assume what body they are looking for.

Crossing Guard Didn't See Somer Monday Afternoon

ORANGE PARK, FL -- One of three crossing guards Somer Thompson should have passed on her walk home from school Monday afternoon didn't see the young girl walk by the day she disappeared.

The Orange Park police officer who oversees the crossing guards says the first two, who were closest to the school, aren't sure if they saw Somer.

The first crossing station is just steps away from Grove Park Elementary, at Miller Street and West Gano Avenue. The second is about a half-mile down West Gano. At the third stop, another 2/10-mile down Gano, the crossing guard "is confident she didn't see Somer."

None of the crossing guards would talk on camera. We tracked Somer's routine walk home from school and it's exactly one mile.

"Coming and going from school, usually there are larger groups of children that are walking together. [They should] keep their eyes open, stay away from cars, stay away from anybody you don't know," Clay County superintendent David Owens says.

Owens says his heart sunk when he learned Thompson disappeared leaving school. She's just 7 years old and in the first grade.

"When should a kid be able to walk home alone from school?" First Coast News' Erich Spivey questioned.

"Looking at age characteristics, I think maybe an 8- or 9-year-old looking at the judgment of a student 8 or 9 years old certainly would be better than the judgment of a 5- or 6-year-old kindergartner or first-grader," Owens says.

I was just reading more about that Indigo healing thing that the mother's boyfriend, I'm guessing boyfriend, is involved in. I don't get bad feelings about it, though I guess I can see how. This guy could be a great guy who loves kids, but we have all gotten so leery of people, it is hard to know. But I will say the Mom certainly looked horrifically stunned and saddened, I don't think she had anything to do with this, I was shocked over on WS some people are questioning her behavior. Yes, some people go in and out of crying and talking rational and swaying back and forth, I do that when I'm very upset. I truly believe some monster grabbed this little one

One of the comments, i think on FCN, said something about garbage pickup was yesterday so perhaps thats why they are at the landfill today.

Unless the crossing guards are very familiar with the children, I can totally understand if one isn't sure if Somer crossed or not, and could get confused and say they saw her, when it could have been another day.

Thanks, sure seems far to go to a landfill, but then I don't know about these things

Personally, I don't think the family or people in the household have anything to do with it. I am really thinking it is a stranger abduction.

I also though about the landfill thingy. It could be that this is where Orange Park's garbage goes? And maybe they are just checking it out as routine, to eliminate the possibility.

Just my thoughts.

Saw this on WS, from a former babysitter of Somer, I guess at this point one can take it with a grain of salt, but interesting.             Megan Reese, 17, who has babysat Somer in the past said that she was head strong and contradicted the mother by saying that it was not anything new for Somer to run ahead of her siblings on the way home from school and that she would take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to make her way home; and that her mother had a list of phones numbers for her friends and would start calling the friends if she took too long to get home. The baby sitter said she never knew where Somer ran to, but she loved tree houses and swimming pools. Many times Somer would get upset as she felt the other kids picked on her and she would run away.

It could be the closed one for Orange Park...I'm not too sure though.

No Rose, I read that GA is where they take the Clay county garbage, but I agree, 55 miles seems along way to go to for that, and across a state line?

Thanks, just seemed far, but maybe not.

Thank-you, it sounds like little Somer is an explorer, for awhile I thought maybe she was fooling around and met with a bad accident.

Thanks, it does seem far, but I am not even sure where our garbage goes, so ours could go that far as well.

I don't think it is that unusual to ship garbage from one state to another to landfills. For instance, NYC ships their garbage to several surrounding states.
